Back in Korea

Well after a wonderful trip to Vancouver I am back in the ROK for my last tour of duty. I am settled in my new apartment, which is the best apartment I have had to date. Spacious (relative to Korean bachelor apartment standards) and on the fourth floor it's big enough to host and has plenty of natural light. I don't start work until Thursday so I have a few days of R&R. My jetlag is almost non-existant except that I am waking up at 6 every morning, but I expect that will change once I get my hagwon hours going.

I say this is my last tour because while in Vancouver I met with a former professor who I wish to do an MA with. He said that he liked one of my thesis topics and would agree to do it were I accepted. It is based partially on what I have done here in Korea and with better Korean language skills (and much improved reading and writing of Hanja) I should be able to do it next year. Money is, alas, the only issue.

Other than that just catching up with a few friends (who will all be waking up in 2-3 hours) and buying a few things for the apartment are whats on the agenda. However this morning is a tropical downpour so coffee and a movie may be in order for the moment..... oh and I'm not cold anymore :P
