Change is Inevitable

It's late. Really late. It's that kind of night when it's too quiet and nothing can quite soothe me into the right frame of mind for sleep.  It may have something to do with watching a scary CSI episode before bed.  It may have something to do with the past few weeks being full of changes to my current employment situation.  It may have something to do with eagerly anticipating my arrival back to America in less than a month.  It may also be a combination of all of the above.  When I can't sleep, I write.  Some people clean.  Some people paint.  I write.  I realized in college that it helps to soothe me.  Helps me to figure out what's really keeping me awake.  

The past few weeks have been full of changes.  Leaving the beautiful beaches of Thailand to the snow of Korea was certainly a change.  An unwelcome one to say the least.  My lovely co-worker Heather will be leaving good ol' Kids College at the end of this week for greener pastures as well.  To spare everyone the long drawn out explanation as to WHY she is leaving and I am staying, let's leave it at "personal reasons."  I will leave it at that and just let your imaginations go to work.  I'm sure you can all think up a much more intriguing reason than the actual one.  Go ahead.  You know you want to.

So, Kids College is back to 3 teachers.  I now get to work with Lia and Brendan, along with the rest of our Korean staff.  They are Pohang's newest additions and have fit in quite nicely to the mix.  Thankfully we all seem to get along well and seem to have alot in common.  Lia is very active and is up for Hot Yoga and time at the gym.  Just the workout buddy I need to get my fat, lazy butt out of bed and back to the treadmill.  As for Brendan, he has just exactly the right amount of sarcasm that I require in a friend and coworker so he will do nicely.  Kids College is lucky to have them and I am excited to see what the next year will bring.  And no, I did not just say these nice things about them because they occasionally read my blog.  I actually mean them.

Back to things changing.  I used to fear change.  It used to scare the hell out of me.  That fear went out the window when I got on that first flight to Korea.  Now, I have realized that change is inevitable and expected.  Without change, nothing can move forward.

That's all for tonight.  One last quote to leave you with that is my favorite when referring to the topic of this blog.

"Change is the only constant."
