I have exactly 2 more weeks in Korea and I don’t really feel too sad because I kind of miss being in Seattle. I never thought I would say that much less feel that way. I do know that I will miss certain aspects of shopping here, but I do miss the prices back in the US. Some things are cheap while other things are expensive. I miss the availability of accessories here and how easy it is to buy something for your wardrobe. At the same time I don’t like the prices of the clothes here sometimes because of the quality. Some clothes are really cheap though and in general I like the style, though I like Japanese fashion a little bit more. It’s really uniform over here and I thought I wouldn’t see the wild side of Seoul.
I just had my presentation and the professor didn’t say anything so I’m kind of unsure what he thinks about it. hahaha.
I think I am alot happier than I was when I wrote lots of poetry. At the same time I wish I wrote more poetry. I think I was in a good point when I wrote poetry though. If that makes any sense. Sometimes I feel like the creative juices I had when I was younger have run dry and went somewhere else.
After going to church here and hearing about some churches back at home, I realized how conservative I really am. I am uncomfortable in those situations sometimes. Is it because I am spiritually immature? Perhaps. I feel like I always need to grow though. I don’t pray very easily with others and I feel like it should be. I don’t really know how charismatic elements are conjured and I know it comes from God somehow but I don’t know how comfortable I am with it because it isn’t pretty to me. I want God to be beautiful though. I am uncomfortable with manifestations and I am only getting used to people speaking in tongues. I think it is okay if it is done openly and without shame because it is for God’s glory. Otherwise I think it’s strange. Am I strange for thinking that? I am not totally sure.
All I know is that I love Jesus and I can only hope to continue to be faithful to him. I know I make mistakes and I can’t help it. I can only live through Jesus.
I think it would be awesome to go to Brazil someday. I know random, right? I also would like to go to Burma/Myanmar but it’s kind of unstable at the moment. Vietnam and Russia would be great too.
I’ve basically finished my goal list except for a couple things but I couldn’t go to the santa claus cafe because it disappeared. Things come and go so fast over here. If you see something you like here, like a bakery or a cafe it might be gone in a month if it doesn’t make any money so you better go there while you can.
Some reasons I didn’t like some Christian fellowships is because I felt like an outsider when I was a Christian myself. or it became boring. I hope that I will not feel like that anymore. I felt the presence of God but I felt that it didn’t reach me in such a high level. If that makes sense. haha.
I love TimTams. I heard you can even drink hot cocoa through a timtam. I’m not sure how you do it though.
