Beginnings

Welcome! hwan-yeong!

After months of preperation, we have been placed at an immersion school in Seoul, South Korea which is by far more than we could have ever anticipated or hoped for. Life is going to change, yes... a lot. We often find ourselves smiling at nothing, just thinking about it.

Today we woke up to an email with copious amounts of attachments from the director of our school. She is trying to get us well prepared, but if you know me (Chayla) I learn from experience. I suppose I will be learning while I am teaching and while my students are learning... huh.

I will be teaching 4 year olds, the youngest and cutest students at this school. The reason for this, according to my interviewer, is because I have an innocent face. Isn't that nice. She also made me sing during the interview... yep. Twinkle Twinkle Little Star it was.

Michael is, well... we are not too sure yet what age he will be teaching. They were thinking the oldest kindergarden age and/or Elementary. Still sorting out those minor details. He sold them on his lesson plan about soil samples, genius! He was a rock star during the interview, but he didn't have to sing. Lucky guy.

So, now I sit here in a 2 bedroom apartment without anything packed up for storage and empty suitcases. Michael is getting in touch with his downward dog at Yoga class and relaxing his mind from all the mental chaos.

We board the plane on December 31st at 10:15am.
