The fact I'm even making a video like this right now is veryyyyyy... odd, but in the absolute best way possible :)))))) !!! This is my 1000%, first ever week long vlog I've ever filmed in my RU-vid career... it means alot to me to be able to capture a typical week in my current life, and display it for you all to see, observe, and be informed by. I look forward to improving when it comes to making future vlogs like this... guess what, I'm approaching 5 months of living in Daejeon, South Korea as of this upcoming January! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? ALSO, my new few videos will be dipping into tutorial territory and some more fun, light hearted vlogs. Do stay tuned 🕺🏽 ! THANKS FOR WATCHING 💞

Hi! I really loved this vlog, your positivity is so inspiring :) I applied for the spring intake so now I’m trying to get a feel of how life could be if I actually get it? I feel like you fit in really well here, and 4 months in it seems like you have your routine down to a science! Also I smiled so much hearing your students say hi to you in the hallways and seeing you play in the snow (I’m also from Florida!!) idk just this was so calming and I know your students feel so lucky to have you as their teacher. Hope you have a lovely day!

@@daevin3 Yeah man, I’m not kidding either. Later on in my life, when I could more reasonably think as an “adult,” I realized that I wasn’t properly prepared for life and so now that I’m trying to get my stuff together I find it assuring to see other ppl my age out there doing their own thing. Being independent, being successful, pushing themselves, growing. Like you said “if I can do it, you can do it.” It’s just gonna take others like myself a little longer and that’s ok. But you’re out there, and yeah it’s tough, but like that’s what it has to be like and I’ve had to get through my thick skull these past few years. It’s supposed to be tough. It’s like working out; muscle doesn’t come from moving your arms up and down a few times each day, it comes from hard work. But then you feel better about yourself and your situation afterwards and you think to yourself that it was worth it. Anyways, now just I’m rambling on but yeah, just keep doing what you’re doing man, nice work out there 💪👍

@daevin3 3 месяца назад

Hi! Thank you for watching + commenting!! To answer your question.. I do believe with EPIK it may be more difficult to get a teaching position as a non-native speaker.

@@TheWeirdoroblox Hi!! I'm here to answer questions as best as I can and to help, you're not bothering at all~ to answer your friend's question. The school years start in March, and end around January-ish.. (depends on the school), Korean schools DON'T have a summer break like American schools. They essentially go to school year-round with about several week long breaks in late summer and early winter. So, there is typically only a few weeks of a break before students will come back to resume school. I hope this helps!! If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask~

Your skin may be bad because of these following reasons: 1. Air quality in Korea and the proximity to China 2. Change in diet and ingredients your body doesn’t normally eat or eat with as often as you are now 3. (Seems to be the most common) your mask wearing. Your skin only has patches where your mask is, mascne dermatologists are calling it. Your skin needs more oxygen! It’ll get better, don’t worry 😉
