Highlights from year 2

"I put together another highlight video on my YouTube channel. This one is focused on my second year living and working in Daejeon, South Korea."

The Four Stages of Culture Shock

"Last year, during my very first term at my hagwon, one of the lessons I taught was The Four Stages of Culture Shock. A handful of my students have lived abroad, or plan to live abroad in the near future, but the lesson almost felt like it was intended for me. After all, at that point I was only a handful of weeks into my first foray into life in South Korea. "

Round Two

"It has been a few months since I last posted on my blog. Sorry about that. I plan to post much more frequently. I have thousands of pictures to share and tons of stories to tell. Here are some noteworthy updates from my time away from the blog"

Blogging for money

"Last week, for the first time since I left the field of Journalism, I was paid money for writing."

Middle School Exams

"It's that special time of year again. The weather has warmed up, the cherry blossoms have come and gone, and the trees and plants are erupting in green leaves. That means its just about time for middle school exams."
