I can't believe that one of my best friends is actually here, living in Korea. How often does that happen? These past two weekends have reminded me how much I've missed Carly and our amazing random days. I now have someone here who knew me before Korea...someone who's part of my amazing circle of friends back home who know everything about me, including my insecurities, my flaws, and awkwardness. The ones who stood beside me during a low point in my life, and yet for some crazy reason still love me in spite of everything. The ease, comfort and happiness that I feel when I'm around them is indescribable. Everyone says they have amazing friends, but mine are truly keepers. I'm beyond happy that Carly's here...AND she came at the perfect time. Festivals, long weekends, and island getaways are just around the corner. I have three more months in Korea, and I want to drink in every single moment that I have left.
A little blurb I jotted down the other day:
The rainy season has passed, leaving behind clear skies and beautiful weather. After six months of teaching my four year olds, they have truly become "my babies," warming my heart constantly with their little smiles and sticky hands. Lately when I walk into class, my elementary students start cheering uncontrollably. Last night I hiked my mountain in the dark and enjoyed the serenity and solitude at the top with happy Koreans. For some reason, I've had an abundant amount of energy this week. I'm meeting Tara in an hour to smoke some delicious shisha...
I couldn't be any more in love with Korea.
