Real Life

Man, I have been a terrible blogger as of late. Although, it is easy to feel underwhelmed by life upon one's return to work in cold, cold Korea after a glorious (glorious!) holiday in the sun. So yea, obviously Bali was great. I wish I could straight teleport myself there pretty much every time I'm forced to leave my apartment and fare the treacherous, snow-packed, "we don't believe in shoveling or salting the sidewalks" death zone that is Korea. I've been doing it though, and managing to have some fun while I'm at it.

I've been doing a lot of soul searching lately, trying to figure out what to do with my life. You know, that whole thing. I came across this blog about staying abroad for longer than a year. It made me realize that that time in my life (as far as Korea) is over.. the time when I'm living it up, completely into it and not satisfied after just one year. I've done that, is what I'm saying, and it's been amazing. I'm really glad I've stayed as long as I have - I don't regret it at all. But I think my time here is winding down, and I'm looking ahead to my next move. I've experienced the feelings this girl describes, but I don't want to continue just because it's comfortable.

Lately I've been considering grad schools again, mainly because I discovered I might get aid from the G.I. bill, courtesy of my poppa. The question now is what to study. Journalism? International education? Something else I haven't thought of? Should I just forget all my worries and move to Thailand, never to be heard from again? Ok, maybe not. I just know I want to do something cool and helpful for my future, but I don't want to give up on my adventures. I guess I'm ready for life's next phase.

I've got my plate full with life decisions. It's gonna take some time and serious consideration to figure it all out. In the mean time, however, check out these pictures of a penis-shaped bottle opener. Thanks, Bali.
