One more class to teach in the afternoon today and I'll be on vacation!
a very much needed vacation in Thailand..
Going home to finish packing and heading out to spend the night at Sheng's after work.
I'm beyond excited to go and see my parents.
No words can describe how incredibly excited I am.
Anyway, I'll be taking lots of pictures- will post them after.
Have a wonderful Christmas and a very merry New Year, everyone!

Ready or not
2 weeks to make a decision went down to 1 day.
I was told yesterday that they'd like to know by today what my decision will be.
I quickly called my mom during my lunch break yesterday and gave her the news.
I'm sure she knew it was coming.
Got more emotional than I thought.
Take away the bills that I still need to pay off, then I'd be the happiest girl alive. because it would mean I can go home.. and not worry about not having a job to pay ..of course the monthly bills.
However, it would make life too easy right? taking bills away. It's like taking pain away from the world. Of course it would be easier to live without pain.. or without bills. But there would be no excitement. no hard decision-making. no traveling to the other side of the world to pay off bills. no adventure. the world could get pretty boring.
So, I made the decision to stay.
Talking to Sheng on skype last night made me realize that I knew I would be staying another year. I just couldn't admit to it. and I still can't. because honestly, I really want to go home. spend some time with my baby. and not seeing my family for another year. really? Can I really do that?
Can or.. cannot. I will have to. now.
I told them today that I will re-sign.
Here's to another year in Korea and to saving money (so I don't have to stay a third year).
FIGHTING!!
Oh and the first snow fall came today. It was light. and pretty. but it's freezing cold.

To stay or to leave.
As if lesson planning, teaching, and planning for Winter camp is not enough, I was told this morning that I need to figure out by the end of this month.. if I'll be re-signing or not. Where did the time go? How am I already starting my 9th month here..and needing to make a decision on staying or leaving?
A part of me wants to stay. A part of me wants to go.
Thinking about all the bills I could possibly pay off if I stayed another year.. makes me want to stay.
Then I look at pictures of my niece growing up so fast without me.. and I want to leave.
I had my heart set on staying for just one year. But now, I really don't know.
