I started my second year here back in Feb.
I'm still undecided on a 3rd year. If I do stay, I think I'm gonna try to teach at a Hagwon in Seoul - better pay, and I much prefer Seoul to my corner of Incheon.

Or, I could get a TOEFL certification, but that would take ~6 months to pay back, and require months of classes. So, likely not.

You should  be able to get one for $300 shouldn't you?
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

From what I saw, the price is about ~$1000, and it's several months of classes.
Could be that that's something else, though.

I looked into TOEFL certification and the prices I saw were much more like what Timmy is talking about.

I checked again and found some cheaper ones.
Looks like the more expensive ones are the classroom and "guaranteed placement" ones.

A guy I know got for $300 ~ and the school he was at accepted it and raised his pay.

11 years go by quickly.  Then with a pension you can do whatever the fuck you want with your life.

It doesn't help that my job-satisfaction level is at an all-time low.  :P

11 years? Weren't you already on Languish when you first enlisted?  :huh:

I was on well over a year before I enlisted, maybe nearly two.

And I said an "additional" 11 years.  My current enlistment isn't up until 2013.

The Engrish is strong this week.

Yesterday I saw an Old Navy style shirt with American flag for Boston Massachubatts.

Today I saw a girl wearing a jacket that said Get Used on the back.

No, she's an 8th grader.
