...Goodbyes...

Among many of my unskilled talents, I am horrible with goodbyes. If I can avoid those welling up tears, bulging eyes, endless huggy "when will I see you again" moments - Yes, sorry guys, you have found a fault. I am a professional escapist, at your service; tip toeing out like a ninja. I received an email today from my contact in Korea and she is flying me out this coming Tuesday, November 15th. The day has finally come, and at last I can quit my obsessive compulsive packing and repacking in efforts to have some organization to duffel bag chaos. Did it really help at all? No. But that doesn't stop the obsession.

I have all sorts of thoughts right now and as jumbled as they are, if I had to peg an adjective to scoop the heart out of this entirety - epic.

Enter a nervous chuckle as I sip my scalding corn tea, the HR Director of the school I am to begin teaching, gave me instructions on where to meet her. HA! Stranger to a new country and she says: find the limousine bus, and an hour and half later - get off at Daechidong Station, then presto she will be waiting at the stop for me. Sounds simple enough. What are the odds in a huge metropolitan city that there will be only one limousine bus in the entirety of Inchun Airport? Yes, I laughed too. Email - already sent.

Goodbye Seattle.
