Mindy is doing better, for those who were concerned. She hasn't had any appetite for the past few days, so I bought her some special dog food tonight (chicken and rice). She loved it and had a nice dinner that she kept down. I was thrilled. She's having less diarrhea finally, so I figure after another day and a half of meds, she should be as good as new. As soon as she's over the diarrhea, I'm going to deep-clean this apartment!
I shouldn't be up this late, but I cannot sleep to save my life. It was a busy day, and I have a LOT on my mind. Most of it I don't care to share online, but the rest is all work-related. My nine kids that I've been grooming for the speech competitions are competing on Thursday, and I think I'm even more nervous than they are. I really want them to do well! I'm also really busy preparing two classes for their tests next week. I spent about an hour and a half today after school writing the oral test and only got half of it completed. Tomorrow, I need to finish it. I'm hoping to get it done in under an hour, but that's likely an impossible dream.
I managed to have a lengthy conversation with Angel, the Korean kindergarten teacher, today. This is notable, as she speaks barely any English. I was actually understanding a lot of Korean, which surprised both of us! I seem to pick up a new word or two every few days. At this rate, it will be interesting to see how much Korean I can pick up by March of '09 (when I leave to go home for a visit).
I'm finally admitting that I have no idea what exactly I'm going to do after my year is up. I would love to go to grad school, but I keep thinking about how much better of a living I can make here in Korea than back home. Who knows, I may wind up staying in Korea for a few more years. Or I may move back to the US and go back to Liberty (my alma mater). And I'm still not ruling out the rest of Asia or Europe either (although I have definitely ruled out South America). Whatever happens, I'm looking forward to it.
