and there's a sad lady left behind. . . Today, I begin a journey that will span four continents (that all you will get to know for now). The last week of my life has been pretty good though -- humbling in some ways. . . I passed on the teaching torch to a wonderful young man, who I got to know over the last few weeks and can now consider a little brother to me. I have also been dating a wonderful little Korean lady, who smiles and smiles endlessly, which is something I am crazy about. A woman who can't keep smiling can't keep up with me.
The last few days of work were relatively easy, since the semester was ending this past week. The new semester started yesterday, and I was required to be at work, just to help Nick, my replacement out. Some of the little ones were so glad that I was sitting in and checking on his classes. He and I are so alike it's unreal at times. We're both workout junkies who love our protein and other various supplements. He's actually marrying one of my coworkers in December as well.
Miss Annie, my new lady and I have spent a lot of time together over the last week or too as well. Most of the time as been spent at home just talking, or walking around the Gongju area and having nice chats like couples should do sometimes (in my opinion). She was even nice enough to help me buy a travel backpack, which ended up being a late birthday gift from her. . . I hustled to the ATM to give her cash, and next thing I know, she's telling me in Korean not to give her any money, that it was a little birthday gift.
Anyway, I have to be on a plane in about ten minutes. . . . If you need to contact me over the next 5-6 weeks, use this blog, email me (jtower27@gmail.com), or skype me (john.s.tower).
when I get to the first stop along the way to my first destination I'll post some pictures of my one of my favorite groups of kids ever. . . . Be back on this thing in about four hours, I think.
