night 1 and day 1

oh my goodness! well.......i got picked up, finally, last night around 9pm from tobi's apartment. the vice-principal, who's in charge of the hiring and taking care of the foreign teachers, drove me to my new apartment. it is clean......which is the biggest worry.......but it is also very, very, tiny. there is a single bed and with not much floor space i'm supposed to be getting a fridge and wardrobe in the next week. good thing i have a tiny laundry area where i think i can put the wardrobe. as soon as possible i'll be posting pics of the apartment so you can see just how small it is.

i also found out that i'm going to japan this week wednesday, not next week. the communication misunderstandings are inevitable........but hard to get used to again. so i think i go to school tomorrow for a couple of hours (as the new students aren't at the school 'till monday) then off to japan wednesday and back friday..........but i will remain on my toes for the plans to be changing at the drop of a hat. they always do.

everyone at the school seems very nice and helpful so far. i think it's going to be a great year. unless this housing situation improves to a bigger place.......i'm only staying at this school for a year. that's not to say that i'll only be in korea for one year. if i decide to stay for a second year i'll be able to choose my school from here and check out the apartment and school before agreeing on a contract.

hopefully i'll be getting a phone sooner than later and i'll post my number here so you'll be able to call me. : ) it probably won't happen 'till after japan though.
