M-Day

M-Day is getting increasingly closer... that is, Move Day. First it was March, then last December, now early December. Mostly a good thing, though sad to leave good people and roller derby. Tonight I have John Meyer's "Neon" in my head, I think the "always buzzing like neon, neon" resonates with my mental state lately.

Last week hubs and I visited a friend's trusted Korean fortune-teller (a common practice for couples starting to date) with a translator, which was odd and funny and interesting. She was way off on things like us living in Korea for years, never living apart (deployment) and such, but told me that the shape of my nose and forehead predicted I would run my own business someday. "You're the boss!" she said several times. I have to say I like the idea (I mean, who doesn't) but now have to figure out how/if that works in the next phase of life. Packing, moving, farewell parties, planning next steps. Here goes!

Vocab of the day: 
Korean: 두목 (doo-mog?)= boss
Military: BOSS = Being on Ships Sucks (probably not an official acronym, but the internets told me so...)

Korean captive

I found an article that perfectly encapsulates how I feel right now, "Stockholm Syndrome." Not that Korea has exactly been a terrible captor, but now that we're drawing into the final weeks, everything here seems so fantastic, so easy, so cool and international. How can good 'ol home compete?

I'm trying to cram in every last experience, coffee with friends, restaurant and remote attraction, not to mention the productivity that I may never have time for again once work comes calling.



No Korean or military jargon of the day... too busy! ;)
