Should I join the peace corps when I get home? I considered this as a possibility before I came to Korea.
Should I move to LA and pursue my dreams?
Should I get my TESOL certificate and move to Greece?
Should I stay put and work as a teacher for a couple years at my beloved McClintock High?
Should I do none of the above and live in my parents house for the rest of my youth?
Should I fix up my car and live in that for the next 10 years as I wander across the U.S. experiencing the life I've been given?
___________
I have been given a newfound sense of self and purpose. I don't know why it came now, all of a sudden. I came to a realization on friday after the horrid OPEN CLASS here in Korea. I realized that I don't hate this country. In fact, I am enjoying myself here. I can only imagine all the stories I will have by the time I go to leave home. Every day here is a new adventure.
Today I am going to get my first haircut in Korea. That should be interesting, for sure.
I have come to the conclusion that life is way too short.
I find it frustrating that I don't know what I'm going to do next. The past year made me realize that while I want certain things, those things aren't always for me. I hated how things turned out, but sometimes you can't stop things from turning out a certain way.
I haven't thought about the one who broke my heart as often in the last few days as I usually have. Rachel would be proud of me, she always yelled at me for giving him so much of myself when he didn't deserve me in the first place. I don't know why I dedicate so much of myself to certain people or things.
I am loyal... thats for sure.
But I think its a great sign that I haven't thought about him as much. I could really use a break from him and the thoughts of him that bring me such heartache.
WOOO
Today is a good day even though I'm tired.
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

you should just follow your heart. There are so many paths that you can take in this life. I think we both learned that some will be good and some will end bad, but you can always say that you tried. I think that we should move to LA together. Maybe we can convince Shawn to finally move to. I think that would be a fun adventure. Maybe I would actually go back to school there. Who knows.
