It's hard to believe that my year in Korea is finally over. A lot has changed on both sides of the ocean during the past year and it's a little bit of a relief to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
It also occurred to me that this is the first time in a long time that I have nothing related to work or school to look forward to in a while. Since high school, I've had classes or work at least every summer coming up. It's strange to not think about the new school year or starting a job.
At the same time, it's somewhat refreshing. This year in Korea was hard, partly because it felt like one long business trip. I never really relaxed for the past year; it was "go go go now now NOW quickly quickly QUICKLY" for 12 months and this is the first time in a while that time is no longer a factor.
In the past year, I also found out or confirmed a lot of things about myself. I had a tough time during some of these discoveries but I guess now I know.
I'm going to miss having the freedom to live alone, but living in a familiar place with a familiar language and familiar customs would be a nice shift from this chaotic year.

ReplyDeleteCongrats on completing the year.
ReplyDeletewhat are your plans now? are you going to purse education as a career?
Oh and I arrived in Seoul a few days ago, It's a shame we could not meet up.
Best of Luck.
I don't think I'll pursue education as a career but I got a good feeling of what I *don't* want to do.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy Seoul!
