Six Months in Korea

I have now been here for six months. My plane left Bradley International Airport in Hartford, Connecticut on Dec. 26 and then I took another one out of New York City. I then landed in Incheon, South Korea on Dec 27 Korean time.
Wow. It has been some six months. I was very glad to rekindle friendships that I left behind here and to meet up with some acquaintances again. I was glad to return to my old haunts.
I admit that I am glad to be back in Korea. I am very happy to be here. Korea has found a special place in my heart and it will always be there. I feel that I could stay here indefinately. I am not sure when I'll move on. I'll just see where I feel God is leading me.
The sad part is that I haven't liked my job. I don't want to work with young children again. I don't dislike kids, but I don't feel that I am good with them. I have been emotionally, physically, and spiritually drained over this job. I am very thankful that I have found another job that looks a lot better where I can teach older children.
I have thankfully have had lots of good times with friends again. I feel loved. I want to have many more good times.

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. I think some shapes Will gradually

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
