Done with Graduate School! 대학원 끝!

July 27, 2016July 27, 2016 ninjamoni 3 Comments

I am so happy and excited to announce that I am done with graduate school! I did it. I finished my Master’s program. No more homework, staying up late to finish papers, and no more deadlines! I am a free woman. I completed my degree online through Troy University, and I loved my experience. My […]

Making friends in Korea (finally!)

October 10, 2015October 10, 2015 ninjamoni 5 Comments

I am reading a book called The Gifts of Imperfection by Brene Brown about vulnerability, shame, and how to be one’s authentic self (I intend to write a review of it soon, so stay tuned) and I can’t help but think God always puts the right book in my hands at the right time. At work, I’ve […]

Those pesky goals…

September 29, 2015September 29, 2015 ninjamoni 1 Comment

At the beginning of this year, I was optimistic that my whole life would change for the better in the course of 12 months. I would move to Korea, get out of my long-distance relationship and start a “real” one where my fiancé and I could go on dates to exciting places on the weekends. […]

New girl on the block, and in the office…

September 15, 2015September 15, 2015 ninjamoni 14 Comments

So Korea has been really great so far, but the biggest challenges in my life right now are adjusting to a new job and adjusting to living with my fiancé. It’s doubly hard because I come home from work exhausted and in need of a break from the newness of it all, to find that […]

August 18, 2015August 18, 2015 ninjamoni 2 Comments

Finally! I can sit down and blog! This past week has been a roller coaster, but things are slowing down for now. I am currently in my new home in South Korea, and I’m taking advantage of my time off before I start my new job and get into a routine to catch you guys […]

Expectations, Changes, and the Road Ahead

June 4, 2015June 4, 2015 ninjamoni 14 Comments

Confession: I struggle with insomnia. I consider myself a night owl, so when I get in bed and I’m not completely exhausted, my thoughts usually swirl in my head until the wee hours, making it impossible to sleep. Recently I had stomach pain that made it hard for me to fall asleep, and the next […]

Gone with the Cherry Blossoms

April 5, 2015April 5, 2015 ninjamoni Leave a comment

It’s my last day of Spring Break and I’m sad to see it go. I got a lot done and I’m excited for the new school year to start because I know some of my teachers will have moved around and I will have new students at elementary school and my elementary school students will […]

Exams and British Dramas

January 30, 2015January 30, 2015 ninjamoni Leave a comment

Perhaps you’ve noticed all the book reviews I’ve been posting. I am proud to say that I’ve kept up with my reading goals for this year. I did hit a snag this week, though. I started reading Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas and BLECH that book is terrible. I read so many good […]

Japanese, Korean, and books, oh my! (New Year’s Resolutions)

January 8, 2015January 8, 2015 ninjamoni 29 Comments

2015 is my year to read a ton! Not only that, but I have two resolutions to help me achieve my language goals. My reading goal this year is to read 40 books, and in July I am finally committing to retake to JLPT N1. When I was in Kyoto studying abroad, I was placed […]

My First Christmas in Korea

January 6, 2015January 6, 2015 ninjamoni 16 Comments

So I took a nice, long break from everything for a while, took a few days off work, packed my bags, and spent about two weeks in South Korea. Back in August, I took a trip to Korea as well, where Junkyu and I traveled to Seoul, went camping, met up with friends, and enjoyed […]

Instagram post 2095062163201957587_1203423373 Invested in a cat sofa/scratching pad and I’m so relieved because both of the cats are obsessed with it!! They both sleep on it and scratch it individually and they manage to squeeze onto it together for naps. And now they aren’t scratching my rug anymore! Win-win. Also, it’s adorable seeing cats on a “couch” as I sit on mine haha #cats #kitties #cat #catstagram #beast #penny
