Leaving Thursday for Korea

While I'm overjoyed to finally have a day when I'm leaving, it came as a bit of a surprise that that day was going to be in a few days rather than something more like a week. I've been going crazy trying to finish off everything I have to do, but for the most part, my apartment is the hardest part because I just have way, way too much stuff, and I just don't seem to have the time it takes to get this stuff packed up or taken care of in some way.

There is so much I really feel I have to do, but there's an inner part of me that just wants to say screw it and leave everything, starting off in Korea with absolutely nothing from before. Great fantasy, but that leaves a lot of stuff here that won't be taken care of. Can't really do that, as much as I'd like to do that.

I leave early Thursday afternoon, but I intend to be at the airport waiting for a long time because I'm not going to jeopardize this adventure by being late for my flight, like had happened with the flight to Michigan where I was pretty much guaranteed a job at Hillsdale College when missing my flight screwed up my future job. I was so pissed when that happened, and I so did not want that to happen,

So, I really don't know how Korea is going to be, but I want to make the best of it. That's really all I can do. I want to do well. I want to come away from the experience feeling that I did something constructive. I haven't been all that constructive over the last decade or so. This is my chance to feel like I'm putting myself back on the right track again. So I have to do my best at making that happen.

Well, that's all for now. I will have access to a US phone number for the time being, although it will not be my cell phone. So, if you want to leave me a message (not sure when I'll actually have a phone hooked up to it, but I can still get messages through another means), my contact after Thursday will be 415-513-5471.
