Well, I felt it was appropriate for my Korea blog to remain a Korea blog, thus ending the life of "To Travel is To Learn." I enjoy reflecting on ideas and events that currently confuse or fascinate me, so the beginning of "Live and Learn" has commenced. This will be a place where I will share what is challenging me or causes me to think as I continue my education at SEMO. I am a firm believer in the philosophy that you never stop learning, life is a series of learning experiences. I hope I can entertain you as I share what I learn in my life.
For those of you who read my Korea blog, I left off with my surprise on Christmas Eve. I spent the first few days completely comatose at home. I was not allowed to drive since I was removed from insurance while I was gone meant that I could only leave when someone else was going somewhere. I also did not enjoy the same rebound to jetlag that I experienced in Korea where I took a two hour nap upon arrival and then ran around Seoul for the first time. Nope, I had no way to leave, so I napped....for at least 4 hours at a time. Ben began to think I would never recover. After four days, I finally began to sleep on a normal schedule and the family rejoiced. Over the last two weeks I have traveled through five different states visiting family in WV and Wisconsin. Like my immediate family, I surprised my extended family, which resulted in just as shocked reactions. Lots of laughs and home cooking!
I am now packing for my return to SEMO. I leave for school Monday and will live in the renowned Cheney Hall, one of the oldest buildings on campus. It is an upperclassmen dorm and is a much more quiet place than my freshmen dorm in the hub of campus. I am curious to see what has changed since I left.
