E-MAIL FROM TODD...
hey kimiko,
i hope your semester is going well. my experience in korea so far has been very full. i've only been here for three weeks, but i feel like it's been three months. i think it's a combination of the lack of sleep, the constant dynamic schedule, settling down, trying to navigate a foreign country, ... it's definitely been fun, though, and interesting. the koreans i'm working with are very excited that i write, and hope to read my writing when i told them i planned on featuring korea in my fiction now. but [the teaching] has been an interesting experience so far. though there is talk of korea being more selective in their applicants and wanting mostly people who have taught before, i think that that goal is a far way off for now. ... and korea is desperately looking for people to teach their children, so anyone in the Queens College MFA program who is interested should definitely look into it. ... thanks to all to helped get me here.
todd
