Just part of the Quest

Well its been a long Journey~ I have came to Korea for a mission to Explore about myself and to learn about what/who I am.
Its been a long time since I last touched American Soil and the transitions that I have gone through are remarkable in their own right.

First off, today nothing special just another typical day. I made Sauteed Shrimp Spaghetti for Christina and enjoyed a nice morning which unfortunately ended abruptly at 1 which it always does.

Work~After a 7 class day yesterday I only had an easy 5 the perfect day... I am still trying to be a good teacher but its not coming along easy enough.

I am surviving at work only watching the Drama unfold..who is to say what will happen... Everyday is full of surprises.

After work~ I went to Mcdonalds and had a Burger with Christina I guess we had a Burger craving. I am hoping that we eat more healthy soon since I especially am abusing my diet. After dinner we sat and talked about Family Values among other things while waiting for a bus. ...


The Quest I decided to go on has left huge impressions on me and thus have made me a changed man. In the begining I was naive to believing that I wouldnt change. I could have the same lifestlye that I had in college. I came here expecting to go on many Adventures, seeing old friends, probably doing a lot of drinking and who knows what else. I had many false notions about work as well. I realized that I would be working hard but I didnt realize that it would drain me and basically be my life. I was caught up in the romantic idea of a teacher~ I would be revered. What a young fool I was.

I have learned a lot about myself in my Korean experience. I have even stopped recognizing myself from 3 months ago since I have changed so much even in the last 3 months. I did a lot of number counting today~
I have been here for 7 months as of the 16th of January-8 more days. I will be leaving Korea in 157 days which is 22 weeks and 1 day, or 5 months and a day. I can't believe actually time is going so fast.

I look back at some older posts and its amazing I did these kind of things. Last year on this date I was going to Missoula for school during winter vacation and making plans to come to Korea in the process. Now I am figuring on going back to Missoula to go to school. I am going to find a house and apply hopefully in February or March.

Things continue to be pretty busy around here. I should do some serious housekeeping but for now I am intent on just trying to see to the event at hand.

Things that have changed about me since getting here~
*I dont drink as much anymore. When I go home I worry about that. I dont want to go back to the same routine of drinking.
*My appearance has changed. Mainly because I have a smoking beauty on my arm. "does anyone ever read this except my Honey?" I swear you guys are missing out... if you are drop me a line or something~ this is amazing material.
* I am more responsible and work hard now. I am much more serious about life and believe that everyday not well spent is a waste. And yes I have been Asianized. what does this mean? ~ I like a lot of Asain food and I have many new habits all of which remains to be known. I dont know what I do for sure.

* In my spare time I still am a goof~ I play on the computer, write a lot blog, and network. I still think that I need to go out more but exploration can be dangerous.

I am learning more tricks of the trade and secrets along the way but I think that this is good enough for this post. Its time to go study.

Oh also I did 50 pushups I am trying to get back in shape and develop a rigorous excercise routine. I hope that this will work.

More later.
