Hi Friends :)
Thought I would update you on my last couple of months here in Korea.
It has been crazy rain for probably the past 3 weeks. We have had some breaks for a couple of days, however most of the time it has been kind of gloom. I am starting to get used to it and it does not bother me as much anymore.
I hear it is quite the warm spell at home!! Like 90!
I remember those hot hot days when I used to Lifeguard! I would go into the pool ever 30 minutes. Make sure you are staying hydrated everyone.
The last couple of weekends I have been on the move. I went to visit my friend Zach in Ulsan almost three weeks ago. He went to John Carroll with me. We had a good time with his friends partying and eating some great Mexican food.
Once in a while it is awesome to see a familiar face and talk about the times back in college. I sound so old! Talking about the 'Good Old Times!'
Two weekends ago I went to Busan with my friends Aisling and Laurel. I have Friday's off now (finally) so we went down early Friday and came back Sunday afternoon. Busan is a beach city. It is the second biggest city in Korea with lots to do.
We did a little shopping, went to a park and went up to the "Busan Tower." We were able to see all of Busan from there while relaxing and having a coffee.
It was honestly a great break from the insane city called Seoul. Don't get me wrong, I love love love Seoul, but I needed a bit of a chill weekend.
Last weekend I hung out in Seoul with friends. I finally was able to sit and finish my book I bought when I went home for Matt's wedding! I have not sat down and just read!
My friend Lauren and I went out and bought snacks for her kids and roamed around the area where we live.
Saturday we got some Greek food and went out for drinks! I also met with my friend Lucy, Carrie, and a new Teacher named Kyle.
In about a month and a half I am coming back to the States! The only problem I see with this is that I am meeting some amazing new people who now work with me.
I can tell they are sad too because they just arrived. I know I have to just let it go and I am completely planning on staying in touch so we can get together when they come back to the states.
They came at the right time though. Right when Racheal and Brandon left. We have had a good couple of months to get to know each other and hang out :)
This week is the end of my seventh week of my fourth term! I have six weeks left of teaching in Korea. What a spectacular year this has been. I am now in the process of looking at tickets. I am thinking the last weekend of August is when Kristen will be flying home. Get excited!!! =)
I started dancing again in my class so you know I am happy about coming home. I do frequently dance in class and I am a little silly. It is the only way the kids don't fall asleep after a full day in school!
Okay time to go do battle with the rain!
XOXO Kristen
