Oh the places you'll go

I think that book can also be listed as a secondary motto to my life. Hopefully. Anyway like I said Ive just been here collecting dust waiting for the time to pass. Until an old light bulb flickered on. One that is familiar. One that says life is what you make of it. Often times I think what makes a new place so beautiful is that its new. Just like when a man cheats on his wife whom he loves with an unknown new woman. shes exciting simply because she is new. Or when you get a new doll for christmas and you throw your old doll aside for a minute simply because shes new. I even had a teacher Mr. Evans once who told me back when I was an over achiever not to reread my paper a million times because after a while it will sound boring to me just because its not new. A wise woman once said," familiarity breeds contempt". So Ive decided to turn to good ol' GA and look at her with new eyes as I once did. I realize the small things count and if I can just capture a few maybe itll feel new like it once did. Thats my mission for the upcoming week. Capture my city and make it new. I loved atlanta once down to the bone. I loved the bruntess of its people, the indepence that the city forced upon you, the strength of the people to make a way out of no way and to even host a college whose motto is "find a way or make one". I loved the ice cream truck that was actually a family van with stickers on it.I loved the jagged back roads, the festivals that lined the streets in the summer. All the good eateries and little shops made out of a table and cooler or some old storage space. I even loved it down to the stanky smell that floated across your nose in the summer when you walked downtown of must from all the bumbs sweating in the park. It let you know that someone wa always around. I even love the aggressive men who only wanted to know your name but would make you feel like a dime on your worst day by the way they harrassed your ass. Yup Good ol' Atlanta. Well hers a couple to start well see what I have by the end of the week to compare to when I go away.

Well what is there to say really. I read through a million blogs and I realize that a million and one words arent really interesting but the interesting part hasnt really started yet. Its like im just waiting for my time to be finished here in school. As things are winding up I feel the pressure slowly creeping on like a pillow in the hand of a homicidal lunatic. It is slowly pressing down, suffocating me... slowly but most definetly surely. My professors just started holding class and informing us of what we have to do 2 weeks ago. I only have 6 weeks left. I dont have nearly enough pictures, time, energy or money to do what needs to be done. Im realizing thst damn Ima need some funds. I have an Interview with Appletree recruiting tonight at 10pm my time. Ini told me that it will be 11am Monday in Korea time when she calls me as well as some other tips for negotiating pay. I have an interview with the Canadian International school in Seoul. I hope this is the one. An international School will be excellent on my application.
I had recently begun to get nervous because of all of the trouble between North Korea and South Korea. Many Asians that I have spokent to weather be from Vietnam or South Korea or where have you arent worried because they've been threatening for years. I feel that this could be the time that they're tired of talking. So I was looking up spanish seaking countries as it was my first love. I've been keeping up to date by reading the Korean herald but I hope Im just over exaggerating the worst. At least Ill be in a city that the american Embassy and army bases spread all around it. Ill only be gone for a year anyway. So hopefully theyre not coming after tall African american girls and I should be fine. So Im still down for an adventure. Whew... Im glad I got that off my chest it was really getting to me. On a better note. Heres my new hair do.
