As you both that read my blog know (thanks for hanging in there with us) we’ve been offered jobs—well, they’re internships—here at BYU-Hawaii. We’ll both be teaching English 101 come Fall Semester. However, because we will no longer be students of BYUH, we have to find somewhere new to live…and we have. :) We’ve found an apartment—a studio, to be more exact. We’ve already begun packing away our books. Our bookshelf looks quite empty and pathetic haha. Now you may be wondering why our packing involves Priority Mail boxes (if you’ve ever moved from Hawaii, you’re not wondering so you can just skip this part). Well, first of all, it’s cheaper than trying to move it all ourselves (just pack all your incredibly heavy books in that $14 flat-rate box and presto!) and second our new place is a studio. There’s plenty of stuff we simply won’t have room for. Our third (and most important) reason for sending our things away (well not away, we’re sending them to Jake’s dad’s house) is that after teaching here, we’ll be in Pendleton for about a month and then we leave to Korea. We can’t take everything; in fact we plan on not taking most things. When we find out how long we’ll be in Korea (basically whether we’ll be there during Christmas of 2012—if the world is still alive that is) and when we know that, I can begin begging to take our Christmas stockings….or if we won’t be there, I can send them off knowing it won’t matter. :)
anyway, that’s what we’ve been up to: working on syllabi and packing up :)
