dear mom and dad,

i woke up at 3am again today, *puh* it's friday evening and training is now over. we do a test and mock teaching tomorrow for evaluation. i've actually ALREADY signed a contract, a few of us have, despite not having been evaluated yet. i found out i am to be at the Pyongchon Branch. I dont know anything about it, i know it's about 40 min from where i am right now according to the guy who gave me the assignment.

we get next week as free time and then we get intot he classroom the week after. the school will pay for all of us new teachers to stay in the hotel until we find a permanent place, and actually they'll hook us up with a realtor as well if we want. i've gotten rather used to this area and know my way around a bit, the hotel really is nice: tv, internet, nice soft sheets, big bathroom; but i do look forward to having my own space so i can unpack and settle and everything.

im thinking about getting a cat... two cats, so that they can keep each other company. i miss you, mom, of course, but i really miss my cats too *teardrop*

i got an email from kanisha and she is now an auntie! her sister had a little boy and nisha completely adores her nephew. mom, i'm going to tell her that she should bring the baby by the house to visit you, since your own daughter hasnt given you any grandchildren yet! :)
