Wow...Today is my last day in the US and I can't believe how fast this summer flew by. I finished working Friday at the waterpark, the same job I've done for 5 years.. and will definitely miss everyone there. At least two of my best friends Kim (who left for the Peace Corps a month ago) and Carolyn (who is moving to Chicago) are both done too. We had a lotttt of fun there, but I suppose it's time to move on for all three of us! Over the weekend, I said some more goodbyes and spent time with my family and Danny. Although I am nervous, I think excitement is finally taking over. My flight tomorrow is at 6:45, first to Denver, then to California, and finally to Seoul! It's about 21 hours of travel, but I have my new Kindle (thank you Danny!) an ipod, and the movies on the plane so hopefully it will go quickly, or at least as quickly as 21 hours of travel can go! By the time I get to Korea and with the 14 hour time difference it will be 6:30pm Wednesday... I can only imagine the jet lag I'll experience. I get picked up from the airport by a worker at the school, but that's about as far as I know of what happens when I get there. I'm excited to meet the children I'll be teaching, I bought lots of stickers from target that say things like "Good Job" "Excellent" that sort of stuff for them, and Liz, another manager at the waterpark gave me some too and some name tags for the kids (thank you!). I obviously won't be able to get anything like that in Korea, and since I'm teaching English I think it's fitting to acknowledge the kid's greatness with english words. I'm positive this year will FLY by, but who knows what will have changed here when I come back! Molly will have been moved out for a year almost, Ryan will be done with even more school, and Mom and Dad will be continuing their work on the house (just don't turn my room into anything yet, remember I'm moving home when I'm done!) I hope I can update this often so everyone can see what I'm doing, but I would love to hear from everyone too, so please don't hesitate to email me. I'll write again when I get settled into my apartment and have internet!
Goodbye MN and it's wonderful residents whom I call family and friends :)
Love, Meghan
