I can't believe that it's already mid June. I thought I'd be desperate to make time move faster so July would get here but as it turns out, I have just over two weeks to wait. I'm a little anxious at this point. I know this because I've started to have these ridiculous dreams. They go into overdrive when big events are coming up. There was one in which I was told I'd have to perform Thriller all by myself at my friend's wedding reception and another in which I was thrown into the drumline (by an admissions counselor) and had to play the snare for a competition. I don't know how to play the snare... nor did I have the appropriate uniform. I know they have nothing to do with Korea but the underlying feeling of anxiety and lack of being prepared is definitely there. My subconscious is wonky.
In all actuality, I think I'm doing pretty well as far as preparations go.
- Passport, check.
- Airline tickets, check.
- Insurance, check.
Those are the important things. Everything else is pretty secondary. I need to get a few gifts. Pack appropriately (I have a terrible tendancy to overpack so this will be a challenge). I'll have a camera and my laptop. No cell phone though, so if you'd like to chat you'll either have to A) wait or B) get a Skype account.
There is a 13 hour time difference, by the way. Ex: Noon on the East Coast = 1 am the next day in Seoul. We can plan accordingly :)
So here's what I know. On July 2nd, I hop an 8 am flight from BWI to Newark. From there, I get on another plane, this time heading to Tokyo, Japan. I think it's roughly a 15 hour flight. I have a little bit of a lay over in Japan. During that time hopefully I do not get lost. Then I have a short plane ride from Tokyo to Seoul, arriving around 9 pm on July 3rd and effectively losing an entire day of my life. Wrap your head around that. It's weird.
But it's a good thing I enjoy air travel.
