| its interesting how expectations about life are not often met, and how dreams change with time.
Im not trying to be quasi-philosophical.
its just an observation.
i havent figured out whether it's mature to simply accept the changes
or try to fight them. my instinct is to wring from life
everything i want no matter what the cost to myself or to anyone else.
part of me wants to run away and go on some adventure. i know
that it probably sounds foolish (and maybe a little bit greedy?)
for someone living in a foreign country to say that. am i not having an
adventure?
anyways
my korea experience is drawing to an end, and i doubt highly i will
have the opportunity to come back. Course after my japan experience i
never thought id be back in asia. But here i am-- back. but in less
than three weeks im going to be on a plane to Rome to see my girlfriend
and then spend a couple of days in Ireland with her. after that i
dont know what im going to do.
ive got some big decisions coming up. Damn its easy to not think
about them when theyre 5 months away and youve got sooo much time.
and then its april, and i realize ive only got one month for decisions
that could have a huge impact on my life. i will be the first to admit.
Ive done a lot of escapism the last month. I cant see a solution
if i dont get into grad school and ive got no prospects and no interest
in doing anything but teaching.
oh well
i havent yet heard back from either Boston University or Marquette about grad school.
Im planning on applying to Northeastern and maybe Seton Hall thrown in there.
I just desperately need to get back into school.
It's where im happiest. It's where i belong.

| im going to let the previous post stand as a monument to the general
deviousness and untrustworthiness of my girlfriend. It hurts, this
breech of trust. I'm not gonna lie.
Im wounded, as with a monotonous langour.
As hurt as I am, however
I won't make broad generalizations about deviousness being a female trait.
But I want to.
in other news
business is looking good. Really good. As in, Im not quite to where I think I can be, but im getting close.
My goal was to save 10k before i leave in May sometime.
I think (and hope and pray)
that I can get to 15k.
that would be so much more enormously helpful.

| Financial aid deadlines are coming for grad school applications and
panic is starting to set in. Applying to grad school is hard
enough let alone trying to do it from across the Pacific. So far
Ive only completed one. ONE!!
dear lord in heaven....
anyways
My friend's business is really taking off. Sometime in the near future
there is going to be a meeting with the Ministry of Education and the
Ministry of Broadcasting in Seoul. This could mean BIG things for
my roommates, the company, and of course, myself, since my name has
officially been added to the charter.
Residual income 4tw!
In other news, two of my friends are getting married down at Jinju City
Hall. It'll be like a little TESOL (my first trip to Korea) reunion.
