Canada has been pretty decent for visiting. The weather nicer and cooler than in Mokpo and it has been very nice to have wide open spaces again to enjoy. The homemade cooking is also really nice. The downtime I have here has been great and I’ve been thinking lots about next year and beyond. I am pretty sure I am going to leave my school and Mokpo next year. I don’t want to live in the same city, the same apartment, and working at the same school for three years. I want to change things up. I know I want to stay within Jeolla province but not sure which city I want to live in. I’ve given thought to Suncheon, Yeosu, Naju, and Wando. Gwangju is a distant option.
I also have a somewhat clearer idea of what I will do after my time in South Korea is up. I was originally planning on Teachers College but I don’t think this is for me. Instead I am giving lots of thought to Museum Curatorship. I love History and it allows me to use my education in something I enjoy. I would like to save for school next year then begin the program in 2011.
When back in Korea, I want to make more use of my time and travel around the country more on weekends and take in much more. I haven’t done that as much since my core group of friends left last year. But I will be out and about!
