so to give u an update of my life...
i told my company i will no longer be working for their workaholic ass....woohooh! the past 8 months working for an ad agency was an experience... i've always had this fantasy about advertising companies... but despite the fabulous exterior, the underlying interior is somewhat of a disappointment...(maybe it's just Korea?)... anyhow... the past few weeks have been hellish.. been coming home at 2a.m., or 3a.m.... 2 hours of sleep... no weekends (yes..went to the office even on weekends!) ....and i became tired, exhausted, sick of work, sick, depressed, had no time for friends or myself... i didn't know what i was doing!! my physical state was deteriorating... i was sick all the time.. unhappy.. and for what?? i really didn't see what i was getting out of working at the agency! some say.."for the experience...you're young"! "for the money.." (but they pay like crap compared to all the overtime we do)... but all the reasons didn't quite convince me... i mean... the ultimate goal of a corporation is to maximize profit... and i really didn't see the point.. i mean... i guess i'm NOT the overly ambitious type of person.. i'm just simple..down to earth.. happy with the little things... so yes... i am quitting... i don't think i'll be working for a corporation ever again... i think i'm going to jump into what i'll like.... u all ready for this?? ^_^
i think i want to teach... at a kindergarten! what do u thinK?? i've always wanted to open up an english kindergarten when i'm married and stuff... so i'm thinking of teaching at a kindergarten for experience... and study TESOL (a type of certificate to teach english as a second language)... i think i see the value in being able to be a part of children's education... and i think i'll be happy being around kids... did i tell u i taught 4 years old kids at a kindergarten in year 2002? anyhow... it was fun... they were cute... so tell me what u all think... i mean am i making the right choice?? did i do the right thing by quitting my job??? some people may think..."gosh she has a masters and she's gonna teach at a kindergarten?" but who cares what people think right?? it's the right thing to follow my dreams ??

No doubt Minky, go for it.
Off course people are going to talk but they are not the ones who have to live your life.
And you need to think about what you want, if you want allot of money and be the head of a marketing company one day and maximise profits, then yeah, keep working overtime and in the weekends. But if that doesn't make you happy then don't. Life is not worth it if you wake up in the morning and you dread going to work. Life is too short for that.
I think you should go for it. I can see teaching as being something very fullfilling. Something you can look forward to doing instead of sitting behind a computer to make some corporation allot of money. You will be able to directly affact people's lives.
let me just say one word in Japanese.
"Ganbaro"!!!
go for it minx, I can see you teaching kids. but I don't think you need a TESOL?? do you? you are a native speaker, still need it?? hm,,, I 've heard TESOL course in SookMyung Women's univ is quite well known.
anyway, my deary dearest firend,
GO FOR IT !!!!!!
Teaching kids,, is very rewarding.
hehehe thanx for all the support! yes i don't need a TESOL certificate to teach right now... but it's something i'll need when i open up my own kindergarten later on ^__^ teehee
so how are u sleepie! we need some updates from u!
