A New Chapter

Well, my life in Korea just got considerably more complicated. It is in the best possible way, so i am not upset. This week marks the beginning of my pursuit of my Master's degree. I am working through Liberty University in Lynchberg, VA. Also, I have just finalized all of my plans for China during my vacation in September for Chuseok. Chuseok is like a Korean version of Thanksgiving. I have almost a full week off from work. Jack and I decided to go to Bejing for the week. Along with Chaos of traveling out of the country and school beginning, I am also about to have an influx of visitors to Korea. We have two new teachers arriving in early September. They are not only new to our school, but will also be helping at our church services. I am so excited to have them arrive.

Also, the following week my husbands best friend Jonathan will be arriving from Florida. He is a staying for around two weeks. During his visit he will also accompany us to China. I am really excited to see him and get some news from home. Also it is always nice to have someone to talk to to who understands what you are saying. Overall, the next few weeks are going to be fairly overwhelming.

I think I am up to the challenge. Well, I hope I am. Today I began looking over my class assignments and I almost had a heart attack. It is going to be a long eight weeks. The thing that scares me is not the work. It is the little sentence at the end of each of the assignment descriptions. It says use 3-5 additional resources. Well as you know, there aren't exactly an overflow of theological studies book written in English in my city. I am hoping to download Logos (software biblical library) as a secondary option, but hopefully it will be enough to settle my worries and help me get through the course without a real library.I know my professors in my undergrad didn't like it. Hopefully, my new teachers will be a bit more understanding. :)
