I hate packing and moving but hate the idea of being in the same place for so long. Part of me wants to just say "Screw it. I'll rebuy everything when I get to the new place." Yet I'm not made of money so this is impossible.
I'm beyond excited to teach in Korea for a year but also freaked. Yeah, I was in Ireland for three months and didn't get home sick but three really isn't that long of a time period. With Korea, I'd be gone for a whole year in a whole different culture.
I could easily say no to Korea and hope that I'd get another job somewhere in the states. But since I have zero teaching experience, due to being straight out of college, and governments are cutting funding (don't even get me started), school districts are more inclined to take the more experienced teachers that are being layedoff due to the said budget cuts. The only place that is really hiring teachers is the places around home. I've lived in the same area for 22, nearly 23, years. I need excitement and experiences that involve more then navigating the new road patterns on the beltway (which is both exciting and a new experience every time I'm on it. If you don't believe me, go drive it).
I need to step out of my comfort zone. I'm just going to be nervous every step of the way.
