So, I decided to teach English in South Korea! After many hours of on-line research, I pick a recruiting agency and have my first phone interview on Friday.
Why did I decide to teach English in Korea? I decided that I needed a 'Plan B' in case I didn't get into graduate school. When the application deadlines approached, I realized that I wasn't ready...rather my application wasn't quite there yet. As a transfer student, I barely got to know my professors after one year. It seemed unlikely that they knew me well enough to give me a good letter of recommendation. I also 'tanked' my GRE and my writing sample is still in the rough draft stage. So my 'Plan B' became my 'Plan A' in a matter of 2 months. But I grew more excited as I did my research. Not only do I get to re-discover my Korean heritage, but the schools actually pay really well. So my graduate school plans will wait, at least another year.
I'm sure there will be many ups and downs, but I'm sure it will change my life.
