Jo's Great News

I just got a phone call today that means I'll be staying even closer to home come September. Yes, that's right. I got into Western ! The paperwork will go through this weekend, but the position is mine and I'm so excited, and I just can't hide, I know, I know I know, I know I know I want this. It means that I can probably live at home, or even if I rent a place near home, it's very near home, we're talking less than an hour. I'll still have to go and visit the little sis so we can go shopping in the States, but I'll be calling London home, and maybe I can use some of my cousin's books, she just finished a similar program at the same school, and honestly, how many text books have you ever used after you finished a course. Thats right, maybe one, because it showed you how to reference correctly. So that's my big news. It's after 2 AM here right now, and thank goodness tomorrow is a holiday or it would be a very tough day indeed.

I hope that everyone is doing great back home and I'll see you all in 2 months!

Oh My God! It's been a while.

Well, Sorry for the lack of updates. It has been a very busy spring/early summer.

Things are winding down on our contract. We're officially at the 11 month marker today. Korea has been a good experience for the both of us, despite some ups and downs (Being robbed ranks somewhere around number 1) we've had a good time.

We are presently planning our Asia tour for when we leave Korea. I will be going to Taiwan, Singapore and off to Thailand, then home through Hong-Kong, Vancouver, and back to Toronto. Jo will be continuing on for a couple extra weeks visiting some of the more remote areas, but since I must conserve the money I will be coming home sometime around the 17-18 of July (International Date Lines can be tricky) .

It is my intention to return to Korea (Unless a lucrative job prospect arises while I'm at home) in order to save up enough money to fully pay for teachers college in the states. I found out recently that in order to go to a school in the US I need a foreign language course at the University level, which I am lacking. So the plan is to find a Distance Education one I can take to get that covered then start in the January semester. That way I will have the $ and not have to worry how I'm going to afford school.

In any event, this was just a quick update because I've been neglecting this blog seriously over the past month. Stay tuned for Lucas and Jo's Camera Safari when we buy a new Digital Camera sometime this month for Jo's birthday.

That is all.
