See-Saw

There is some back-and-forth going on in my contract negotiation for this coming year. It may mean I am not staying any later than March, and if that's the case, I don't really have a back-up plan. Because the Korean law changed (once again!) in regards to work visas--specifically English teaching visas, I would need a good four months to get the stuff I need in order to get another job elsewhere in Korea. So that means I either suck it up and stay until next December, or leave in March. I was planning on staying for sure another year, and I was so happy about that, but then leaving in March kind of makes me feel weird. On the one hand, it would be a great chance to figure things out immediately, but on the other hand, I was hoping this year would be the "planning" year. So things are kind of up in the air, and we are waiting another day or so to hear the final decision on their behalf. Then the ball's in our court, and we may have a decision by tomorrow night or Thursday.
