Studying Overseas

Today I did a lot of thinking.. and I came with the idea of studying abroad for my last semester at SEMO. It didn't take much to figure out where I wanted to go. SOUTH KOREA! I went to see a few people and asked a bunch of questions regarding this whole ordeal. I met with a guy at the international center building and best believe he was informative! Here's how it all plays out:

1. The housing cost for the entire semester will be paid for through my football scholarship.
2. The cost of the flight will be to a minimum. $950 Flight - $850 (paid for through scholarship) = $100 flight!
3. Speaking & teaching English to Korean children will earn me $650/per month.
4. Being there for 6 months will guarantee me to be fluent in the language.
5. An experience of a lifetime that will end up being a pretty sweet deal.

I'm basically getting paid to visit and take college courses in a country that is very much foreign to me. My mother was born and raised in South Korea, moved to the US when she was 17 years old and is damn near a white woman now. LOL. I've never been there before and come Spring Semester of 2010, I'll be gone from January til about June. And when I get back, I'll be graduating from SEMO! It's all in the works.. hope it all goes as planned. =)
