I may be going to Korea to teach English.

I haven’t really posted on here in a while because at this point I am not sure who if anyone reads this little blog on my site, and I was not sure how certain the possibility of me traveling to the Asian continent. It was something the seemed exciting to me at first. “Hey, I could be in korea teaching english, HAH!”

And then I looked at it seriously. What could I do other than teach there? Could I make a decent amount of money doing this? Would I have fun doing this? Would I be able to do this job?
Snowboard in the winter and surf in the summer, ~$10k+ after paying off my student loans (and on a very comfortable budget), yes!, and yes.

I also enjoy learning martial arts. Asia is kinda known for having a few of those. All of this topped with the fact that I will be able to travel, and learn a third language.

When I may leave is not set in stone, but even if I am not placed to a position and in Korea by the end of August, I will be first in line for positions opening up the first of next year. But it is very likely that I will be leaving Texas behind me within the next 2 weeks. I will miss it a lot, but I will miss my love… well… realistically I am only separated by a few miles now, but it feels like I may as well be in the eastern hemisphere already.

I doubt she reads this thing, so I make my confession now before I may tell her: Not being near or around her is killing me. Even at my happiest, there is a bitter sweetness. I may be going to keep myself from going crazy, as well as to accomplish something in my life that  not only she has set before me as something to do, but close friends have as well. Independence.

I have 100 reasons to go, and only a handful to stay… If me and her were even a possibility at this point, I would have a difficult decision.

Before I go, if I go, I will be attempting to create a few permanent changes to the site so that I may easily access and update it. As far as I know, Rob is still willing to host it, and I am still planning on updating it. (More often than the last few weeks in the first few weeks I am sure.) Among these changes, I hope, will be a story about a box.

I only wanted someone to love
But something happened on the way to heaven
It got a hold of me and wouldn’t let go
And I want you back
How many times do I have to say I’m sorry – Phil Collins

**Important note for those viewing in IE 7 and other older browsers.**
My sites menu and navigation might not display properly due tot he references to the php used in the CSS script used in the header file. Sorry, but after much deliberation I decided that it was a) Better looking with the current solution, b) more functional with the current solution, c) probably not going to effect many of you, and the majority those who have this problem will not much longer as the market shift to both vista and Windows 7, which comes with newer browsers preloaded.
