I hate to sound clichéd and all nostalgic-like, but really, how did time fly by so quickly?
The now always seems unmoving, yet somehow it situates itself differently and you're the one ending up caught off guard. For as long as I could remember, I've longed for some kind of dramatic change in my comfortable life... something not unlike the kind of transformations you see in movies. And although I haven't become a rockstar or spent some-odd months in a different country, I find myself sitting here having gone through the most challenging and transforming three years of my life. Right now I can't help but be both excited and even fearful for my last year of college (which starts in two days, eep!) Just the past half-year or so alone was something else. A total wakeup experience in terms of friends, career, family, relationships, down to something as simple as enjoying tea more fully.
An obligatory account of the what-I-dids: Today I went to Hanmi market with pushpins and tear-off flyers in an attempt to attract competitive Korean mothers that are in tune with all things academia. After an entire summer of working at an unpaid internship I'm currently trying to get out of my despicable financial situation, and thank God the forecast for incoming calls seems promising. Instead of being shoved in a narrow walkway next to the bathrooms, the flyer board was relocated to a much more visible area right outside the entrance doors and even better, the board was cleared of the thick layer of old accumulated flyers. Hopefully the only thing Hanmi shoppers will see for awhile is the ad for a Korean Master Chorale concert (which is actually my dad's poster) and my flyer for English tutoring. Tomorrow's stop, Teacher's Supplies. Ironically, that's the place I was thinking very seriously of burning down for a good decade or so of my life, but hopefully we'll be able to make amends when it becomes a source of a good flow of greens.
This totally does not make sense with what I said in the previous paragraph and I'm revealing my inner geek way too early, but I bought this today. Meaning, party at my place in a couple of days or so. MuchÃsimas gracias to Jon for the recommendation and as always, finding it at an unbelievable price.
Congratulations to you who was actually able and interested enough to find this site. Xanga and I had a long and enjoyable relationship together, but my audience became quite large and I wasn't able to write as personally and honestly as I wanted. Blogger seems to be an appropriate platform for more mature thoughts rather than pictures and silly elusive coded messages for crushes. And besides, it's always exciting to start something new. Hopefully this will be a useful outlet to write down thoughts and happenings, even if it is only once (or twice) in a while.
