This is an interesting time...

Today we finished up the last bits of lecture and the long days of sitting in the classroom listening to speakers wax poetically about classroom management, lesson planning, and other critically important but still dry topics have come to an end. Now it's getting close to "go" time. Tomorrow we're meeting with the Municipal Office of Education that we'll be working for, and for most of the people I've met and become friends with that means the Daegu MOE. We should find out tomorrow what school we'll be teaching at, what level that school is, and then we can extrapolate from there what side of town we'll be living on. This is super exciting and somewhat terrifying all at once. We're moving to Korea and being set loose all on our own on a new town to explore. Exciting! Babehoney and I will have to somehow locate each other after we separate to meet our co-teachers. Terrifying! 

Once we arrive in Daegu we're going to have to get our Alien Resident Cards, get all of our services like cell phone and internet hooked up, and all of that jazz. This means we might feasibly only be able to communicate with family and friends back home by email for a bit...terrifying! But, I'm sure we'll come to a place where we can make it work easily. It's just a matter of getting the lay of the land and figuring out what to do first. I was rather intimidated when were leaving for Busan, and this is a much, much smaller journey. We're going to be just fine, and I'll update my blog as much as possible from work and any available wifi hotspot as we progress towards getting the intertubes installed.

We're so ready to get back to "normal" with a place (or two) of our own and a routine to fall into...and all sorts of neat foods to try and sites to see and such.

That's all for tonight, we have presentations of our lesson plans early tomorrow morning, meetings with the MOE tomorrow afternoon, and I could use some rest.
