It's hard to believe. I've been in Korea for almost 3 months now. Sometimes it feels longer, sometimes shorter. I decided it was time I set up a blog for people to peek at my "new" life every once in a while. Life isn't exactly isolated over here but I do feel an absence of many people I've known over the past years so to stuff those holes, I decided I'd get connected again. I know, not the most interactive means but this'll do for now. I hope you enjoy my random entries as I try to dissect my encounters in Korea.

Most of you know that my move to Korea was quite unexpected. My plans, oh for sure, were to pursue a doctoral program in clinical psychology. I thought this was my calling in life. My ultimate passion. Little did I know. The doors completely shut on me and to tell it honestly, it sort of left a big red mark on my face after the slap. I guess we all learn at some point that our lives can never really be planned out, at least in the way we think. God had a different stroke for me. And here I am, in Korea now, trying to figure him out. Trying to figure myself out. And so much more.

So as I ramble on about my many musings I hope you will observe, no not just observe, but take part, in the formation of this person we call Soyon. The length of my time in this motherland is indefinite, but I cannot state clearly where I will be a year from now. For now, I am learning the art of teaching little Korean kids (elementary to middle school) how to digest and throw back up the English language everyone in their mother wants to perfect! It's a challenge, this teaching thing, but I have had many rewarding days that have kept me going. With a lot of free time on hand, I am also able to do the things I love such as playing piano and making art. I have also found a church that is becoming an unexpected and much-needed haven for me during this transition.
Unfortunately this is not my baby.
More details to come...stay tuned:)
