I guess I should explain myself...

I know that I have close to 52 weeks before I get back to the States... probably even more since I plan on visiting England for a few weeks after leaving here. I know that I want to spend New Years Eve of 2010 with people I care about and hopefully start 2011 off with a good job in a decent state. I know that a part of me didn't want to come here in the first place, that I wished I would find a journalism job in Florida and that things would just work out for once.

I also know now that I am extremely happy to be here, and even if I continue to count down how many days I have left, that won't stop me from enjoying my time and taking advantage of every opportunity to see everything I possibly can while I'm here. I want to be here and spend a year living a life completely different than I'm used to.

I've realized I'm the type of person who would rather be happy doing what I want than living the "perfect" life. My perfect life will be living near the beach with my animals and hopefully someone special one day... and you can laugh if you want, but I guarantee I'll be able to make it happen. My time in Korea is just one stepping stone leading me there.

I really do miss a lot of things from back home... and it's only been two(ish) weeks. It's crazy. Just thinking about my cats made me really sad the other day! But, I've got this. A year will go by pretty fast... maybe...

Second weekend... or third...or something.

I'm pretty sure this has been my third weekend here in Korea, and I basically spent it in my apartment reading and writing. Luckily for me, those are two things I love to do. I ventured out briefly yesterday to get a few things, but I've been a homebody the rest of the weekend. It was nice though, especially since my cold made me lose some sleep last week.

Next weekend I get to go to Japan! Hopefully I'll learn the details of that little exursion tomorrow. It'll be neat to go, but I heard Japan's expensive, and I've kind of gotten used to how cheap everything is here. (Can't you all already see how lovely my savings account will look when I get home?)

I can't believe Thanksgiving is only a couple weeks away! What the heck? It's already been a year since I was in Vegas, that's crazy. No idea what I'm doing yet... if anything.

Oh well. This blog is kind of lame since this weekend consisted of doing pretty much nothing. I need to start taking pictures...
