Living in a Universe City of Debt
Option 1: Continue bartending, d.j.ing and waitressing, relying on unpredictable amounts of money to pay the unforgiving debt mafia. Pros: It is easy, comfortable and I am surrounded by cute co-workers who also have University degrees. Cons: Often unnecessarily stressful, mean people suck, minimal self-evolution, eventual boredom.
Option 2: Get a job teaching in Toronto, find a part-time serving job and continue trying to get the OSAP monkey off my back.
Pros: Potentially rewarding work, proximity to good influences, close to mom. Cons: Overcrowded smelly classes, living in an expensive closet of an apartment, proximity to crime, barely able to cover cost of living and keep all my fingers.
Option 3: Get a job with the Korean government teaching English to Korean students. Pros: The uneasy excitement and pleasure of diving headfirst into the unknown. Potentially travel Asia and learn to appreciate a unique way of living. Free trip to South Korea and back, accomodations paid for, low-cost-of-living, make new friends, put a dent in the debt load. Cons: I'm sure I'll have a few cons to add to this list in about 45 days or so!

My fuji and electric lime suitcase await: AUGUST 30th I evaccuate...
Jennii is officially getting ready for Suwon, South Korea... the land of the morning calm, kimchi and potentially fabulous english teaching opportunties. Although I am fully aware that you have an exciting and busy life of your own; I invite you to check up on me once in while and share in my experiences.

I am truly excited about my upcoming adventure, aware that it will be a lot of change all at once. Convinced that I will survive, and win some won to pay off my O$AP- I climb aboard Korean Airlines armed with plenty of deoderant, an ability to adapt and a contagious smile.
