As I sit here in the States, where by the way it's -7 celsius(sp?) / 20 fahrenheit(sp?) and that's what we all call "it's warming up today" (as compared to the last couple of days when it's been -20 celsius (sp?) / 0 fahrenheit (sp?) (not including wind chill of course) I am debating if and how much I will miss this place I've called home for so many years. And more importantly, WHAT will I miss? People here is a given, my family, my friends and some people I work/have worked with, but besides that? Will i miss the 10pm news? Probably not. Will I miss my car and driving down 35W and cranking the music? Perhaps. Maybe I will get an urge once in a while for a cold Red Bull...yeah, that's possible. But all in all, I think I won't miss a thing.
I know what I won't miss: shoveling snow, that is dirty and heavy and icy and almost stuck to the ground in big chunks, after the plow has gone through the alley.
Honestly, my mind is is whirlwind of random thoughts now...I don't seem to be able to focus. I try, but to no avail. I am so anxious to get to Korea and move in to the mansion that is my Korean home. Being in the mansion has a calming effect on me, it makes me feel OK, like I am no longer just a bi-product. In the mansion I am a person and I count. I matter. In Korea I am.
