A much-needed update

Okay ... you may be wondering where I've been the past 2 months. Here's basically a summary of what's happened and what's going to happen soon, barring any problems.

After getting let go from my old job, I spent the next 2 weeks looking for a job. I finally found one in the southern part of South Korea in an English academy.

The trouble is, unlike my previous job where the use of Korean was forbidden, the fact that I know basically no Korean at all is a distinct disadvantage in this job, as the teachers are encouraged to use Korean in the classroom. However, aside from that and a few other problems (mainly this group of boys in one of my classes fist-fighting throughout the whole class as well as the fact that I get called fat, pregnant or ugly on a daily basis), things are going okay. I have a trip to Osaka planned in a few days, which will be a nice getaway despite the fact that I injured my leg; hopefully that'll heal at least enough that walking around Osaka won't be too painful.

So, basically, no, I'm not dead. ^_^
