Once again, apologies for the long absence. No excuses this time... just been lazy and working. Week 12 is about to start, which means only 2 weeks of work, or 10 days left. Whoa. This number looks odd when written out.
The past month has been filled with work, a few vacation days for the Lunar New Year, also known as Chinese New Year. I've also been able to travel to Busan with some co-workers, and will actually do so again next weekend. One of my co-workers and good friends left this past week, so that was difficult. I've always known I get attached to people too easily, but after going to his going-away celebration it became more clear. It's going to make my goodbyes to other co-workers that much more difficult.
I'm both excited and terrified to return home. Excited to finally have the food, people, and technologies I missed. You have no idea how excited I will be when I can use a dryer for the first time in 18 months. Or the easiness of traveling from place to place in a car rather than taxi or subway. My mouth waters at the thought of the food I'll be able to enjoy soon... one word: Chick-fil-a!!!! However, I am nervous about what will happen and the plans I have set in my head for where I want to go next. Grad school is the plan, but I need to prepare for the GRE, applications, and so on once I'm back in Atlanta. I'm also unsure how long it'll take to re-adjust to everything, so please be patient with me if I'm amazed by the tiniest things, ask a million questions, get lost when driving, etc.
Now that I feel less guilty for the lack of updates... back to packing I go. I've come to the conclusion my room or area has to look super chaotic before everything comes together. Oops.
