Getting busy

Something I'd better be doing. Trust me, no matter how much I tried, I couldn't get the boxes to pack themselves.
Tomorrow morning I leave, and then...
It will be at least a week before the next post.

Leaving on a big bus

Well, today was the last day I saw my friend A. I saw her off to the airport and then walked to the library. It was my last day to volunteer there as well. I feel so sad. I really have enjoyed a lot here in the states, although I'm looking forward to Korea. I still have four boxes and one large bag to pack.
I'm leaving Wednesday to go to Springfield. Then off into the wild blue yonder. I guess I should get busy, but I find myself looking at the boxes, drinking coffee, remembering to e-mail some friends, looking at the boxes some more, drinking more coffee, e-mailing more friends, calling some friends, looking at the boxes.... well you get the idea.

She's got her ticket to ride

I have the ticket confirmed. I will leave on July 5, arrive Sunday July 6 at 5, and hopefully be eating kimchi by Sunday at 7.
I remember when flying was fun. I am so not looking forward to the whole security kabuki that is flying today.
My room-mate A. is leaving on Monday for Colorado, and I'm leaving on Wednesday to see my aunts. That only leaves Sunday, and she has to work. I will miss her so much. I don't think she realizes how much she has influenced me. (in a good way)
I also have a hella lot of packing and orgainizing to do.

First Post

Of course I'm nervous. Wouldn't you be? I have been to Korea before and this is a great opportuntiy to go back. I've got my visa. I've got my stuff almost packed. I've asked myself, more than once, what the hell I'm doing with all this stuff. I am almost ready.
I will miss volunteering at the library. I will miss walking the ADD Siberian Husky.
I will miss tacos. But at the same time, I can't wait to get started on a new adventure to a familiar place
