Tomorrow, I'm heading to a 6-day/5-night EPIK training session in Daejeon! It's really an orientation, but since I missed the first one because of sickness, I'll finally be attending with only 7 months left in my contract! I'm excited to meet some new foreigners and see what their lives are like in other places than Tongyeong! Hopefully I'll have some pictures and stories to share when I get back!
And now, a picture to send you on your way! I had dinner with these girls' families last weekend and we had lots of fun playing rock-paper-scissors and other games! So cute!!!

Waygook.org
I've always been a huge fan of Dave's ESL site for resources when it comes to teaching English and living in Korea, but a couple of weeks ago, I was introduced to another site that is amazing for teachers in Korea.
If you're in Korea or thinking about going to Korea, http://waygook.org/ is a site that you should become familiar with. I think it's especially helpful for public school teachers, because there is a great index of ideas for teachers to use. There is lots of file sharing and discussion that is really great for English teachers!
Just wanted to share with my fellow English teachers in Korea!!

What Legacy Do You Want to Leave Behind?
Last week, as I was flipping through the lastest edition of the Wayland Baptist alumni magazine, Footprints, I couldn't help but reminisce about my old days at WBU.

Almost always, when I see an old friend from my days at Wayland and they're introducing me to someone else, it comes up that I was a sports fan at WBU. I guess I didn't realize it at the time, but sports did take up a lot of my time during my four years in Plainview. Most of my memories when I look back have something to do with working at an athletic event, hanging out with someone involved in the sports world, or traveling to a game.



And here I am today, halfway around the world and thinking of the 'old' days. I could have chosen one of many different paths when I became a student at Wayland, and because of the one I did choose, I can surely say that I'm happy I did so. I made wonderful memories, and more importantly, I made amazing friends.
So when people ask me what kind of legacy I left at Wayland, I'll proudly say I was a sports fan...and a darn good one!
