Exams are done! Yay! I'm so extremely excited that school is over. The past few weeks have been really, really tough. I think I've come to the conclusion that I'm a poor student. Or maybe it's just that studying Korean isn't extremely interesting. I love being able to speak Korean so studying it is just a means to an end. Would I be a better student if I was fascinated by the subject? I think, yes. But would I burn out anyway? Dunno. I'm afraid of the answer. One things for sure, I am a way better teacher than I am a student. As a teacher I can study for hours. As a student I'm a serious slacker. Isn't that strange?
Anyway, now that school is finished, I'm going to spend the next few days packing up my apartment for another move. This will be the fourth time I've moved in a year. But actually, two of the previous moves don't count because I wasn't really going to be living where I was moving to. What I mean is, those moves were from temporary housing to more temporary housing. I was sort of homeless for six months.
My life feels so transitory. Everything is constantly up in the air. I think I'm getting used to it. I'm going to be in the States for two to four months, living with my parents, traveling around trying to raise support. I keep thinking I'm going to be visiting them but really I'm going to be living with them. Two months is not a short little visit. Neither is four months. I need to change how I think about things. Where ever I go, I need to make my life there my own. I need to claim my schedule, be proactive and do what needs to be done.
