As many of you know, I was planning on moving to AU in less than a week. However, I decided making another big move was not feasible financially. Going with only 3k to Sydney which is hella expensive just wasn't going to work esp with those rent prices. I had applied to over 20+ jobs and no luck as you could only work for 6 months for one company on the visa I was going on. I just didn't really want to work minimum wage there when I could get a real job back home. I wasted quite a lot of money on the visa and flight, but in the long run I know I'm saving money.
I don't know how long I'll be back in GA. This non-profit I applied for in VA is hiring the same position and they wanted a phone interview with me prior to leaving, but I declined since I already signed a contract here in Korea. So I think I'm going to re-apply and see what happens.
This was not an easy decision. I've had a really tough three months in Korea. I had moved to this smaller city a month ago to substitute teach and to make extra $$$. The last four weeks have been very isolating and depressing. I haven't had much contact with non-Koreans and it's been a month of solitude for sure.
You know all of my college professors/friends/family told me NOT to go to S. Korea. I know looking back, they were obviously right since it didn't work out. However, do I regret coming? Not at all because I feel as though this was a life experience even though it was mostly negative. I still plan on applying for grad school Fall 2017 and will work these next months on applying and getting a job in the meantime.
lmao timster this guy I like wants to move to SoCal with me, but honestly I really don't like it. If I move, I'll move somewhere on the east coast like DC, Philly, NY, Boston, etc.
AND btw I tried In N Out in Cali and it was 100% overrated :S
