Updates

Wow!  It's been over 7 years since the last time I made a post. I should probably give some updates. I have been living in Korea for almost 6 years now. I have lived in several different places, but I now currently live in Seoul. I actually forgot that I had this blog. today I was going through my Google+ (which I also do not use) and stumbled upon my old blog. After reading through the post that I did have, I decided that I wanted to revamp my page. There are many things that I am active in now and would like to share my experiences.  Seven years is a long time to be away, and a lot has happened to me during that time. I want to share my experiences with everyone good and bad. I have worked in various public schools and hagwons and would also like to talk about my experience from both sides. Last year, I started spending a lot of time working on my health. That includes working out and my diet. I am also taking the steps towards getting my F visa. I want to live and work here an

Great News!!!!!

It has been a long time. I am having a hard time with writing everyday. I am super sorry about that. I have be super busy with working two jobs, and I have a new thing that I am working on. I have not been writing because there was not much going on just work and paper work. Let me stop with the boring stuff and announce the big news I have for everyone. In August I will be moving to South Korea!!!!! I am soo excited . I have been talking about wanting to learn Korean, and working two jobs just to pay to move out there. I am super happy that it is finally happening !!! ^_^ I want to talk about who I went through and what I had to do, but I feel like that should have it's own post. I will write about everything you need in my next post. I think that sometime this week it will come out. Lately, I have been really busy downsizing my room and getting the items I should pack together. I need to get back to work on learning Korean, so far I can say a few words and read some things but

It has been a long time

Hey everyone!! I am sorry I have not added new post I have been super busy. Let me update you guys on my activities. In January I decided to apply for Teach for America. I know that I said that I was going to go overseas, but I wanted to try to take a detour. I thought that It would be a way to do something different, and I could still go overseas, when I finished my contract. I was really excited, and was hoping that things worked out. I ended up getting the call interview, but end the end  did not make it to the final interview. I know some of you may think that is really sad, but I am okay now. Do not get me wrong I was frustrated that they did not invite me to the final interview, but I am a strong believer that things happen for a reason. I believe that the reason it did not work out was because, I still wanted to teach and work overseas. So what  did was I filled out an application to work overseas, and today I was contacted about an interview. I am supper excited!!!!!! ^_^ 

Wow! It has been a while!

Hello guys! It has been a while, I apologize. I have been busy with work and just recently, I decided to start studying for Praxis I. I feel like I need to start getting certified. I have my masters but not my certification, so I think it is the time to start getting that done. I am not going to take the test until December though. Overall I love my job. I do have kids that I want to strangle, but for the most part my kids are pretty good. I am currently looking for a second job so I can start saving money for when I go overseas. I has been a little hard because, I still pay bills and about half of my check goes towards that, and I have other things I need to pay for. I am not going to worry about it, because I will find the second job it is going to take time. I already have a full time job, just need a part- time job for after work. Good news! If you have seen my older pics for my hair when I cut it back in march, you can see it has gotten a lot longer. When straighten my hair

Having Natural Hair

Well I guess I plan to talk about my transition from perm to natural hair. First off I did the transition, I refused to do the big chop! I spent the all of 2011 cutting perm out little by little. When I had finished my basketball season in March 2012 I cut the rest of it out. The problem that I had in the beginning was rocking my natural hair. I spent the beginning of my transition straightening  my hair out. I played ball that whole year so that took a toll on my hair, because of the sweat, and again I kept straightening it out because I did not want my hair frizzy and puffy all the time. I would say that whole year was an experiment year. I say that because I made a lot of mistakes. The biggest would be all the heat I had put to my hair, causing split ends. I used some products that did not help my hair and example BB hair oil, this ended up clogged my pores, and broke my hair off. Through all the trail and error I would say things have been better. I now do wash an go's

Hello! :)

Hey y'all! I am just in a really good mood. I love what I do at school and the kids I work with. I decided to take this year to work and learn before I try to go overseas to teach, and overall it was a good decision. Many of the teachers I worked with have been very nice, and have given me good advice for when I start teaching. Other things that are going on is, I have three different blogs, and I am thinking of just adding them all to this on since, I get more views here than on my others. I finally received my degree in the mail this week!! I am so excited!! ^_^ I still have not done student teaching or taking the PRAXIS, but I do plan to get that done this winter. There has been so much going on, and I have been really busy. I is not a bad thing though, I rather be busy than bored lol. I plan to keep this short so if there is anything you want to know or ask just leave a comment, and I will reply back.  Living Life, Taking Chances  Sabrina Johnson <3
