if you want to see a rainbow, you've got to have a little rain

if you want to see a rainbow, you've got to have a little rain. too bad it's monsoon season in korea right now. i hope that means i get to see a really big rainbow.

i had a great plan to stay in korea until november, go home for the holidays, and then start a round-the-world trip in the spring. i found out last week that my school will be closing at the end of the month, and so it's time for me to get a new plan. i am not ready to leave korea so soon. i think i will stay here for august to spend time with my friends and to work a short summer camp. i know i will miss korea, but i cannot sign a contract to stay for another year. i am not a fan of the winter, and so i think i will go back to a place where i always feel beautiful.

i love thailand, and i was very happy there. i need to go back to a place where i feel beautiful everyday. i rather liked being admired on the street. i miss the simple life i had there, both when i was diving and when i was teaching. i miss the adventures. i also miss thai food a lot. korean food just doesn't compare to it at all.

everything seems to happen for a reason, and maybe it's just time for me to move on and do something different. timing could have been a bit better, since now i am trying to find a job on top of applying to grad school and studying for the gre. i made a giant list of things to do while i am still in korea, and so i guess i just have to do one thing at a time. that's the most anyone can do anyways...just live one hour at a time.
