Why so serious?
NJ in the fall. Soccer. Football games. Hooded sweatshirts and hot cocoa. Thanksgiving. NYC.
Friends. Family. Stupid stories. Crazy adventures. Laughter. Heart-to-hearts.
Your voices. The face-to-face. The rapport.
Most of us are held together only by this blog. That’s not enough for me but I’ll take it.
Eventually Korea will only be a memory. I plan to make it a good one.
The reality of it all is that even when I’m home, the pieces of my heart are spread from coast to coast and across the globe.
While I love the adventure, I must accept the distance. And I know that it takes its toll.
I’m missing out on a lot. Yet if I never left I feel I’d miss much more. And so it goes.
For anyone who has ever come into my life, there was reason.
To those who have remained, you add color and perspective where most have sifted through.
While I wouldn’t call myself homesick, for I am not, from time to time I have moments such as these. When I appreciate what I have left behind.
It’s a happy kind of sad.
So to all of you who read my blog, write me on facebook or in emails, or have simply made your presence known, I thank you.
I might add that Friday will be ten weeks in Korea. And I’ve not heard from ten of you. Again I implore you to get skype.
While you are not, I am hurting having not talked. You know it hurts me not to talk. haha. (had to ruin the moment didn’t I?)

Well, here’s a quick description of fall in South Jersey this year – it got hella-cold really fast, snowed, got hot, then a storm knocked all the leaves off the trees in one night. Now it’s cold again – but the ‘bucks rolled out their holiday latte flavors, which takes the sting of the freeze away a little bit. 😛
You know Nora, I could go for a nice peppermint hot chocolate south jersey style. Just you, me and the ‘bucks. What time are you getting in? (RIIIGHT.)
As for your description, yup, sounds like New Jersey to me!
Thanks for your lovely commentary. It keeps me goin’ amidst these Asian folk.
PS I wonder if the Koreans are having any festive flavors out here? Yes, we have Starbucks but it’s just not the same. It’s cheaper. hehe.
i’d imagine the starbucks out there would have something wacky, like bbq-flavored coffee. just sayin’. 😛
actually, i take back the “wacky.” that sounds pretty good to me right now….
so i’m commenting on your blog.
it just made me really appreciate being here.
and i got skype and you love me.
You know Brittany that was a nice comment and you should appreciate this site and you DID get skype and you know I DO love you!!!

Nora,
you should probably come to Korea if for nothing else than to satisfy your cravings!
It’s snowing this morning! (Nov. 21)
