Back and Settled

Well it's been a long couple of weeks but I am back and settled in Daegu with a new job, new apartment and the internet. So far I really like my new place and my new school, while more rigid and demanding than Reading Town, is also much more organized and thus time flies (I can't believe it's Thursday already) and stress is kept to a mnimum (so far at least, it's only week two). So new coworkers seem really nice but unlike previous schools everyone has been there for a while already, in some cases for a few years, so I'm falling in to a fairly set routine already, rather than being able to create my own system as I have done previously. Also, it's a much more professional environment. Many Korean academies are really just ad hoc education centers whereas Moonkkang is a top academy in Korea (certainly the top outside of Seoul) and so the adjustment has been a bit more intense than in previous years. That being said, the paycheques that accompany the job certainly offset and extra effort that is required.

There's a lot to say in some ways but in others it's just another move and another contract, fairly standard in Korea. I'm also starting to set a routine for myself which is nice. Hopefully there won't be anymore big upheavals for a while (not that moving and travelling isn't fun, but being essentially homeless for a month can get old). This weekend I'm in Busan with Bobby for the 2012 Asia Series so hopefully I'll have more to write on then and I can get back to writing about regular life.
