and just like that, our orientation is done. tomorrow, we get on buses and go to our cities. we meet our co-teachers, see our apartments (FINALLY), and visit our schools. here is where the rubber hits the road, and i am so ready. i am excited to get out there and experience korea. to start living my life here and to start teaching. the orientation has been awesome and necessary, but there's still so much unknown, and the only way to get answers is to start trying.
tonight was our closing ceremony. EPIK brought in the most massively long buffet that i have ever seen in my life. there was so much delicious food. then, there was a talent show (our class sang "Stand by Me" in 3 different languages) full of dancing and goofing off. afterwards, a handful of us went out to a seedy little bar full of paper lanterns and ordered pitchers of kiwi soju. sitting around chatting and laughing, i started to feel really comfortable. looking around the table at all the fascinating new personalities, i felt like the potential for adventures and friendships to develop and grow in gwangju is great, and i'm looking forward to how it all will pan out. off to sleep now, big day tomorrow!
