I have definitely fallen behind on posting! Much has happened this semester. A brief recap and I'll try to post again in the next two weeks.
Being back at Doane has had both its ups and downs. In some ways things are seemingly much easier, since I usually know who to see about a problem or where to go or how to behave myself in different situations, but in other ways it is difficult because teaching styles here are much different than those to which I have been exposed for the past year, many of the people I knew are no longer here and I broadened my world-view which makes it difficult sometimes for others to see where I am coming from.
I've been working on getting back into running track after being quite out of shape at the beginning of indoor season. Indoor season has now come to a close. I only competed once in the 5k and achieved a disappointing time. Our men's and women's teams both won the conference championship and it was fun to watch them compete. Now indoor season in over and the first outdoor season meet will be in a few weeks.
I started out volunteering with Adult English as a Foreign Language classes again as I had done before I left to study abroad. After one teacher resigned, I ended up taking over her class. They are all wonderful students and I love working with them. They are enthusiastic about learning English and I always end the day in high spirits.
I'm leaving for South Korea in 2 days. I'll be there for about 1.5 weeks to get a taste of the country's language, culture and history. It's almost time for take off...ready or not, here I go!
