Two of my hooks fell down off my wall and my scarves are all everywhere.
My rug is pink. Light pink...*sigh*
I have to keep my rice cooker on my trash can because I don't have enough room on my counter top for it.
I have about four shirts on each hanger.
I'm missing two pillow cases...
There are scuffs on my walls and dust bunnies under my bed. There are deep grooves cut in my chair (from previous owners, I believe) and my desk looks like a grenade went off on it.
My apartment is a messy, dilapidated, tiny, little box... but it's my messy box.
I'm beginning to wonder how I'm ever going to move all of my belongings from here to home. I have a feeling I'll be leaving a lot of stuff...
But, it's just stuff.
Not much new has been going on in my life here. The biggest and most interesting change has been my new co-teacher, Jin. Having her in my life makes everything different.
Also, I've resigned from the worship team. No biggie.
Now, I'm sitting in my apartment, thinking about how big my life has gotten since coming to Korea and wondering how big my life can be when I return to the U.S. My hope and prayer is that my life can be only more full and that I can be only more fulfilling to the people who's life I am in there. After all, my life here can be so one dimensional... and despite that, I've had a full life here. I hope I can be a real person again when I return to the states. A real person with real responsibilities and goals and hopes and loves.
I think I'm ready. Four months, baby and I'm ready!

Sounds like some things have changed for you lately. Don't give up for the last few months you are here. God brought you here for a reason! I know sometimes the lessons are hard. Praying for you.

I'll have your aunt work on making her cookies from rice and squid for when you get back. I wouldn't want the chocolate chips to mess with your system.
The good news: America still remembers you, misses you, and wants you back.
The EVEN BETTER NEWS: You still have 4 months left to enjoy the Korean experience!! I think about Korea every day...and the experience grows richer in my mind every time I talk with someone about it and can process my journey. Keep absorbing - keep learning :) LOTS OF LOVE!
I agree, our lives here are so one-dimensional! There's so much more in me that wants to come out you know? I think you said that to me recently as well. I understand. Your hopes and prayers are also mine.
I completely understand about the lack of counterspace. We have our rice cooker on the fridge here.
Miss you lots, hope that things get better.
