From TN with Love

   It's raining today.  That's good since the gossip has been predicting about 6 to 12 inches of snow between Sunday and Tuesday morning.  I'm glad it was a light dusting so far.

  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!

The above photo is the Cheonan city region.  I'll be located somewhere in the red area.  I'll have a more accurate location by my next post.  I'm adding this wiki page and going to talk more about my experiences after the first few days. (  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheonan )

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.
