In Over My Head???
Part of why I've been able to (mostly) keep my cool with this move to Korea is that I've been assured repeatedly by the school I'll be working for that my new roommate will be meeting me at the airport, showing me around, making sure I know how to get everything I need, etc. Sort of like a personal tour guide. Easy Peasy.
So imagine how much my anxiety increased when I got an email today stating that I wouldn't have a roommate for the first 6 months of my stay! I've lived in the Valley for about 10 years now, and I still get lost in my own neighborhood! I'm totally doomed to be wandering endlessly through the city of Seoul (if I can even get myself there from the airport!!), trying desperately to find my way from bar to bar...
Though I must admit, not having a roommate will be nice. No one will continually put my Jiffy peanut butter in the fridge (ever try to spread cold peanut butter?), send me email reminders about cleaning the house, eat all my reduced fat Cheez-Its and not replace them...hint, hint, QNL!!
In a Nutshell....

You don't mind waving your freak flag every once and a while.
And lucky for you, most people find your weird ways charming! |
It's surprisingly right on...though I'm trying to get a handle on the 'emotions influencing everything I do' part.
Today has just been one of those days where nothing is falling into place. You know the kind where you spend 20 minutes looking for your car keys only to realize they were in your hand the whole time, take the extra trouble to dig out the travel mug for your coffee, then leave it on the kitchen counter anyway, etc., etc.? Today is like a bad version of opposites day for me. Everything is upside down, backwards, facing the wrong direction. Even the ghetto streets of Allentown were all one way when I needed to go in the other direction. I'm normally a pretty patient person, but lately I've been a little stressed/emotional so my patience level has totally reached it's breaking point. I feel like drinking, but it's only noon and that would make for a very long night indeed. Someone tell me a joke, say something funny, do something to cheer me up and get me out of this awful funk...
I LOVE THE LVH3!!
Man, do we have fun when we all get together. And check out the top picture, at Beaver Fever and Ateapuss' wedding, proof that we clean up rather nicely, too! Saturday is my last hash with this group and it's going to be an awesome time. As much as I can't wait, I almost don't want it to arrive because then it will be over. I hope the Seoul H3 know what they're getting themselves into, adopting the likes of me! Click the LVH3 link on the right for details, and try to stop by.
