It would be awesome if you came to visit Korea! I'm still negotiating my next contract. But I am hoping to be able to come home in September and have them pay for my ticket back to Korea. The jury's still out on that one...
But I'll definitely be back by October. Or maybe I'll get the guts to go somewhere else and do something different. I should try to be more resourceful.
It's late and I've got Korean homework to do. Lots of it. I've never been to Denver. Sounds like fun.
Oh fuck am I sick of the same shit. Do NOT shout "hello!!!" to me as I'm driving by on my scooter. Do NOT slow your scooter down to a snails crawl while I am on my bicycle so that you may stare at me as we both are on our way to wherever the fuck
( ... )
It's lame, I know...but really...it's just being homesick that's making me so aggravated. After a break I'd be glad to be back here or somewhere else. I do like Korea. But there's no escaping being a foreigner. It's not like America where you can visit or immigrate and just blend in. Korea's so fucking homogeneous and full of Korean people that they're captivated when they see a foreigner. No matter how much Korean language or culture I learn, people will always stare at me and treat me like a foreigner. And it sucks always sticking out like a sore thumb. The anonymity of walking down the street and blending in with the crowd, looking just like everyone else, can be so comforting
( ... )
I'm actually looking at a job in Korea right now. Being a sore thumb sucks...but i found a job that would pay $3000-5000 a month if i get it. A year in Korea. If you stay that would make it great. I'm not exactly qualified for it. They want an English Lit major..but maybe other credentials will help. Gonna try it anyway. Also, I know it's a neurological thing. If I wasn't objectified on the job and had a bad experience with a Dean who just wanted to objectify me instead of letting me teach (the former more exhausting than the latter) then I wouldn't be so bitter. Also, I'm in Singapore right now and as soon as I landed I found myself dying to stare at every indian woman that I passed. I find them all so beautiful...I just couldn't help it. I curbed my desire (and the multitude of beautiful indian women has certainly helped...with my getting used to it) but denying myself the look in the beginning was almost painful. Anyway. Yeah. Korea. I might come. :)

Breast implants are gross. Permanent hair removal, however is awesome. I want to get it full-body.
“So what do you think I should do????” --Will your current options dry up if you decide to spend a few months state-side?
