On TV tonight there was some "tribute to troops" type of show, the last part of which featured a young man's extremely sentimental letter to his mother, who stood in a traditional Korean outfit on stage while the letter was read out loud by the host. After the letter-reading, the host asked the mother to call out her son's name, whereupon a tall young man hopped up on the stage and enfolded his mother in a hug while they both cried.

After that, a popular female singer wearing a light blue blazer, a slightly-above-the-knee blue skirt, and black and white pumps sang, while hundreds of young male soldiers sat quietly in the auditorium. The first couple rows of soldiers waved pink and light blue balloons back and forth in time with the song.

Am currently alternating between stressing about finding a new parttime job and thinking, "Hmm, maybe I should just not work for the rest of my time in Korea..." Sent a feeler out to the Kaplan office here -- maybe they need an LSAT instructor. Ulch. I actually enjoyed teaching the one LSAT class I did for Kaplan in DC a couple years ago; the subject matter left something to be desired, but I ended each class feeling energized.

I do need to decide what I want to do with the remaining months here; the current term of school ends at the end of March, and then what? Take the last level of language school? Work a fulltime job? Work parttime and loll around for the rest of the day? Spend a couple months in China? Travel around Korea? Travel around Asia? Hm.
