Changing minds.
Constantly, I change plans. Last year I was planning to do my master's in Seoul. Then this year I planned to do it in Paris. Now I just changed my mind again and decided to do an English program in Korea. And then later go to Paris, hopefully?
It's difficult to explain and I still have to discuss it with my parents. I think they would understand but at the same time, I am scared they would be disappointed. They were really looking forward to my Paris experience. "My return to my French roots". And my grand parents were even more excited about it. I just have to think it through once more and than make a final decision, 'cause once I apply to that program, going back is somewhat irreversible. At the consulate they told me that if I cancel, it just... won't work out for the next time I want to do it. I'll think about it slowly, gather the information and then if I do it, run 100% into it.
It's a governmental program. Basically they send you to some remote place (I could even be sent to Jeju do, if I am unlucky) and you teach english to kids. 15 hours a week. The rest of the time, you can tour, learn Korean. Do stuff. lol The plane ticket is provided, the lodging also, and the pay is okay (1500$ month?). Week ends are free. There's a 14 day paid leave. 6days of sickness with doctor's note. Training provided. No experience required.
Not bad, really.
Yeah, I know, I said I'd do all my studying at once and then go back. But I think that once I get into the European system, going back to Asia won't be as easy. I don't know why, just a hunch? One year in Korea to improve my Korean and hopefully save some money, then I'll go to France do my master's. And then who knows.
That's the plan, but I am just unsure whether I'll go on with it, or change back.
Haha. So indecisive.
