As I've been thinking of going to graduate school for a long time, but didn't know which program/career I wanted to pursue. As of now, I'm going for a Speech Pathologist, which will a 2-3 year Masters program, depending on the school. And about a years worth of prerequisites classes I have to take. My Plan A, is to start taking online prereq classes in Fall 2009, be done with them in Spring 2010 and enter graduate school in 2011/12. And be in Korea through July 2011 (2.5 yr), so that I can pay off my school loans and pay for the prereq classes out of pocket.
I'm really comfortable with this plan, I'm still going to research more about Speech Pathology, so I know what its really like. But I think I'll go for it!

Lunch time, ohh Kim Bab! 김 밥
I'm on my lunch break, after two crazy kindergaden classes, and eatting Kim Bab (typical fast food lunch here :) ) and wishing that I had a Burrito! Its been about a month and half since I've had any type of real American food and I'm feeling healthier because of it. The food here is amazing, most every thing is freshly made with good ingredients. And no, I haven't run into any dog meat yet.
An average day at school so far as been a mixture of frustration of not being able to speak or ask how the kid's days are. (I guess thats what I need to learn next week :) ), joys when the kids use their new words, and laughter when the words are totally in the wront context. Like when a girl didn't have a pencil, she said , "Pencil Nobody". But at least she was using English and thats the main goal for 5 year olds. I can understand why people have a heart for young kids, they are so fresh and 'pure' but have a mind of their own. But they want to learn so much, its amazing.
Last night I meet Hyo-Jung, my korean teacher in Denver, for dinner. It was soo nice to see someone familair and talk about non-school topics. :) She came up for an interview at a company in Seoul, and I'm hoping that she can move up here. As she is living in Deagu right now with her parents, if she doesn't get this job she'll work for a english school. Which she said wasn't a good thing for a korean's resume, but a job is a job when your 24. I'm going to go to Busan with her next weekend, I'm excited to get out of the concrete Jungle of Seoul and on to the sunny beach of Busan.
