June Update: Blog Makeover
It's June!
I've now been in Korea for 8 months and 7 days. Teaching here has been everything I'd hoped and more. I find my job rewarding and I am ever enthused by endeavors of language learning and understanding a new culture.
These days I've been very focused on improving different areas of my life so that I can maximize the time in my day and the potential for living a life of ministry. Some major steps I have taken to do this are: reworking my budget, sticking to a routine, and waking up earlier. Today marked a new milestone in my life... I woke up at 6:00 am naturally, without my alarm! Of course, I had to go to bed at 10:00 pm in order to accomplish this, but I am extremely happy since I have continually struggled to rise early in the morning. My reason for wanting to do this is that I have found I am quite productive in the mornings, while in the evenings after work I am simply exhausted and not motivated in the least. So what ends up happening is in the evenings I waste time on Facebook rather than doing something like reading a book or studying Korean.
My latest project, as you can see, has been giving my blog a makeover. I have more plans for developing it in the future. I hope that this can be a place for friends and family to track with me while I am here on the other side of the world, but I also eventually want it to be a resource for others considering teaching and ministering abroad. One new thing I have added is the "Fiction" tab near the top of this blog. Shortly after beginning to read it, you will see that it is actually a fictionalized (in most cases accurate, but sometimes embellished) story of my adventures here in Korea. One day, if anything of interest comes of the stories, I may consider turning them into a book. I plan to release these "episodes" of my daily life on a regular basis. Please let me know if you like what you see!
Much Love,
Eden
