Intermisson

It's been about 11 days since I left Korea. Leaving Mokpo and a year of memories there was the easy part. I made numerous friends and memories in my year of teaching there. I learned to live on my own, to rely almost entirely on my decisions. It provided a year long life lesson.

The hardest part was leaving Jaeeun behind. I have known her for nearly four months, it seems like she was there in Korea the whole time with me. She lifted my spirits when they were down and she still does to this day of course. We have a bumpy road ahead. It will be another three months until I get to see her face to face again. She will come to the USA at the beginning of June and will spend almost two months with me and my family. We will travel across the Western States to cities like Seattle, LA, Las Vegas and see sights like the Oregon Coast, camping in Idaho, Disneyland and the Grand Canyon. In the mean time we have Skype, Kakaotalk and Facebook. I bought an iPod touch just so I could Kakaotalk (free texting app) with her.

This isn't the end for my time in Korea. I plan on returning in July or August for another year. I am currently in Idaho working on my GRE, TEFL and learning some more Korean.

Jaeeun always seems to make the simplest statements resound the strongest in my heart and soul.

"We can do it"

"We are strong"

I love you J

I will see you soon.

Korea,

We are not done.
