This is the End

I've had a love/hate relationship with Korea, but when it all comes down to it.... I've loved my time here and I wouldn't have taken it back for a second. I think it's starting to hit me just how huge this endeavor really was. The fact that it's all coming to an end, in less than 24 hours in fact, I'm getting emotional.

I'm not too proud to admit that I cried before coming to Korea. I was scared and nervous and continually wondering if I was making a huge mistake. While cleaning last night I started crying a little bit, likely it was partially to do with the fact that I'm a baby and hate cleaning, but mostly the tears were from pure sadness. I am really sad to leave all of this behind. At times it's been trying, but that's part of the experience. Not one day here was easy. I was never able to mindlessly wander through life, which to be honest, was exactly what I needed. I need to be challenged and Korea did just that. It just so happens after a year of it I am utterly exhausted.

I know that I had said I had a few more posts to put up, but I've decided to hold off. While I initially thought that this blog was a great way to keep everyone updated on what I was up to over here, I have now realized that when I go home I will have very few stories to tell. And as for my reflections on my experience, it's gonna take a little time, and a lot of distance to really figure anything out.

With that being said, I say farewell to this blog and I will see most of you very soon.
