Something better on the Horizon?

Found out last night that there is an opportunity for me to move schools, as Jeremy is leaving ( he has only been here 3 weeks). Not only that, I would get his apartment, which is in the same block as the people I know, and within walking distance of the school (yet more money saved for the piggy bank, yey!). At this new school, there is communication, support and direction, where at the my current school, the teachers can barely speak English and have not bothered to let me know the ability level of the students. For example, the lowest class are reading a story book with a certain level of English, and apparently understand it. But, as I learned the hard way, they cannot string a sentence together, with the same level of grammar and context, even if Andi had repeated it with them for 6 lessons. If I leave, there is a fine of some sort to pay for breaking the contract. If my new boss will pay it (which must be cheaper than a recruitment fee) and I get my visa changed, then its all go and its all good. The down side is that I will have to stay in Korea for a couple more months, but at least I will get 7 days off at christmas, therefore more travel opportunities!!!

This weekend has been quiet. Friday 1.30 to 2.10 in the afternoon was strange. A war siren began to wail throughout the city, the traffic stopped and people ran into the buildings. It was like a ghost town, except for the roar of aircraft overhead. At 2.10 the siren sounded again, and the city sprang back to life. I found out that it is a practice in the event of war as North Korea has missiles pointing at nearly every city in South Korea, including Gunsan, which has its own airbase. Moreover, there are two terrorists who have escaped the Middle East and are on their way to South Korea as I type this. B-E-A-UTIFUL. But lets face it, nowhere in the world is safe these days, so there is no point in worrying about it.

The Boss changed my timetable this Friday, and has now given me the 15 year olds. Surprisingly, I really enjoyed teaching them, with amusing answers being thrown at me to questions like, 'If you were rich, what would you buy?', and city vs country. I hope it stays that way, but hey, I might me be leaving anyway.
