I signed the CDI independent contractor contract and I sent my documents through FedEx yesterday. Today, someone said that the going rate was at least 30,000 KrW an hour. I'll be paid 27,000 KrW an hour, and overtime will be the same pay. I honestly don't really know what I'm heading into, despite the amount of research I put into looking things up.
Things I Will Have To Do:
- Book a flight
- Get International Health Insurance for At Least 3 Months, if not an Entire Year
- Start Packing
I have almost over a month left. I should be leaving on August 23rd if everything goes well. I still don't know how to cook or do all the housework properly, but I'm hoping that I'll live okay after living with my cousin and his girlfriend for a bit. I'm still apprehensive over what state the apartment will be in, especially now that I found out it's the newcomer's duty to clean up, not the original person living in it.
At least I will be somewhat in Seoul, and will be connected through the subway. I will have to find my T-money card, but I thought I had it on the side of my desk or returned it for a refund back in Seoul.
They say that the branch I will be working at already have almost 20 people there, so I'm hoping to make friends. I still have to pass the week-long training first, and I'm scared that I'm going to fail it since Yuna said she wanted to quit during that week. I want to say that I will be able to handle it, but I haven't really been that amazing at handling things lately.
My grade for my last NYU class still hasn't come out. In June, they said it was done with, but now it's almost August, and they are still unsure about what is happening. Guess this is as Jucky said, when education gets monetized and everyone (mostly the students) suffer.
I've been thinking a lot about Judaism and the situation in the Middle East/Gaza/Palestine. I can't say I'm an expert on it, but I know that I have a bit of anti-Semitism around me. I don't know if it's clouding my thinking.
I want to learn all the different languages, I want to learn all the different programs, I want to learn about economics, and coding, and so much more. But I sit at my computer, sit at this desk, sit forever just waiting for something to happen.
