So I've decided to renew my contract teaching at my current school for another year. I will eventually make it back home to Atlanta, but only after I've made a few stops along the way. AND when I do make it back home, I'm uncertain as to how long I will stay. My future is unknown and it feels wonderful! I've sailed away from the safe harbor. I better get my butt in gear and begin my post-Korea plans. Currently I plan to be on the road, but not sure for how long. A SE Asia tour sounds about right (which will include about a month or so stay in the Philippines touring and meeting my mother's family), possibly stops in the lands of OZ and Kiwi, and I better pop on over to Hawaii to say hello to my lola (grandmother)...just thinking out loud. I miss Hawaii. While watching the modern day Hawaii Five-0, I find myself constantly reminiscing about my childhood living on the island of Oahu.
For the time being, I better make my Korea to-do list. Before I know it, I will blink my eyes and it will be 2013 and my time here in the Hermit Kingdom will come to an end.
My one regret is that I wish I had done this years ago...moved to another country, or other countries, to live and work and experience life. Although I shouldn't complain since I'm doing it now...better late than never. Plus, I wouldn't have the wonderful people in my life that I have now.
While living abroad, doesn't matter which country, you realize that there are certain "luxuries" from "home" which you can live/do without (I'll leave this to your wild imagination). I'm constantly learning how strong, and extroverted, I am/can be. I recently asked one of my very good friends here if I seemed shy. To my surprise she said no. I guess I can be shy depending on the situation.
"Who are you?" said the Caterpillar.
Alice replied, rather shyly, "I-I hardly know, Sir, just at the present--at least I know who I was when i got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then."
