The Teachers are Students as Well

Oh, two posts in one day...whoo hoo!

Ok, so while my first day of teaching isn't officially over, I have finished teaching my classes for the day. I had four classes to teach today, all third grade. It wasn't really that difficult at all, but there were still things I had to learn as the day went on. It's been interesting to see how different the classes act, based on their teacher instruction. One class that I taught today was amazingly well behaved. They were quiet when they needed to be, listened intently and followed direction from both me and their regular teacher. It was pretty awesome. The other classes were also good, but there was just a noticeable difference in the behavior of that one particular class.

Peace Like a River

I know that I have been horrible at updating this, but I promise to do  more in the future, especially since I am now in Anseong, S.Korea!!!

So I have a lot to catch up with, but can't really at the moment, because I am prepping for class. But I did want to put in a little tidbit about peace.

Yesterday was my first full day in Korea, and I spent the day at my school, meeting people and learning how the day runs. Shopping and other activites were also done (like a pretty expensive dr's appointment. ugh). All in all, I learned a lot of information over the course of the day.

Stuck

It really sucks being in that place, where you feel like you're not moving forward, yet you're not moving backwards either, you're stuck.

That's how I feel right now. The plan after the summer was to just spend a couple weeks at home, saying goodbyes and all that stuff, and head out for S.Korea. However, I've not been here for a month, and I still have no idea when I'm leaving. I hate this: being at home, not really having a job (cause I don't know when I'll be called out to leave), with no car, with all of my friends miles away, and just generally doing NOTHING.

Be Where They Are

Hello, my name is Pamela, and I'm a nomad.

I feel like this is a great way to introduce myself, not only to you, my internet audience but also to those I will meet in life. Let me explain:

In my 25 years of living, I've moved around, a lot. More than I would have liked to, but that was just the way that life has taken me. During my sophmore year at college, when I was meeting new people, one of my friends jokingly referred to me as a 'nomad.' We all laughed about it and it became this little phrase that I would use whenever someone asked me where I was from. I had no idea how true that description would be, of the life God has for me now, after university.
