May Update

I haven't posted in awhile, so I figure it's about time. So here is what's new in my life!

Job: I'm now and office manager/instructor at an adult college! Pretty cool, eh? I get a salary and benefits! HUZZAH!

Hobbies: I've recently (very recently) taking up the fiddle. I'm taking lessons from a local pro and apparently, I'm a natural! I really love it. But getting used to the grip is really taking it's toll. My left fingertips are getting more callused than when I played guitar and my shoulder is killing me from playing without a shoulder pad! But it's all part of the process! :)

Love life: Still non-existant. But I don't mind so much anymore. I'm not sure why...It's been almost a year that I've been single, and 9 months since I've had a lover. But I don't feel like I need either right now. Even men that in the past (including the fairly recent past) I've been attracted to, I feel more compassionate love for than romantic love. That being said, there are times when my romantic feelings for a few individuals may leap back for a few minutes. But really, I'm happy being single for the time being. Although I do wish that creepy ofl men would stop hitting on me...

Home: I don't have one. My Dad will be selling the house within a month and I'll have to go stay with my Mum until I can get my own place. That should be a thrill....Or not.

I miss Korea. I especially miss the people I met in Korea. James, Liz, Kirsten, Avery, Dina, Graham and Gina (my co-workers), all the kids from school, Bright, Lakshumi, Ms Cho, Yongsu Sunim and Jigwang Sunim from the temple, and all the friends I made. I miss being able to stay out as late as I wanted and not have to worry about catching the last bus home. I miss the lady that works at the shop near my apartment that gave me a sly wink everytime I went there with a guy friend (especially the last time when I went with Graham, that was LEGENDARY!)

But all in all, it's nice to be home. Especially nice to be able to speak the same two languages as everyone else.
