Maybe not exactly bigger or better. I am moving on though. Today was my last day at my current school. I have enjoyed working there and will miss it — a little bit. I will miss some of my students and co-workers. I won't miss the strange hours and complete lack of communication.

I was a bit disappointed that about half of my students were absent because of the coming holiday. Not too bothered, mind you. A couple of my students today were absolutely gutted when I told them at the end of class that I wouldn't see them after the holiday. Then I
had to explain that I rarely stay in one place very long. It's become a habit to make a big change every 8 or 10 months. They asked me if I had some secret that I was afraid people would find out about if i stayed in one place too long. I told them I'm running away but I wouldn't tell them from what. I have to remain mysterious.

I'm also a bit bummed that I never took any pictures with them. Then again, I'm not too bummed.

I'll be going to work at a Korean high school down town. It should be a bit more challenging. It will give me more reliable hours so that i can actually have a life apart from work. I won't have to work on Sunday! And the pay raise won't hurt at all.

I don't start at my new job until the 27th.

So here's to a long holiday!

I'm going to paint, write, play, photograph, read, and generally be a bum for 23 days.

(Oh, I also met a Pastor today. That's cool.)
