dear mom and dad,
yesterday i got your envelope with the comics, stickers and magazines (spin, new african, heart&soul, star, jet), thanks so much for sending them. :)

work is going well as always. i only work 4 days a week, did i tell you? i think about leaving my company and working elsewhere; cdi is the only esl job that doesnt give benefits like free rent, health insurance, severance pay, paid holidays... but i only have a 4 day work week! im so in love with the schedule, i may never leave. Plus, it's only 6 hours a day. every other teacher i know outside of cdi work 7-9 hours a day. things are too cush where i am to leave now. not saying at all that my job is easy, but after getting into the groove of things, it goes so smoothly. we're in week 7, halfway through the term already.

oh, about mary lovelady: i did write her, told her where specifically i lived and asked if there were certain things in korea she'd want to see, i would try to arrange an itinerary or help find a tour group. she didnt respond. it's ok, she's one of the busiest people i know, and i will be here for quite a while, so she's got plenty of time to respond/visit.

i dont have much else to say... the weather is slowly cooling, and i feel winter coming, which is filling me w/anxiety. but ive done two winters here now, i'll survive this one. i have my long johns, ear muffs, charger scarf, and the ugly sweaters you gave me :)
