How I went from jobless to employed in just five...
I posted that I lost my job due to my academy’s closing on Christmas Eve.
Since then (well, since Monday, since Sunday was Christmas), I have been frantically contacting every possible school and recruiter in hopes of finding part-time work in the afternoons. Some recruiters didn’t understand my request and sent me listings for jobs with hours like 2:30-9:30pm every day. I was like,...

Fingers Crossed Tumblrs
I submitted an application for a full-time job starting in March today. Will know by Thursday if I’ve got an interview, and by early next week if the job is mine…
It’s not exactly the perfect scenario (that being a part time job that enables me to both go to Sogang University’s morning program, and earn enough money to pay my rent and eat meals).
However, the school is...

My Christmas
was a million times better than my Christmas Eve day.
I guess it really starts at Christmas Eve night.
I had a Christmas party with my friends who play frisbee. It was held at the house of a guy who is in the army. Due to his military status we had easy access to base-provided Christmas dinners, so I managed to eat Turkey, Ham, Roast Beef, mashed potatoes, pasta, corn bread, vegetables, pie, and...

That time I lost my job on Christmas Eve
Well, so here begins one of my most depressing stories from my time in Korea.
As I had written not so long ago, I have been working for a pre-school academy part time since September. I loved my students and my co-teachers, even if there were some things that were annoying and stressful and not so wonderful about the job. Plus, it gave me a visa and a salary which was/is critical for me to...

“Hey. You, Russian? Elevator, go go.”
– A very disgusting old Korean man after hitting my butt and then trying to get me to ride the elevator with him alone. I was completely shocked and disgusted and couldn’t really say anything. He was super creepy. I didn’t know what to do or say so I just kind of stood there like oh. my....

Word. Seriously.
not-delusional:
A war?
Are people more worried about a ‘potential’ war because of the harm it could bring to both countries and her people? Or more worried about the possibility of your bias being drafted?
Don’t be selfish.
If there is indeed a war, I fervently hope that you will be praying for all the innocent civilians of N. and S. Korea rather than only praying for your kpop idols.
And...

Damn
The coffee shop I decided would be my new standard for studying is closed tonight. I am so depressed. The coffee shop I am at now is FREAKING FREEZING. I am literally wearing a camisole, a long sleeve tee, a wool sweater, a pea coat, a scarf, gloves, boots, and have a blanket over my lap and I’m still cold. This blows… And I have two more hours of stuff to do… ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
The good news...

Yay!
My electronic dictionary came! I incidentally ordered an extra case so I have to return that sometime soonish. But otherwise, it’s beautiful and I love it. A lot.
I mean, I’m still figuring out how to best use it, but still, it’s exciting to have a new gadget!
Plus now I can fit in with all the other Japanese students who all have their dictionaries. Mine is gonna make...

Winter Quarter
I’m a week and a half into my winter quarter, and I feel it’s about time for me to write something about my time so far.
I did a pretty poor job of detailing my time in Level 3. But that ends here and now.
Level 3 (a brief review):
I made lots of new friends, and found a couple people I really don’t care for. I suppose this is true of any school, but it seems like there are...
