On Sunday September 27th, I was greeted by a neon lit city after getting off flight 972! The excitement of the city that evening set the pace for the rest of my week.
On Monday morning, I started my transition to be Ms. Linzy teacher(They decided to change the spelling of my name?) The first day was very overwhelming to say the least. While suffering from jet lag I observed the teacher I was replacing. I had to soak in all the information quickly, because I was going to be on my own on Wednesday. Even though the day was exhausting, I knew my year in Korea would be worth it after meeting my students! They are so funny and cute. I have a very diverse class schedule. Some of the classes are drama, writing, reading, speech, art, science, music, etc. I'm sure in few weeks I'll have the routine down!
After having a full day of school I was very tired and hungry. Heather and I decided to try out a small restaurant by our apartment. The owner and cook was very nice and patient with us. Everything was in Korean and no pictures so I basically acted out that I was hungry and anything would suffice. Not knowing "anything" would mean a side dish of small dried fish with the skin and eyeballs. I guess that is the beauty of being in another country! You just roll with the punches. The owner also found the way I was using my chopsticks as inefficient so she cut up my food as if I was a little baby! We were both able to laugh about it! After dinner, it was definitely time to get rested for the next day!
