In my first 24 hours back in Texas:
I had Japanese for lunch and then we went to a huge Korean grocery store... yes being back is like I never left.

You Stay Klassy, Korea
Korea,
Before I go. I just wanted to thank you for a few things. Thank you for:
Before I go. I just wanted to thank you for a few things. Thank you for:
- adorable little children who, despite being terrors at times, amaze me with their innocence, intelligence, and ability to always see the bright side.
- your amazing public transportation. I know I've missed my car, and I'll be able to drive to my heart's content, but I'm sure that after a month of having to fight road rage and pay for a month's worth of gas I'll come back to the buses and subways of Seoul Metropolitan Transportation with open arms. Consider this a preemptive gracias.
- being able to justify my copious amounts of Starbucks and Coffee Bean by presenting us with both at every street corner.
- embracing Western culture so that I (hopefully) won't fully gorge myself on things like fast food and junk food. I can get my fix of that right here, already!
- the adjussis and adjummas that huddle in groups at bus stops and in front of family marts, they share their laughter and chuckles unknowingly with a quiet observer.
- the friends who have come, gone, and come back again.
- the friends who have stayed.
- the friends who I've only met this time around.
- alright, also thanks for not completely sucking during World Cup.
- keeping the mosquitoes at bay for this long. You can take care of this situation while I'm gone.

can't sleep
It's 5:20 am... I've been up for a little over an hour.
I didn't have any trouble falling asleep but as soon as my eyes opened (while it was still dark) they wouldn't shut. I'm pretty tired but Casey the Cat and I seem to be wide awake. I had a lot of thoughts going through my head but I mostly thought about being back in Texas for a whole month.
The thoughts running through my mind in no particular order:
Will I have to use my mom's (my old) blackberry as a cell phone? would it be possible to only communicate via facebook chat?What am I gonna eat first? Shall I plan all subsequent meals?
I'm gonna get to drive my car! Barnes and Noble! I can go to Sunstone Yoga whenever I want.
I need to look up the price for a month membership at Sunstone Yoga. What will I do with the people I'll see? Will Bosie remember me? Aw Bentley. Will I feel really old when I get back to Dallas? Food Network, Big Brother, VH1, E!, Bravo... What do I need to pack? How should I combat jetlag (I can't even have a good night's sleep here!)? I am seriously getting excite with all the Tostino pizza I'm going to eat. Braums. Good/Real Tex Mex. Seeing my mom and dad. Am I gonna cry at the airport? NEW ORLEANS! Getting to see family and finally meeting my cousin's sons! Getting down to Austin to see the girls. Shopping malls! Oooh Cinnabun.
I have a feeling I am going to have a few more nights like this... Unfortunately, this won't be all too entertaining for you, dear reader.
What do you look forward to when going home?
