A Great Farewell






Well This will be my last post before I leave for Seoul on Friday. This past weekend was my "farewell" party where I hung out with my friends and family at the Irish Times Pub, had some good food at my house, and then went to my brother Bry's with everyone and had a campfire until the wee hours of the morning. It was quality stuff.


Right now I'm off to meet my family to "break bread" one last time before I leave for this logically expert yet crazy journey I have gotten myself into. The airlines said I can bring 2 fifty pound bags and a carry on. I'm going to be living over there for a year so that's like putting "me" into a lunchbox. I'm wishing myself luck.

The rest of the week has been bittersweet. Saying goodbye to everyone and knowing that I will not see them for a long time. I'm keeping strong, and I know that a phenomenal world changing, life adjusting, crazy Korean adventure awaits me. Seoul is my oyster and I plan to schuck it. No, I said schuck it.
