New Job!

At the beginning of July I will be starting a new job at Sahmyook High School in Guri City. I will be closer to Seoul and the subway system. I am glad of that since it takes me 45 minutes to an hour to get to the subway by bus. There I will be ten minutes away from the subway.
I am excited to start something new. I am sure I will like this a lot better than the hagwon.
I will be living by myself. I am not having problems with my current roommate, but living alone will be nice.
I am going to finally get into a dojang. I was wanting to do it soon after I arrived in Korea, but I had some bad health. The dojangs near where I am are mostly for children anyways. I have lots of students coming to class in doboks so I do think about martial arts a lot.
The job requires either 4 or 5 classes a day, which isn't bad. I do have to prepare a lot of stuff, and I want to start that right away. Lately I have been VERY stressed out and so I do want to make time to do something fun soon. I may go see a movie with friends or finally see the Renoir or Egypt exhibits that are currently in Seoul.

It does. This time I get to have a Korean teacher in the room with me. I like that better than being with the kids alone. Right now I am with elementary and middle school kids by myself. It is rough.

Hades Welcomes His Bride

While an undergraduate student at Andrews University I took a poetry class. I studied some of A.E. Stallings' poetry. She studied lots of classical poetry and literature of Greece. She does translation of poetry from Greek to English. An interesting thing she said was that when she was at university to study ancient, Greek poetry, she came across some poems that described early springtime flowers such as hyacinths blooming at the same time as later spring flowers. She interpreted that as a "golden age". She was later surprised when visiting the Greek countryside and finding those flowers blooming at the same time . She said that sometimes we do have to take things literally. This poem gave me the chills when I first read it. It is so deep and dark. Hades Welcomes His Bride Come now, child, adjust your eyes, for sight Is here a lesser sense. Here you must learn Directions through your fingertips and feet And map them in your mind.

So, I haven't been posting lately. I have been busy working on my Master's Degree in English and a Master's Certificate in Human Rights. I have been enjoying my studies overall. I have been challenged a lot by studying Chaucer this semester (hey, that guy lived six hundred years ago).  I hope to get at least a B in that class. I worked on my degree last summer, taking one class over Summer Session I and two over Summer Session II to get things done and over with.  I got an A and two A- grades.  I have been trying to stay afloat with this semester. I ended up with one late paper for Chaucer due to my factory job I had at the time and time management.  I ended up losing a letter grade, which made me upset. I decided that I have had enough of Facebook. I have been contemplating deleting my account.  I have already deleted my Twitter at least a year ago.  I also don't have Pinterest or Instagram.  I know that I use Facebook too much. I must spend less time there. Yesterda
