I had to go back to school the day after Christmas, when all of a sudden it felt as if Christmas never really happened this year. But I only had to teach for a couple of days and on December 30, I boarded a plane bound for Australia, where I spent the first two weeks of January exploring Sydney and Canberra with my Australian friend Emma. I even got to be down at the Sydney Opera House/Harbour Bridge at midnight with a million other people for the most fantastic fireworks display in the world! I took lots of pictures while in Australia, so you can check them out in my newly updated links section on the right.
The rest of January I spent back in Korea on winter break. I have been enjoying my time off hanging out with my friends, and the past two weeks we have taken a TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) course provided to us by Korean Nazarene University. It was quite comprehensive and I am thankful because when I finish the last two weeks of the course next summer I will be given a TESOL certificate, which is recognized throughout the world.
Next week I will go back to school for one week to finish up the school year, then after two more weeks off I will begin teaching full-time again at the beginning of March, with a new group of kids, as this is when the students advance a grade.
Alright well that pretty much catches this blog up; be sure to look at my pictures--I have 15 new albums! The new ones begin with the Muju album.
