Frustrations Fixed

My week improved considerably after my most recent blog.

I went hiking. I went to dinner with some new girlfriends. I recieved a great letter from my FASHION editor telling me that readership was up forty percent on the East Coast for the magazine and that my blog was one of the main contributing factors! Most importantly I solved or got myself on the road to solving some of my frustrations.


My most recent post was a Debbie downer of a blog, but it did yield some results-my friend Rachel suggested that I seek a language partner and shortly after reading her comment, one fell right into my lap! The waitress who spoke English to Chloe and I when we went to a nearby bar for drinks was working again two nights ago when we needed a fix for our Kimbap craving. She explained to us that English had been her major at Univeristy and that she was looking for a language partner. In exchange for a free meal and a Korean lesson I'm going to tutor Moon-Nun every Tuesday-hopefully this will help ease my communication frustrations.

I also received a really positive note from Jennifer Han, one of the young Korean girls, I tutored last year. It basically reminded me how difficult she found Canada when she first arrived, and how these challenges make us better. Thanks Jennifer!
