175 days

the new semester starts tomorrow, the immovable force called me twice yesterday but I didn't answer because my phone battery was dead because no one ever calls me in korea. cleaned my kitchen spotless for the first time in maybe 2-3 months, finally - but the rest of my apartment is still squalor. just the dishes took me 2 hours. i keep on cataloguing the things i'm not going to bring back to the u.s. with me, things i'm going to bag and box and have the salvation army pick up probably the week before i leave. i've hardly eaten anything but ramen since i got off the plane and then the bus over a week ago. i'm looking forward to school lunches for a change, they always serve ggakdugi and i've been craving ggakdugi for forever.


i can't be bothered to do anything (get a new alien registration card, go to the bank to transfer money, pick up my dry cleaning). this is the demotivation i wanted to get rid of with my vacation and vietnam and the celta, and i thought i had (i had! for those 5 weeks, i was really motivated!) but now that i'm back in korea nothing seems important anymore. whine, whine, whine. i wish my happiness was more self-centered and less dependent on my environment.
