I have been freaking out a little about how I am going to support myself when I get back to the states. I think my plans for extensive travel before I return home may have been a little unrealistic. Since I have been traveling a lot here, I really haven’t saved a lot of money. Also, transferring won to dollars is not ideal especially considering ( Read more... )

Well, I can’t say it was a dating disaster, not at first anyway. The first date was one that I didn’t want to end. Eric texted me 3 weeks after we first met, right about the time I was thinking he wasn’t really interested. His text just said “ARE YOU ( Read more... )

I don’t know if I was a really picky eater when I was young. My mom might be able to tell you better than I could. I was just old enough to remember that my little sister, Angie, was about the pickiest child when it came to eating. Also, as I recall from any child I was ever around back home, they were also very picky. This comes to ( Read more... )

I only had a few things that I really wanted to do this weekend. 1. Get a pedicure (walking everywhere on the dirty city streets sure makes a girl’s feet beastly) 2. Get a haircut 3. Work on a little project for my pal Lauren’s going away gift. All accomplished!! Yay for me!

I had plans for movie night on Friday and a Father’s day ( Read more... )

I wanted to back track a little.. I had an entire week off when I got back from Japan… I realize I didn’t tell you about any of it.. I spent most of the time truly taking a vacation and part of it was that I was a little nervous that I was being spied on considering I WAS being ‘quarantined’.

Lauren visited me last night on her layover from Japan to China. It was nice to catch  up with her about her travels around Japan. I really started to feel the effects of her leaving and how I feel like we became such good friends over the course of the year.  I just started to think about how it is amazing how some people come into ( Read more... )

Walking to work today, I experienced a first.. This isn't one of those great firsts like first kiss, first car, first vacation... oh no, this is not one of those firsts that you would ever look forward to or wish for, it is one of those firsts that just falls out of the sky... That's right.. a bird shat on me this morning on my way to work. Luckily ( Read more... )

Hello!! You may be getting too many doses of  C.O.K.E (Chronicles of Korea E-mails) these days.. I am really just catching up for lost time. Also, I hit that one year mark which makes me think back on the past year and how I haven’t seen some of you for more than a year now! I am reminded time and time again how quickly time passes us ( Read more... )

Hello!! It has been a while. My lack of correspondence has not been intentional, I have been thinking about everyone the whole time.. of course, I have been keeping myself pretty busy but in the middle of trying to get the most out of Korea, I got really sick.. I have been sick for about 85% of 2009! A mixture of bad air and mold an ( Read more... )
