So here’s what’s really happening in my world….

As some of you may know, I’ve accepted a job offer from a University in a nearby city. I’m excited about it, and am getting mentally prepared to make the shift from being a kindergarden teacher to a University Instructor within the next 3 months.

Here’s the problem…my current employers don’t want me to leave. (To the point of calling another university that offered me a job, and ‘requesting’ that they don’t hire me!!!!) My contract is finished at the end of February, but even though I’ve tried to tell them 3 times that I’m leaving when my contract is finished, they don’t believe me!! They keep asking me to “think about it some more”. I seriously don’t know how to tell them that I’m really really going. So things are kind of touch-and-go to say the least.

But, on the bright side, I do have the memory of that Chicken sandwich , and all those socks to cheer me up.

Mmm. I just had the BEST chicken sandwich ever. I also bought 8 pairs of socks tonight…so I can postpone doing laundry for another week. There’s a woman outside our school who sells socks every Wednesday and Thursday. Today, I couldn’t resist.

yes, it’s been a slow news day in my world……..

We decorated for Christmas on Friday night. We made eggnog and played Bing Crosby’s White Christmas CD. We’ve got a little tree, and some lights and some stockings. It looks pretty festive (If you forget that it’s sunny and 13 degrees outside.

This afternoon I spent my time at the clinic, and got a shot in my butt and 6 pills to take 3x/day for 2 days. The clinic and the drugs cost a total of 4,500 won (about $5). I’ve got a really sore throat…I think it’s strep throat. nasty. ouch. ouch. ouch. ouch.
