#jochiwon

Sorry for being super inactive but I’ve been a lot busier than I thought I would be! 

But after stressing and worrying I finally made it to Korea safe and sound! I spent the night in a hotel and then moved to 경기대 in 수원 for orientation. 

THE HILLS- I kept joking that orientation was actually boot camp and i don’t think I was too far off XD

THE LACK OF WIFI- The dorm rooms didn’t have wifi! D: Thankfully we were provided with ethernet cables but those don’t work if you have a mac for some reason :’-) 

SEEING SNOW - I haven’t seen snow since I was 6 years old so I was very *____* (Although I would see a lot more snow after orientation) 

MEETING OTHER PEOPLE IN MY CITY- So there were only 10 other teachers who moved to Sejong ad 10/11 of us all live within a few minutes of each other! (Which is actually really nice!) Everyone has been really nice so far and I can’t wait to hang out with them in the future! :D 

This is the majority of what happened.  

So orientation ends and it is time to move to Sejong! 

Upon arrival, our MOE Coordinator helps set up our bank accounts, takes us out for lunch and coffee, and has us meet up with our co-teachers. After meeting up, they take us to our apartments (mine is actually pretty nice! I’m still waiting on a desk and chair though otl) 

Afterwards, I went ahead and met the Principal and the VP! They seemed really nice! (I can tell they were missing their old English teacher too though XD It makes sense though) 

After hanging out in 조치원 for a day I decided to brave it and go into 서울! Despite a couple of hiccups, I managed to arrive and meet up with my friends. I was really glad I did because I missed them a lot. I can’t wait to go into the city and see them a lot more. 

And now I am back in 조치원, trying to look up lesson plan ideas for middle school. I thought I was going to end up in elementary school but that didn’t happen :’) oh great :’)
