It seems like it was long ago that I wrote anything on this blog, or anything having to do with computers. In these last few weeks it seems time as gotten the best of me and worn me down to almost nothing, but that is when God usually steps in and does something amazing.
I have been working too much for the last couple of months and my body shut down. I became really sick with a 103 F fever and still was working. A couple of weeks before that I had been trying to express the stretching thin of my time to my employer. When I was sick I finally was in a state of mind that I didn't care if I lost my job and told him I couldn't work like this anymore. I was dealing with culture shock, working with twelve different level books, creating 2 different curriculums, and teaching 27 classes each week. By the time the weekend would come I was sleeping twelve hours a day and the rest of my time was dedicated to working and eating.
I started to come into a state of mind numbness and was just doing actions of teaching and started to lose heart causing me to hate and despise teaching. After I talk to my employer he seemed to have heard when I told him that I was thinking of going back to America or work for a different English School in Korea. That got his attention and he finally realized that he was spreading me too thin. My schedule has changed for the month of February and I love it. I only am teaching eighteen to twenty classes each week with nine different level and creating curriculum for one class. My life has just become simplier. Culture shock is wearing off and I am sleeping a normal amount of hours, giving more time to do the everyday thing like cleaning and cooking. lol
This weekend I have a five day holiday, it is the last holiday I recieve until July or August, but have made plans to use some vacation time to enjoy life a little but more. In march I am going to Japan for a weekend to visit my best friend. We are both very excited to see each other and to experience a place I have dreamed about for so long. :)
Now, for those of you who are interested in being penpals to my students here are some instructions. I will have my students write you first so you won't have the difficulty trying to connect and get to know them. I first need to know if you are interested, if so please email me at redvwbug@sbcglobal.net marked penpal in the subject. I will then send you an email about your penpal so you will have some information about them. All my students are very polite and love to learn English. This is the first step to getting connected. Thank you for your interest in me and my students. Through writing and internet we can change the world. Love you all Reha
