my last post on Korean soil, for who knows how long.
Well, I never thought that this day would finally come. From my first few months where I wanted to be anywhere but in Korea, to my last month or more where I wanted the time to go so slow that it seemed like time was standing still. This is a strange feeling, and its left me somewhat in a shock; I have nothing to compare this emotion to, except to say that it sucks, and I hope that I will never have to experience something like this for a long, long time. Sure, if I come back to Korea, like I keep telling people, then I will have the same similar feeling; but this is the first time, so its new; and new things right now suck.
As I'm typing this, I remember times in Korea where I've wondered why I am here; why this institute, why this "house"- (if you could call that first place I stayed a house) But since then, I've been blessed with an amazing Korean room mate whose made my life so much enjoyable, and friends who have made me feel like I'm spoiled, even though I can't do as much for them as they do for me. I don't know how I'm going to leave - I'm meeting my friends this morning right before they start work, and then I've got to take the airport bus off to Incheon, to await my fourteen hour flight from here to Chicago, and then Chicago to Detroit. I'm not looking forward to it, although its still better than hopping all over the country, and visiting so many stopover cities, so I'm kinda glad that I've got a long flight.
So how do you end one of these "story-blogs?" Being my first venture, I sure know that if i come back, I'll be doing a lot of web page things differently, but I must say, I'm going to miss writing and rambling on about all sorts of different things...
Once I get home, and have some time to get settled, I'll write one more post to the blog, where I'll list anything that I want to put in conclusion. However, it will be from Canada, and it will certainly feel strange posting from a different place than my bedroom.
Mostly because I'm in a thankful type of mood, I want to say thank you to all of you who have spent the time to read this blog- I know that their aren't many of you who actually read it, as opposed to just following the link from somewhere, but to those of you who do, thank you. Its been fun following my blog website statistics, and seeing where readers come from, what they read, etc. (you can get pages and pages of website statistics from just about anywhere these days)
So the moment I finish this, I'll be closing my laptop. Its almost like I'm just finishing the last page of a good book, and I don't want the story to end. Sure, I hope that theirs a trilogy somewhere made (and I've only finished part one, or even part two of the book.) But theirs only one person (God) who knows what my future holds, and its going to be up to me to trust His plan.
Take care all, and for those of you still in Korea, enjoy every minute of it that you can - before you know it, it will be time to go home, and you won't want to leave.
God bless,
me
