Well it's been a rainy one for the last couple days and the weather report predicts it'll continue. I like the rain, or maybe its I prefer a change in the weather. Come to think of it, I just like change...sort of.
Work's flying by, the hours are like time-lasped blooming flowers in a nature documentary; beautiful but that much quicker to loosing their petals. Smooth days at work are great, but I know that my time will be up soon. Although I'm looking forward to my trip, I can't help but feel a bit of sadness knowing that soon I'll be leaving my friends, students and Korean life, all things that I've grown to love. It's a tough thing to get used to; knowing time is limited, knowing many of the people you spend time with you'll probably never see again. But as in the words of the late George Harrison and countless other enlighteneds, "all things must pass." The great thing about noticing the ticking hands of the clock is that I appreciate, value, acccept, borderline glorify the moments while they happen. Nostalgia's kicked in and I'm thankful. I'm not gonna except "you don't know what you've got till it's gone." I know what I got, I know what I want and I know what I won't have in about 3 1/2 months. Call it sentimental, call it fatalistic, call it whatever you wanna, but I'm gonna call it recognition.
Love you all,
Tyler James
