ECSTATIC

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

I just had my phone interview, and it went AWESOME. I spoke with a lovely girl named Jennifer, and she asked me some questions, and it was all over in less than 10 minutes. She sent my info off to the job hunting folks, and they'll contact me in May with a possible position. I. Am. So. SO. EXCITED.

She said that I made their job super easy. Why? Well, for starters, I don't really care where I get placed, whether in a small, quiet town or a huge, sprawling city. Either way, I'll have an amazing adventure - I'll just leave that up to fate, as it were. Secondly, I said I'd be free to go in September. She said that if I'd be up to leaving in August, that would open up many public school positions, as well as positions in hagwons*. So basically, I don't care where I live, and I'm leaving at the perfect time. Apparently, this means I am a perfect candidate**.

This means I will probably be leaving the country in August, 2009.

BAHHHHH SO EXCITINGGGGG :D

Since May's still a really long ways off (unfortunately), I won't be updating this as often. Well I might. I don't know. I may just write about interesting stuff pertaining to Korea. Yeah. That's what I'll do.

Annnnnnnd end babble. Babblebabblebabble.

*Hagwon: a private insitution where Korean parents send their kids to learn more English after public school is over for the day. Kind of like sending your kid to extra dance classes if you want them to grow up to be a ballerina.
**Okay, she didn't actually say precisely that, but that's what I gathered from the conversation.

NOTE: The following exchange took place...
Jennifer: What got you interested in teaching in South Korea?
Sarah: Well, I, uh... actually started watching...Korean...dramas....
J:...AHAHAHAHAHA
S:...
J: *cough* Haha...hahaha... I'm just laughing because so many people get hooked on those once they get over to South Korea, and here you're watching them already. A lot of my friends watch them. You'll fit right in!
S:....hahahahaha
