For those who don't know, mostly for my own benefit, my flight to Korea leaves at 8 A.M from the Nashville airport (BNA). Dad will be driving tomorrow morning since Mom's working. We intend to hit the road at 5 A.M. .... possibly earlier if we're restless. I wish Mom didn't work night shift, so I'll give her big hugs and maybe kisses before leaving. (She's been sick and I had a two week long cough earlier this month)
I get so excited before most trips that I'm unable to sleep the night before. I woke up around 8 A.M. today when my girlfriend text me "Good Morning." I slept around midnight Sunday, which means if I don't sleep then I'll be awake for almost two days and that not counting the wait times.
The last time I attempted such a feat, I felt bad for my roommate, Seung-Il, because I was completely incoherent when he picked me up for UIP . I'm certain my employer, or whoever is picking me up, will understand. No, I'll definitely try to rest by 10 P.M. or earlier. Sleeping on planes allude me. It's not a fear of flying, the seats are too uncomfortable and I love all the early released movies. One day they'll upgrade me to first class!
When I went to Korea last August, I expected to leave my phone off the whole trip, but curiosity got the better of me and I checked to see if I got a last minute message after shut off. To my surprise, the phone connected to the airport WI-FI and my lovely lady later told me to give it a try for the remainder of the trip. I hope it wasn't a fluke on Verizon's behalf because I'm trying this again until switching carriers.
I'll miss you ***-8455 (AKA Vill, German for Will). Now I remember I should add a parent to my Verizon contract in order to close it in the coming weeks.... nice.
It's been about three weeks since I quit Wally-world. I miss my co-workers, but it's been such a relief to sit back and chill. Those 1-10 PM shifts were killing me, among other things. Other than enjoying my Netflix until it cancelled and researching teaching ideas; I spent my time visiting friends and family before I leaving, going to movies, board game nights, karaoke and appreciating those I'm going to miss. (TRULY sorry to those I could not see before leaving. I've mostly been sitting tight doing nothing so I'd be well off when I arrive).
Here's the Tripod singing at a Noribang in Atlanta. Singing rooms are the best!
I know I wanted to vent about driving back to Georgia after returning the past week but it wasn't too bad. I'm just thankful I did and wouldn't change a thing even if it was foolish. Because of that trip, my work Visa arrived Thursday; which meant I could finally book a ticket and leave. I've been packed for over a week. The school permitted me to come for orientation and training the 22nd but made the mistake (or fortune) in saying I could come in on the 17th or 18th. I'm excited and scared at this dream opportunity. Pray for me, peeps.
I had a lot more to say in this post, but everything is beginning to blur together. I need a snack. Heh!
I'll write more soon. Thanks to all those I've seen and to those I could not I'll send post.
<-- I swear this mermaid is my doppelganger. :P
