everything's breaking down...one at a time...

sooooo... i'm back from the motherland!  and let me tell you.... i am effin' glad to be back. perhaps not excited to come back to 300 some new work emails and a crapload of mail to sift thru, BUT it's nice to be able to wear whatever i want to wear and do what i wanna do again. There's was lots of eating, shopping, bickering, watching korean dramas, and more eating.   I got so sick of shopping one day, I forced the rest of my family to go to Min Suk Chun, the traditional Korean village.  It was a nice learning environment and I had fun, although my Mom thought otherwise. (it was pretty cold tho, I must admit) It was good to be with the whole family for a couple weeks and create more inside jokes and memories, but also trying at the same time. actually, I think my family just made fun of me most of the time...what can i say.. i am the middle child.

anyways, i left 2006 in a panick and began 2007 in chaos, but things have now settled, applications have been sent in and now i can create new journeys and goals.  

2006, I was blessed with...
- new groups of friends
- closer groups of friends
- trying out something new & sticking to it
- a better understanding of myself
- promotion
- taking my gmats and finish applying for schools
- living thru house selling/buying chaos
- many, many interesting events

in the end, there were many joyous, tragic, painful and life-changing events among me and my friends & family that have made this year very memorable.  looking back you think to yourself, "wow, i did all that in 2006?!?"

2007, I'll be...
-doing a lot of house renovating (if anybody wants to hit up ikea with me :) )
- looking for jobs and apt in NYC (if anyone knows of any cheap places to live... pleeeease feel free to let me know)
- making new friends hopefully
- being better about keeping in touch with old friends hopefully
- and, well, just hoping this year is less chaotic than this past year...u know, figure out what you wanna do with your life kinda stuff... seems like it's always changing on you. 

look forward to it. :)

ok, so who else is going to Korea during winter break?  I'm so excited now.  I'll be there from the Dec 27th to Jan11th.  Yes, I will be celebrating the new year in the motherland with family and friends.  Should be grreat! 

ok, I am determined to finish these essays and apps before I leave.  I must.  God, just give me brillant ideas to write about.  sigh.  writing eloquently about yourself is hard.  especially under pressure.

daehanmingook!!! 

what a tiring past couple weeks.  I feel like i'm going to pass out every day when i get home.
