This past weekend was a very interesting one. I hadn't seen my coach in a week and a half and I had to further prolong our next meeting because of the wonderful amount of work that I had this weekend for English Camp. I am a tad bitter about that because due to miscommunication (or just lack of clear conveyance) I had to restructure the lesson plans twice. I spent 15 hours on the lesson plans and hardly did anything else that weekend. Bah. But whatever, it is done - and I think we have a good program for the camp. So that is exciting :)
About 2 weeks ago, I told my co teachers that I was looking for a Korean tutor who could teach me 5 days a week. I love my Korean tutor now, but once a week is not going to cut it for me; I need to start getting serious because I really do want to learn the language, so I need to start investing some serious time. Anyway one of my co teachers told me the other day that she found someone who wants to teach me! So she gave her my cell phone number, and we've texted and emailed a few times and decided to start on Monday! I'm so excited :) :)
I finally saw my coach on Tuesday, after a 2 week hiatus. I went to PNU ready to run (and scared because I hadn't run in almost 2 weeks because of my blisters), but Coach said that he just found out that he had to meet someone for dinner in an hour, so we just went to grab a cup of coffee. We were just catching up for a while, and then we started to talk about training over winter break. He has been planning a 4-day trip to Jeju in February for some quality bike training, and he told me that he was going to make the reservations soon. So he asked for my full name so that he could reserve a ticket for me, and then he tells me that he wants to pay for my plane ticket...!!! I don't know how or why I was given the blessing of meeting this man and being able to train with him and my wonderful team, but I am so incredibly thankful. I'm speechless on that matter.
Christmas in Korea has been a very interesting experience, but I have to save that for tomorrow. Merry Christmas everyone!!
