The Ramblings of Loren Christopher

So I just wanted to post a quick entry to say that I was offered a job and signed the contract. The school is called “JLS” and they’re a very reputable company that’s been around for 21 years. I am SO happy that all the immigration material has been squared away and that we finally got it all figured out. Now let’s just hope all goes as planned this first month and we don’t have any hold ups!

But really quick, about my job. I’m only scheduled 20 hours per week which is VERY good, and I don’t have any blocks in between classes, nor do I have office hours where I’m required to be at the school. I simply show up, teach back to back, and then leave. This is very rare in Korea so I feel lucky to have gotten such a great schedule.

My apartment is a lot bigger than I expected (I move in on Tuesday of next week, they’re furnishing and cleaning it this weekend), and it’s only two blocks from the school and a subway stop! Plus there is a huge E-Mart right across the street from me (like a classier version of Super Walmart, but built vertically). Indeed I am very lucky, and in speaking with the other foreign teachers there they’ve said that it’s a great school and branch to work for.

So…wish me luck on my first day today! I’m a little nervous, but just ready to get started and get the hang of it also. Tonight is my Birthday celebration and I’m bringing my camera. Sorry no pictures in this entry!

Much love!
