I was originally an electrical engineering major my freshman year
and i went into absolute depression.
i would shut myself off from the world and just walked around like
a zombie and it was very horrible.
one day i just decided to sit up and sing again and i realized it was
the only thing that made me happy.
i've been classically training since i was 8 and singing was always
a major part of my life since the very start...
Hi. I am unsure of what you're agreeing with, but you're welcome to post on my profile anytime. Nothing to worry about. And it isn't spam to reply to someone. So that would have been fine.
Oh! Thank you!
It was really rough and I can definitely do better.
I have more clear recordings on my bandcamp.
It's linked on my profile.. I'm not sure if you heard them.
That's okay haha. My mom told me that sometimes when you have a degree it's used to check off that marker that you have one lol. Also that even though you're in one company you may change careers multiple times. I guess it's about just learning how to adapt.
I was thinking of possibly looking into translation/localization jobs lol. There's also some community involvement things. I'm not really sure at all haha. It's okay.
You could try volunteering locally doing something with ESL and/or working with kids to see if it's something you'd be interested in :3 It's a good way to get your feet wet.
You learn so much about yourself when you're out of your comfort zone lol. It doesn't have to be as extreme as out of the country, but even just doing something completely new haha.
I definitely recommend going out of your comfort zone!
What helped me when I studied abroad was that I learned a bit of the language for a few years beforehand. I still have a long way to go haha, but fortunately I've made some Korean friends that
I can talk to. One thing about traveling is that I hate the tourist traps hahaha. I love meeting new people though. Because I want to teach over there, I figured the best way to find out is to try volunteering doing it over here. The other fun thing is when you're sick trying to communicate that with the Dr. hahaha. Getting medicine that you don't have a clue about lol. Learning what new food allergies you might have. Then figuring out how to use every day appliances (washing machine, microwave etc.) I feel like when I went there I had to start over in a sense haha. It was a really eye opening experience.
Also what I'll have to learn next is their own work culture.
It feels like we both have the same feeling haha. My honey moon phase was a lot shorter than most people's lol.
omg Busan is where I want to go hahahaha. That's so amazing. I studied abroad in Suwon too which was a really amazing experience for me.
To be honest I haven't really been sure about what I've wanted to do. This opportunity kind of arose from my interest in South Korea, and I'm following it to see where it leads.
I haven't taught my first class alone yet! haha that's this coming Monday.
awh thank you so much! What I'm going to do is try to work on a daily routine of icing, stretching and strengthening the areas and hoping for the best haha. I think I'll have this no matter what happens, but
I'm gonna have to deal with it anyway right?
about a year and a half ago I studied abroad to South Korea, and I hurt my feet when we did this barefoot running for Taekwondo. I found out my pain wasn't going away and I had a fun time getting crutches (using Korean) hahahaha. but like it never went away. Apparently it's called plantar fasciitis, and I want to go back to South Korea to teach English ( I submit my application on February 1st). I'm so worried that my feet won't heal, and I also wonder if I'm cut out to teach English (I've been volunteering teaching ESL, and working with kids in Sunday school). I also lead my first ESL class by myself Monday LOL.
I've tried a lot of things to help my feet, butI'm thinking of starting again to try my best every day whatever it takes to try and get them better. It was so frustrating feeling so limited. I used to walk a lot, but after that it made it a bit difficult. I saw a doctor/specialist and they gave me some stretches lol. the first one gave me medicine that didn't work haha. It's so frustrating.
Hello! lol
ohhh I have some of those! Thank you!
Lately I like to go to that thread in the GCD called "I can't believe this is so inexpensive" or something like that haha.
