The 1 Year List

Double blog post!!!

Ok, so I haven't done a list-type of post since I first got here, so I figured now would be a good time to do another. Here are some notes of interest that I've experienced in the past year:

Food:

Tteokbokki is definitely my favorite food. It's crazy spicy, but oh-so-good.

Time Flies When You're Having Fun

1 year ago, I arrived in this beautiful country known as the "Land of the Morning Calm." I was feeling anything but calm that day. Nervous, anxious, excited, and a extremely tired--all of those things I was definitely feeling. I was embarking on a new point in my life; my first step into an actual career (not just a job to pay the bills) and a journey that would take me away from my family and friends who have been my support for years.

One thing you may or may not know about me: I don't like change.

Reinventing the reinvention. Or, Change.

Reinvent:1) to create anew and make over; 2) to bring back into existence

I think this adequately describes a lot of what I've been going through lately. I know that in my last post there was a lot of talk of change, and that did happen. But all too easily, I let myself slip back into my old pattern, and once again I found myself in a place I didn't want to be, even deeper than before.

This is tough, living out the life I feel God wants for me, when surrounded by things which are so easily a distraction to me. It's a lot more difficult than I can handle, more than I expected. And I can't do this on my own.

Grow Where You Are Planted

I've always loved that phrase. It guess it might have different meanings to people, but to me it means that no matter the circumstances, or where you are placed in life, you should make an attempt for growth and progress. Every situation is a learning opportunity. I've always believed that. The teacher side of me tries to instill that lesson in any person I encounter throughout life.

Korea has been full of opportunities for growth. But any situation where you are uprooted and moved 6000+ miles away from all you know is guaranteed to bring about growth. especially in these past few months, I've been learning a lot about myself.

Update!!!!!= Video Blog ftw!

Ok, so I fiiiiinally updated this thing. And look, it's a video post! Woot woot! Hopefully this will be my format from now on, and it'll be a whole lot more frequent.

My apologizes in advance for any rambling, and for mis-pronouncing your name Eva. I was pretty tired. So without further introduction: Video Blog #1!
