About Me

In S. Korea for my second year. This WILL be the last one, should I even manage to finish it. I'm quite tired of this place -- I won't rant about why because it would be bitchy and probably not quite fair to Koreans since it would certainly contain sweeping generalizations about their culture in a HIGHLY negative way. Nonetheless, I'm going to try my best to make it at least until May. It's like being in a time-bubble living over here -- feels like my world as I knew it is on "PAUSE". I'm ready to un-pause it and get going again, but first I have to achieve my financial goals here. I can't wait to get back home though! In the meantime, I'll continue using my frustration with this country as fuel for my workouts -- that's the only fun I have here.
