A Few Thoughts

I always seem to be writing these blog posts at night, but I thought I might share some of the things that I am thinking with everyone.

I am nervous as hell. Seeing as I am having a hell of a time figuring out the whole 'Korean tax exemption' thing plus making sure I bring all the right docs with me to the consulate, I am have this strange feeling in my gut that I am always needing to get something done. It reminds me of being in school and always having a sinking feeling that a test or project is coming up that I have done nothing for. That same gut feeling that you get when you know you aren't prepared and you hope what you are doing is preparing you properly for what is coming ahead.

I think this same sinking feeling is festering its way into my packing as well. I keep catching myself packing my suit cases as if I am going on a vacation. This is when I have to remind myself that I am packing to move to another country for a year. Granted, I will be able to buy things I need in Korea...but its all the little things that I have acquired over the past 5 years that I don't want to forget.

The realization that I am leaving for a year is also starting to sink in. I am starting to treasure the small things that I know I am going to miss. I don't know if people really ever appreciate Oklahoma until they leave it to live somewhere else. I am just speculating of course, seeing as I haven't lived anywhere else, but I would say it is a pretty valid speculation.

Well, those are just a few of the things I have been thinking about. For now, good night. We shall catch up later on more of my miscellaneous thoughts.

P.S. Played a World of Warcraft trading card game Onyxia raid today. Bringing a raid deck with me to Korea! Too much fun!
