Midway into my contract. I think I've reached my "mid-contract crisis". Yeah, that's what I'm calling it. Which means I need to figure out what I'm going to do once my contract is complete...or at least have a few plans in place since I'm constantly changing my mind. It will all boil down to how I feel when my time here comes to an end. I'm fairly certain that I will not stay another year (I know I keep saying that).
Since my arrival here I think I have finally overcome my homesickness, realized that I should never say "never", come to terms with the fact that I don't know when I will return to Atlanta and if I will stay there...the list could go on. One thing I have realized during my vacation in Tokyo is that I really do have a great life. What a wonderful feeling! It seems as if I am in a dream world. There's nothing holding me back...I can do whatever I want. Never in a million years would I have imagined myself working/living on the other side of the world, or even in a different country. I'm meeting great people and forming friendships which I know will last beyond Korea. The proximity to the places I would like to visit is ideal and unbelievable. Since I'm on this side of the world, it just wouldn't be right if I didn't visit my motherland.
So the time has come for me to start my list making of what I would like to do in Korea before I leave and what I would like to do when I leave Korea.
