Update...I'm not doing so well

I arrived in South Korea on March 14th. I started my new job on March 15.

I haven't written since I arrived because I am having a hard time adjusting this time. I cry almost everyday. I haven't gotten out and explored the place where I live. My apartment is  tiny. The bed is very tiny and hard so I wake up hurting every morning. I toss and turn at night. I wake up at least twice because its so uncomfortable. I have to change positions. I dread going to work everyday. I've only been at my new job for a week and 3 days. I've already put in my resignation letter. I gave a 2 months notice today.

I'm thinking about 2 options. Get a new job or move back home and never come back. I'm leaning strongly towards the last option, but that means things would be over with my 'boyfriend'. (I meet him in about 3 weeks. We've been chatting online for over 3 months)It would be sad to end it but I might have to.

I don't eat much these days. I used to love to eat.

I'm not happy in my new school.. Its all because of Kindergarten. I never knew it would be so hard. Its really hard to fill up the time. I feel like I can't plan enough things for class.The kids won't pay attention. They just want to be kids, but Im expected to teach them.

I only have 5 students in all. 2 kindergarten students. In my elementary classes I only have one student in each class.

Seoul is so far away.

I spent too much money buying things for my place.

I haven't had my medical check yet or applied for my ARC. I have to do it within 90 days. If I'm not here for 90 days then I wont even worry about getting one. Its hard not having a phone though.

I don't know how to use my washing machine. I guess I will just try something and see if it works.

The plug adapter blew up my ac adapter on my laptop so now I have to get a new adapter. Why did that happen? My laptop says it can be used from 100-240volts. Korea is 220.

Well there's an update.....probably won't be another one for a while since I'm not doing so well.
