Failed Endeavors

Well, as always it seems I disappear and make a return at some point but never at a real up to date opportune time. My apologies.


Life is pretty busy especially in the fast lane of Korea. I tell you what for all the negative comments I write there are many positive points about living here. Its not up to me to judge the country, culture etc but rather just the implications, quests, promises, trials etc. that effect my life and at this moment my career path.


        Due to recent events I am thinking of changing my career. The economy is in shambles and things look grim in America but the truth is that its affecting everyone. Its why I am not working at YBM and at this moment why I am unemployed as well. I chose to walk away from this job but now I am in a pickle since I still have no promising job looming.


I was given a business ESL course in Jungang dong that has been taken away from me not once, not twice but thrice. I made the mistake of agreeing to their time changes, and then asking about the dates. As a result of my inability to guarantee a 6 month period they gave it to another teacher even though he is overbooked already.


Its out of my hands now but the truth is I was angry since I did all of the leg work. I bought a book, prepared for 4 days of class lesson plans and discussed it with my boss. It all fell through because of lack of communication and poor business techniques.


Moving on... YBM is my life in BUSAN now. I work there only on Saturdays and I will do a film class which may be the successful step in my teaching career and if not the definite last stop before I change my career. I am simply burned out and really ready to come home. I wish my wife could see that but 2012 is coming soon, right?


Tomorrow is Monday and all things said and done its a chance to start over. I will be awaiting my meetings and class which starts in 6 days!
