Hi Guys! So Sunday I woke up at my usual 4:30 a.m. (screw you time change) and contemplated going to church...I dilly dallied on the computer, watched the one english channel on my TV and ate my bowl of cereal. Then at 9 I decided I was going to go. Well, while walking the less than 1000 feet to the subway I met this American girl (second foreigner I have seen in my area of Banghwa). She was going to church too and invited me along. We made introductions on the hour and a half trip and she is super cool, a musical theater actress who trained in Korea and moved back to teach to be with her Korean boyfriend. Anyways the church was amazing! And I had a great morning! Oh and she told me about a gym in my area, which I desperately was in search for! Overall A++ morning!
Then I came back, dropped off my stuff and got ready for my work meeting, while waiting for my boss I met more Americans! They meet every Thursday and Friday night, so hopefully I will become part of the group...
My work meeting went well, quite nervous for teaching, but heck no turning back now right?
That is when my day turned bad...my co-worker left and I decided I would go buy some longer shorts (my shorts are too short, its like 85 degrees and so I need something longer, that’s not full pants to wear to work). On the subway I saw numerous Americans, but they all just ignored me...it was so weird. Foreigners here are such a holes sometimes. They don’t want to be bothered with new people...so shopping was incredibly lonely and I was thrown into a big bout of homesickness...
Now, its 6 a.m. I leave for work in 2 hours and I am hoping that today stays good, and that I meet people! Its incredibly lonely to not speak the language, understand anything, and have no one talk to you..but people tell me it will improve and I have faith in God it will! So here’s to a super awesome day!!
Lots of love,
Marilyn
