Four days until I move into my apartment for the 2014-2015 school year at OSU. I'm weirdly excited! Now that I've felt that feeling of being abroad and traveling, I feel like my mind is very focused. More so than it was before at least. I don't need to daydream as much. I'm finding pleasure in reading Food&Wine magazine and reading a novel by Rachel Friedman called "The Good Girl's Guide to Getting Lost." I don't need to watch tv as much. And more importantly, I'm very excited to start working towards something again.
I think while I was in Korea so long, it was easy to forget how lucky I was. I was abroad for so long that it was hard to work towards anything. But now that I'm back, I've got so much to do that it's starting to freak me out a little. I have two years to complete a thesis, to save enough money for a wedding in England and a plane ticket to Korea, to get a TESOL certification or at least apply for jobs in Korea, to finish two majors and learn enough Korean to be happy and conversational when I'm back in Korea, and then I need to keep up a social life and fuel my new found social butterfly spirit.
I loved how confident I have gotten, but I can feel it slipping away. I need to hold on for dear life because I refuse to be that mousy version of myself again.
Anyway, I'll add more stories from Korea and Mexico later. Little flashbacks~
