The Beginning of the End

Well, boys and girls, here it is. The countdown to the end of my time in Korea finally begins.

I had been planning on leaving this March for a while but sometime this spring I thought it would be better if I signed another contract. The other night, I was looking at job listings and was seriously unenthusiastic. Then, my flatmate popped into my room to tell me that he's leaving in March, moving to Istanbul because he wants to be with his girlfriend. That's when it hit me, I really really really really didn't want to be here another year, all the money in the world wasn't worth it, and I wanted to go home.

So I'm going home!

My contract is finished on Feb. 28th, I get my last paycheck on March 10th, and I am flying out on March 11th. I have a little less than 5 months to go and I am busy making lists and beginning the moving process and it's all very very exciting.

I kinda wish I had known last spring was going to be my last spring in Korea. There were things I would have made more of an effort to do and see but ah well. Though I've loved my time here, I'm ready to go.
