Brew,
Sorry, but you were right. I think I left my brain somewhere. She will fly out at 1:00 AM.

Phone just rang and it never rings at night. Sarah is at the airport, there was a little confusion about the flight, but it's all sorted out now. She can't get her ticket right yet, but she knows where to go and what to do. We're supposed to call her back in an hour to make sure that everything's okay. Once she gets past the gates, she's home free.

Mrs. Lily, the director keeps calling her cell. Told her to ignore it.

Not too much longer now and hopefully Jimbo and I both will be able to get some sleep. When I called him earlier, I told him that I wish he could make my imagination leave me alone. He said he'd do it, if I did the same for him.

FWIW, she is NOT going overseas again for a very long damned time. She's going to be lucky if I let her go out of state by herself Wink

(just a bit of levity, folks).

Again, we appreciate all the support.

Carolyn and family

Cat

She is on the plane and on her way home. Got two e-mails this morning. One from her and one from Adam (some of you met him in Dallas).

She said that Mrs. Tracey, the recruiter, called her, begging her to stay, telling her that they would do something. Well, if you had done that in the beginning, it wouldn't have gotten this bad, would it?

Continued prayers for safe travels. Bet you can't wait to hug that girl's neck real tight.

Sarah - I'm sure you're terriblly disapointed (let down) over this but I'm sure there is something more fantastic waiting for you here. There are many ESL programs here to help people that are struggling once they're here - I'm sure you'll do well and make a difference in someone's life over here.

Safe travels, and welcome home!

I've heard some GReaT things from friends who have worked for Teach For America if that ends up being something you end up really considering once things settle down Sarah.

Still a way to see a different part of this country, help under-privileged kids, teach English, etc. Let me know if you'd like to talk to someone who is in the program one day! Cool

I was considering joining the program before I was blessed with CH and since then I have had enough of a struggle just working F/T.

I have to finish my Bachelors degree first. 4 classes to go Wink

THEN I still may look into it! Tongue

Looks like a cool program!!!

If need be I have a friend who is an attorney for a Swiss bank. I believe he could refer you all to a good international attorney.

Which ever way you decide to go, understand this, that you cannot control what another does. You can only control yourself and your thoughts. You can hold your head up knowing you did all within your power to do right, and that is all one can hope to do.

Sorry about not posting before now, but I had a really intense day at work yesterday and I'm still a bit wiped out from all the excitement of the past week. Last night was the first night that I actually slept worth a damn. Sarah slept most of the day yesterday and was still wiped out. It didn't help that it was cloudy and she couldn't get any sun. She's at the boyfriends right now.

Everything/body is okay. I really don't think they will try to sue her. I can't see where it would be cost effective on their part. They can't file it on US soil because the contract actually originates from South Korea.

She's already looking at jobs, in fact, she was on her computer Thursday night after we got back from the airport.

Not much in this world sucks worse than being in a no-win situation at the same time that you're isolated from any support network. Welcome home, Sarah. Maybe you can find a job teaching history (which is my not-so-secret-anymore dream job).

Sarah,
I am hesitant in saying this because I am sure the wounds are still wide open but there are other abroad programs that are good. My niece did a year in Korea teaching English and my other niece did 3 months in Africa and is dying to go back. One of my friends son went to Hungry over 15 years ago and is still there teaching. The Dept. Of Defense Schools are another safer way to teach out of the country. I grew up in these. Give yourself time to heal and look again. The world deserves teachers like you Sarah. Don't let one bad experience knock you down. Teach Abroad is also good if you want to stay States side. My daughter Lisa is teaching History in a very poor rural school. This is a challenege in itself that she didn't need to leave the country for! Good luck!!

To everyone: Thank you so much~

(I'd meant to reply sooner, but well, jet lag plus the fourteen hour time difference plus the flu...well, I'm barely functioning at the moment.)

I don't think I've ever been so nerve-wracked/scared/petrified in my life, as I was when I was sitting in Incheon Airport waiting to see if immigration would come.

Now I'm playing the waiting game for jobs. I've applied to Teach for America before, but they have a tendency to go for Ivy League graduates, but we'll see.

I'm actually not sure if I want to even teach anymore. I would be much happier sitting in a room doing research, but no one wants a historian with no experience so...

Once again, though, thank you all!
