hiatus.

In twelve days I am leaving the country.  Not for a short and glamorous vacation but for an entire year.  My resume says that I will be living in Western Seoul, teaching English to affluent Korean children in a private academy.  The truth of my story will come out as my experience is enacted in the small moments that constitute a life.  I could list adjectives for hours in an attempt to convey a sense of my inner state over this impending  adventure.  In only three words I am: excited, terrified, conflicted.  Much like that irritating yet apt phrase, "the only constant is change", my only certainty is that this experience will have a profound yet undefined effect upon me.  For now, I can only wonder what that will be.
