The Things I Have Learned in Korea!

I have learned a few things in my week here in Korea, here they are...

1.  Korea is very cute (they wrapped a bow around my pizza box)!
2.  I will most likely offend someone here very soon...they have very different ways and traditions!
3.  I apparently am not from America, because I do not look, act, or talk like an American.
4.  No one knows where I am really from, and it's really starting to confuse me.
5.  I know a few words in Korean (hello, thank you, and idiot are down pat!  They are all useful words!)
6.  Wilson is a very fun name for my co-teachers to say, they are absolutely loving it and I don't think I have a first name anymore!
7.  I am in love with South African accents....I should probably live there so I can hear it all the time!
8.  There is a soccer team in my city, which I am very excited for!
9.  Korean people are some of the nicest/sweetest people I have ever met.
10.  I am terrible at attempting to speak Korean.  I really need to start working on that or I am going to be lost this year!

Where I am now....

Well I have officially been back in the USA for a year and a half now.  Back in my small town home where I grew up and graduated from high school.  Back with my family and all my childhood friends.  It's not where I imagined I would be, but it's where I am, and I know it's the path I need to take to get where I want to go. I'm working on my masters in social work at the moment and will graduate in the summer of 2016.  That day can really not come soon enough! I've recently started up with selling my photos that I have taken along my travels so please feel free to take a look!!! society6.com/wanderingseoul

New Year

Well we are now about two weeks into the new year, and I must admit I am happy to be in a new year.  2013 was....well it was a damn roller coaster for me. It was amazing it was terrible. I laughed plenty and cried just as much. I took amazing trips with amazing friends, went home to my family and friends for the first time in a year.  2013 is a year that things changed for me. I stayed in Korea for a second year. One of my best friends had a baby and is now pregnant with her second little one. Two of my childhood friends got married to amazing people and I couldn't be happier for them. I also lost one of my best friends to a tragic motorcycle accident after she moved to Poland to be with her boyfriend. I've taken the next step towards my future and have started courses for my masters.  2014 is my year to takes steps outside of my box, for me to grow even more as a person and in my career. It's my year to leave my home and life that I've lived for e past two years and go...

Tis the Season

As I wrote in my last post Thanksgiving has come and gone.  Although, it was a depressing time because it is my favorite holiday, I still had a good Thanksgiving. It was nothing like any other Thanksgiving I have ever had before.  There was no big family meal, no little kids running around me, and no turkey.  I did however spend Thanksgiving and the entire weekend with some really great friends, which is what the holiday season is all about really.  Spending time with your friends and family, and here in Korea my friends have become my family. I also got to Skype with my family at home, so I got a little bit of the things that are the most important. Now it is the Christmas season and I'm very excited for it.  I do think that I will be a little depressed being away from the family, but we are already planning our Christmas day.  Many Koreans have Christmas yes, however it is not as big of a holiday here as it is at home.  I will only get Christm...
