...and waiting...

Still waiting to hear from the recruiter.  I have to admit I am really nervous about this.  I think about things like it will be cool to live there, and the things I can do there and it will be fun and a good experience.  But when I really think of what it will be like to go into a classroom and be expected to teach it really makes me nervous.  I have taught before, but it was totally different from what I will be expected to do in Korea.  Most of the things I read about teaching in public schools are not positive, and I keep hearing how teachers are not given much training, and not really told what they should be doing other than "teach English."  I am just following through with this because I am hoping that either I end up in a good or at least tolerable situation or that the people who are complaining about their situation are too young and immature, or have some other problem that keeps them from getting along with their co workers.  I am worried I will end up in a bad situation and have a terrible experience.  I am not the kind of person that can go home from a bad day at work and have fun and forget it.  If the job sucks it will ruin my whole life there. 

But maybe I am getting ahead of things, I am still waiting to hear if I have a job...
