On the back of a motorbike, arms outstretched trying to take flight

So lately I've been struck with a powerful wave of wanderlust. Ready to grab my bag and travel the world. I suppose it's a good thing that Korea is less than a week away. I couldn't be more ready. The excitement and anticipation is building. I'm making notes and planning outfits. I really cant wait to be overseas again. I feel more at home when I am traveling anyways. I'm ready to sit back and see new sights and meet new people and try new things. I'll be back with plenty of stories and pictures. Wish me luck with the parents! ;)

Learning Plateau

I always hate getting to the part of learning a new language where you hit the plateau....or the lack of motivation phase. I'm stuck in it now, at the most critical time for it. I have less than a month till I head off to Korea to meet Kyounghee's entire family and I feel less than accomplished at Korean. I feel immense pressure to master this difficult language if Kyounghee and I are to have any type of future. He mentioned to me today how much he really desires for me to becomes proficient at Korean as he is at English so that we may communicate more smoothly. I feel that if I do not do this well, that he may take offense at this and become upset with me. I also have not been keeping up with this blog due to the fact that I have been practically living at my workplace. Cracker Barrel has indeed taken my soul. I live their most of the time and when I am at home, I am so tired I do not wish to practice Korean or read or cook or any of the things I set out to do this summer. I find myself floating between shifts.
