More details,

as I have them, & as requested. Never in my life did I think I'd be accused of shirking on providing sufficient detail, pedant that I am, but yet again, my brother, who no doubt reads my blog so carefully more to mock and needle me when I leave stuff out rather than any frathernal concern (kidding!), has clarified from my last post that he is indeed accusing me of leaving important shit out.

So, my school found a replacement for me, her name is Marcianna, she is a Canadian of Jamaican descent (which appears to be important information, hence I'm passing it along to all of you). Marcianna lands this Tuesday, the 14th, at 5:00 AM and will go directly to the school. She'll be staying at some tiny place across the street from it. I will begin training her on Tuesday, and presumably (though have to confirm with Hetty) that I will finish training her on Friday, the 17th, which, as it happens, is the official 3-months-to-the-day I gave my notice.

On Saturday morning, the 18th, I will move out and be homeless for around a week. I am hoping I can stay with my friend Danielle, particularly because we haven't seen each other in a few weeks, and my other friend, Danielle's daughter Leah, would be excited about the extra opportunity to try to freeze me.

I packed up my blue suitcase... now if ONLY I had a vacuum for those big vacuum bags! Here's hoping I locate one.

Yesterday I decided, very last-minute, to head to Busan the following Sunday, the 19th, and have a touristy, relaxing time outside of Seoul and its environs. On Thursday I'll go to Seoul and check into a ridiculously cute apartment-type place until I guess the following Monday, the 27th, when I will begin training with Ashling at my new school, which is in the Seoul suburb of Anyang, believe it or not, rather than Seoul proper. This means I'm still only about 45 minutes from Itaewon & other popular places on the subway, but get THIS: only about a 25 minute bus ride (depending on traffic) to Budang/Suwon, meaning I can still make it to Friday night yoga pants wine night!!

Once Ashling is finished about 1 July, I'll move into my new, ridiculously spacious home!! Let us contrast my old with my new.

Current place

New place, view in bedroom. 

Old place bathroom. This contains the entire dimensions of the bathroom.

New place, entry way

Old place: from bed to end, door is on the left.

And for this, I have no equivalent, because this is a loft apartment!!!

No more fighting for space between the drying rack and the kitchen when I work out!!

As for other clarification, yes, I'm still seeing Aaron. I thought things had just drifted off to an end, but he suddenly kept saying hi, and as I've mentioned, my options are limited, at all times, but particularly here in Korea. So until something better comes along/one of us leaves, I think we both know we could never be serious about each other, but we're both nice company for the other, he ensures I watch movies which I never do on my own, he gets exposure to intelligence and reason, Trump supporter (*SHUDDER*, horror) that he is.

Ok. I THINK that covers it all. Yes? All clear now? More details, almost certainly stressing and bitching, rejoicing, etc. as they come up in the coming weeks.
