Funny Blog

This is a blog I came across. I love it because I enjoy taking pictures of passed out people here in Korea. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do....

$#$^@$^%#%@#$%#$&$%&#$^@#$%@#$^@$^!!!!!

Well this weekend did not go as I had hoped. I left without a new job for next school year. I was on the verge of receiving an offer from Zurich International School (my dream school/job), but obviously that didn't happen. This job fair was like one kick after the next to my nuts. Ouch. Right now I feel quite defeated. Sure there are still options out there, but who knows. The best place and best odds to get a job is at a recruiting fair, and that didn't happen for me. Anyways, doing my best not to be self-loathing. If something is going to happen, I have to make it happen. London was cool though. English speakers and good beer :)

Off To London

It's Thursday night here in Korea and I'm packing two suits and few other things in order to head off to London tomorrow morning . For three days I'll be attending an international school job fair in hopes of landing a job somewhere in Europe. I'm nervous. I'm excited. I'm wondering if any school is going to pick me up or not. It seems like everyone around me is confident that I'll get offered a job, but who knows...

As much as I want to leave Korea, I know I'm going to miss this place. The reality of a potential move hit me tonight while I've been packing. I'm actually sad. But this is normal and it will pass. I look forward to the possibilities of so many new experiences that come along with a new job in a new country.

We'll see what happens...

Nepal


At the top of Island Peak - 20,305 ft

I could write a short novel about my trip to Nepal, but I'm lazy now, so I'll be brief. Nepal was AMAZING. Nearly every aspect of the trip was perfect...the only that wasn't was two days of altitude sickness. Seeing Mount Everest, going to Everest Base Camp, and climbing Island Peak were all dreams come true. For now, here is a link to some pictures. I will post more.
