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!)
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…
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…
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 […]
Endings and Beginnings
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
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
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 […]
Casting on as an INFJ
I’ve probably never mentioned this on my blog, but I’m a knitter. I learned how to knit when I was about 16 and in high school. I was having a hard time at school, since I transferred to a magnet school and left all of my childhood friends behind, and by the time I could […]
Exams and British Dramas
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)
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 […]
