what keeps me going

As I sit in an office where a teacher's meeting is in progress, which is completely in Korean, I start to think about "what keeps me going" in Korea. This is not to say that Korea isn't an experience I have cherished thus far, but any sort of change in ones life can have its challenges. I think it's good to be real. You know what I mean?

1. trying to apprecite as much of Korean culture as I can, some of the cultural habits can be a bit hard to fathom. It's one of those "tilt your head and wonder why" moments.
2. seeing the different cities Korea has to offer. Travel here is so cheap... why not just jump on the train and go on an adventure?
3. enjoy every moment as a teacher. Most of my time in Korea is spent teaching, so why not put my every efort into it.
4. contemplating the meaning of "Lynn's life". What should I do when I decide to enter the real world?
5. regular Skype dates with my friends and family in South Africa (Dave Wright is currently in pole position with the amount of Skypes and online chatting)
6. my amazing chingus (friends) - pronounced chingoos - here in Korea. Lifelong bonds have formed already. I just know it.
7. and lastly God's sovereignty in my life and knowing that life happens acording to His plan and infinite wisdom. It's such a blessing and it gives me a huge amount of assurity and peace.

a start = a video tutorial

Hello blogging world!

This is a wierd feeling to think that someone out there is reading this. The time has some to document my travels. I think that this may be the start of many a blog in the days, weeks, months and years to come.

I am so incredibly bad at this whole thing that I had to watch a video tutorial on how to create this. I have had a Blogger account for a while now, but did not know how to start blogging. I am an amatuer of note, so please do forgive me. Blogging has become such a craze and it kicks Facebooks butt in my opinion... so I had to jump on the band wagon.

I know the title of this blog is really yawn-able, but I plan on keeping this for a while. My experiences in Korea will not be the only subject matter.

I hope that this will provide for happy reading and I hope that my mom and Odette won't be the only ones to read this. Odette Bester... you are my blogging inspiration!
