Finally, one of the most difficult years of my life is over! Here's to a new year full of adventure surprises, and new difficulties which I can turn into adventures! What's your resolution?
My resolution is to fight back next time someone tries to take advantage of me. It happens often, and the old me almost begged for it, but now I've realized that it's one of the major contributors to how much I hate my life. So, this year if someone asks for an outrageous favor they will get a "no". Along with that New Year's resolution comes my ever-present commitment to making the lives of those around me just a little bit better in any way I can; so balancing the two in a less self-destructive yet equally productive way should be an interesting feat to say the least! Basically, I love making people happy but this year I resolve to make other people happy in a way that doesn't make me unhappy anymore. This way, this year with all its changes will not have the same pain as the last 20. I am my own bodyguard now :)
On March 26, 2009, I left my life in America and moved to South Korea. I put my worldly possessions into two suitcases and a backpack and got on a plane. On December 8, 2012, I returned not to my hometown of Detroit, but to Silicon Valley, California, where I married an Indian engineer. In 2020, I divorced and moved to southern California. In this blog are my successes, failures, and observations of life in different cultures.

TESOL Certification Course Registration
I registered for my Oxford Seminar TESOL certification course the other day. By mid-February, I'll have my English teaching certification s I can earn money in Korea while I'm in school.
I've also been looking into which Yonsei University courses can transfer to MSU and it looks like with online courses, a lot of begging and bending the rules, and Yonsei courses, I should be able to get a degree without starting over :) I'll know in Janaury.
