Will little Noah tell me what I want?

So Korea is a weigh station for me. I wasn't ready to settle somewhere and make any decisions about the rest of my life, wanted to travel, and needed to make so money...so here I am. This was the last of my plans, and now I'm not sure what I'll be doing after this contracted year is up. I like it enough right now to consider another year, but miss home more than I thought I would. That's saying something since my circle of friends and family is so awesome. I've always had some sort of plan and am finding it hard to just be. Living in the moment entails considering my past and future, if I'm being honest with myself. I've realized that over the last few years I have lost touch with what I genuinely want....even vaguely. I've had dreams about my teeth falling out, about a beach that slips out from under me in an icy tidal wave and an assortment of other bizarre situations that make me think I'm trying to tell myself something. I just wish I could be clearer on what.

The cutest billy goats....errr...sheep.

I never thought I would love these little kids so much, but they have gotten to me. So much so, that after mulling over very depressing financial information regarding upcoming student loan payments, the only thing that could make me happy was to watch the preschool graduation videos. They're on Flickr, check them out! I can *almost* guarantee that you'll smile, but I'm biased.
