I want to get into Journalism, and yet...the blog I started just for kicks didn't have a single entry. So here I am and I'm going to try....again.
23 days until I go back to the U.S.. It's been one hell of a ride. A ride that I wouldn't trade in for anything. I've met people who have shaped me so well, I'm finally proud of who I am. I also met people( a choice few) who... let's just use a Korean phrase and say that the next time I meet them I will have an urge to -and I quote-"cut them open and use their insides for jump rope". But hey, they taught me about the person that I never want to be.
-later-
~Today I wore flip flops in the rain. Flip flops are the mascots of freedom, and wearing them in the rain is the epitome of happiness for me. Even with the random pieces of dirt and tree bark that get caught in your toes...at least they get to wiggle around.
~I love crossing my legs on the subway, bobbing my feet to music and having my flips act like drum pedals.
~Way back when in Driver's Ed, my teacher told us to drive barefoot(something about traction) and to keep a pair of black Old Navy flip flops under the driver's seat (something about bare feet driving being illegal). Ever since I have remained true to my school, except i choose AnF cobalt blues as my pair in crime.
~Flip flop- style high heels can also be comfy, actually. I have a pair(somewhere) of brown ones that I found in a Las Vegas thrift shop.
~Your mamma's so fat, she left the house in heels and came back in flip flops, by the way.
~I've purposely worn flip flops in the snow, on numerous, wonderfully adventurous occasions.
~It's 2:11 a.m. and I should go to bed.

we are the most honest when we are young...
desiderata
Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself.
Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love, for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.

...when we are alone...
...and when we are in love.
