Good News

So, yeah. Moving to Mokpo in April would have come at a price. I would not have been able to come home to Canada. But, I just sort of shrugged and said, "Oh well...whatever." Having had a visit from my Mom in October, and just the fact that I am used to living away from my family meant that I wasn't all that shook up about not going home. Even when my Suncheon friends headed back to Canada during their vacations, I wasn't jealous. Sure, I would ask for a few special deliveries, but other than that.... I was okay with it.

Then, today, I got the news that I would probably be going to Mokpo in May, replacing my friend Chad. I wanted Chad's spot for many reasons, including his apartment, which is perched on the side of Mt Yudal with a view of the ocean (see picture). The workload will be a lot harder than the one I have now, but that's also a part of the attraction. Another advantage, I get to come home to Canada for a bit. Did you hear that?

I AM COMING HOME AT THE END OF APRIL.

I didn't realize how much I missed Canada, until they told me that I could go home.
