It Burns...

So, I have been watching a lot of movies lately and have noticed a recurring theme...
In the movies, most of the characters have been "losers"...
Here's the scary part...
Everything that they say/do, I can see myself doing...
Does this mean that I am also a "loser"?
I have just been wondering...
The things they say and do are completely hilarious/normal to me...
Yikes?
Also, I think about Jesse Pickott every day and talk about him like he is dead...

Do You Know Your Dad's Birthdate?

Currently, I am sitting in the dentist's office...
Ugh...
Gotta get a filling (hopefully no more than one) before I leave...
Which leads me to my next point...
I found out when I am leaving...
February 4th...
I guess that will put me in over there late on the 5th or early on the 6th...
Something like that...
I still have to go to the Korean Consulate in Atlanta and get my visa...
Bo-ring...
After they break my jaw here and give me bionic teeth, I think a trip to Starbucks is in order...
UPDATE:
I am now finishing this post at Sarah and Natalie's house...
Might I say, I love them...
Also, I don't have to get a filling...
Hurray!

New Slippers: Check; Digital Camera: TBA

Ok, so here's the deal...
Like many other nights, I am sitting in my car on campus leeching the school's wi-fi...
The school now has my transcript, and I got a new passport photo taken today by the lovely people down at the local Walgreens and have typed up a handy dandy list of "Christian activities" that I have done/participated in over the last 5 or so years...
That being said, I am one step closer to getting on a plane...
The administration is apparently trying to get me a missionary visa, which will last one year instead of three months like a tourist visa...
This means once I get it, I will not have to leave the country halfway through the semester in order to renew...
Which will be great when that day comes, but as for now, it is keeping me stuck in Cleveland...
Feeling disconnected from life here, I naturally want to vacate ASAP, but I am trying to be patient and enjoy my last days with good friends and family...
So, it takes roughly a week or 10 days to get my visa confimation number, then I have to go to a Korean embassy, which will be a long, frustrating day...
Maybe one day, people will read this blog...
Maybe...
I know Mom is...
Thanks, Mom...
You've done a good job over the years...
Well, world...
Time to try and be sleepy...

A 192-Page Marathon

Welp...
I guess since I signed up for this thing, I might as well use it...
I know I am not in Korea yet, but I figure this is quasi-cathartic/contemplative/emotionally beneficial, or whatever you want to call it...
So, for the time being, all of these will be about stuff I have done/thought about/experienced in Cleveland...
Today, my dear friend Jesse left for a two-and-a-half month hop across the pond to Cambridge...
I guess that means I won't see him until July (when I get back)...
Ugh...
This afternoon involved some tears on his part, and this evening on mine...
Just before he left, he gave me a copy of Tuesdays with Morrie, and today I went to Starbucks and ended up reading the whole thing...
Hence, the tears...
Anyways, Jesse, if/when you make your blog, just know that the book was phenomenal, and I took away some lessons/principles that I will hopefully implement in a long-term fashion...
Presently, I am trying to get my transcript to the principal at the school, so that I can get my visa number and bounce...
I will keep you updated on how this goes!
XOXO

Ahem... Ahem... Testing...

Why yes, mom, I will make a blog so you can read it and cry after I go far away...
I love you, Mom...
I love you, Dad...
I love you, Brock...

XOXO
