Crappy day! - Monday May 26, 2008

I had kind of a crappy day today...at school I was out of it and really didn't want to be there. This past weekend frustrated me in many way but is something I'm trying not to dwell on. I'm feeling more and more lately like I just need a break. I need a break from everything. This isn't necessarily a bad thing...it's simply something that I need to maintain my sanity. I love South Korea, but at the moment I feel like I need to get out. I need to move but be still simultaneously.

I love Korea...that's why I'm coming back next year. It's the same way I feel when I'm in the states for an extended period of time without travel...trapped.

Luckily visiting the orphanage put me in such a better mood. I find myself occasionally lackadaisical in the thought of going, however, when I get there, it's almost always a positive experience. We learned animals today. They drew pictures of their favorite animals, we did role playing where they drew a piece of paper with an animal name on it and they had to act it out, and we played Duck Duck Goose!^^ It's so great to hear them laughing and seeing them have fun. I love the kids there!!

Coming home was good too. I haven't been able to spend a lot of time with the host fam lately and it was starting to get to me. I'm trying to spend more time with them. We ate dinner together because I chose not to go to Yoga today. My Yoga and Jazz Dance classes are canceled this week all accept today, but I needed to relax. I will, however, still go to guitar lessons each day this week.

Oh, I got to talk to four of my best friends today which definitely helped remind me that I have people that care about me! I'm excited to see them this summer. Honestly, I was really hesitant for a long time about going home this summer...but I find myself looking forward to it more and more. It'll be nice to see family and friends!
