So next time I put up a post it will be from South Korea, how wild is that?!!! My last night (well my last full night) in the US and suddenly I had this thought about how I ended up at this point, you know getting ready to go to Korea to teach children English for a little bit more than a year. Like this is definitely one of those where it is like never in a million years would I have imagined this scenario for myself, but here I am. There are so many things like that in my life where looking back at them I see how things fit and how that came to be, but so many times before like I am now, I thought okay. . . how did I end up here? It is just kind of funny and I think sometimes God had a crazy sense of humor when He made my life plan, like He must've known somehow that I needed an extra spontaneous crazy life to keep me guessing all the time and on the ball. You know. . . but I am glad He didn't pick a boring life for me, but at the same time does God create people for boring lives? No, surely not.
It is really interesting too to note that I am not really scared or nervous about this trip. I just feel excited and good. I don't know if I am setting myself up to be let down, but for some reason my mind is like telling me, "don't worry, you'll going to love it, you aren't going to have problems making friends, etc. " Like I am ready for some surprises of course and some that I'll have to get through, but I am not worried at all, it is a super great feeling! I remember when I was about to go to Guatemala for six weeks being very nervous and worried and that didn't turn out bad. Maybe I am overconfident. . . . you think?
I have to say I have always been interested in the Lost in Asia blog and more recently the Crabby Rangoon blog that I have discovered this week from Lost in Asia. I don't really know them that well, but know who they are and it is amusing to me to read about how they are adjusting to Hong Kong. Ah, Asia it is a lot to look forward to, I can tell!

So, lately I have been realizing how much I use the word "like" in my posts, is this how I talk?
A bit. But nobody cares.
It will certainly make for some interesting English classes ;)
