Yesterday a good day?

Yes. I’d say it was. I went over to Kirkland to try again to find frames for my glasses. I’d tried a couple times before but couldn’t find frames I was happy with. When I hadn’t been able to find what I wanted, I considered just ordering the same frames I have now...only I discovered the ones I have now have been discontinued.

Anyway, so I was in Kirkland for what would have been a third failed attempt, when serendipitously, a sales rep for a frames company made an overdue routine visit to my optometrist to show new frames that he had. Incidentally, he was familiar with the brand I had and thought he might have some frames that would be a good replacement.

Well, they were perfect. So I was glad I had taken a later bus over there than planned, otherwise I probably would have missed him.

When I got back to Seattle, I found that there was a school in Korea that wanted to interview me as soon as possible. I told my recruiter I’d talk to them today (what was then today) if they were willing. Two hours later the school called and we had our interview.

I wasn’t really sure how it went. I mean, my feeling was that it didn't go well. I was thinking, “Man, these guys want a really good teacher. I hope they talk to other people, too, and are able to find someone better.”

But, I found out later from my recruiter that they liked me. So, my documents (application packet) have been sent to them. I won’t say that I got the position until I hear that they actually signed the papers. But, it’s looking good.

This is an elementary school just outside of Seoul. If all goes well, I’ll be over there in June.

So, yeah. I think it was a good day.
