Words of Wisdom...

"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined."
Henry David Thoreau

"All men dream but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes to make it possible."
T.E. Lawrence

Uncertain

As I sit here in Korea, waiting for my afternoon, Elementary classes to start, I can't help but wonder.......

Does anyone at home really miss me? Do I really make that big of an impact on people in my life that they actually miss me when I'm gone??

Will they miss me enough to be excited when I come home in a year? Or will they forget me and my existance and it will be a minor blip in their realities when I return??

I always think way too much....

Living in Korea now...

I am so busy now.... its so different from when I was NON-busy at home.

I'm in Korea now for those that don't know. I'm teaching english to the cutest Korean Kindergarteners/elementary students ever. I love those kids because they are so pure.

They don't need to speak the same language as me to express their love for me. They attach themselves to my hands and my legs and my waist constantly. I walk down the halls at school with little Korean kids attached to me from every side. They are just so cute.

They scream a lot, which is the only downfall of teaching Kindergarten. They give me a headache, but they are so young and full of life that I cannot blame them for being that way.

Whatever. So... I have been in Korea for one week and I have missed people from home SO much. I miss my friends and family. I miss the love of my life. And he knows who he is. I miss him so much, its ridiculous. I had a dream last night about him and I cannot stop thinking about it.

I don't know why. It was just a dream, but whatever.

I hope everything is going well at home, and if you feel like sending me a letter, go for it. I would love to hear from you.
