The upcoming 6 months of my life might require a decent camera… and a blog…

"People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
Maya Angelou
"You can't connect the dots looking forward. You can only connect them looking backwards, so you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something-your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever-because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart, even when it leads you off the well-worn path, and that will make all the difference. "
"I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did."
"Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice, heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."
"Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart."

Robert Downey Jr. to be a father again
Robert Downey Jr’s wife Susan Levin is pregnant. The couple - who have been married for six years - are set to welcome the new addition to their family in February, 37-year-old Susan’s aunt has revealed. Nancy Miller told America’s Star magazine: “I think it’s wonderful that she’s pregnant. “The baby is due in February. Susan’s father, my brother, called me about three weeks ago with the good news. Her parents are over the moon about it. “It [doesn’t] really matter if it’s a boy or a girl. What really matters is that the baby is healthy.”
Congrats to my most favoritest couple on earth D;](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqsj6emjIb1qd3mnqo1_500.jpg)

I need to stop piercing my ears
i lost count of how many i got done this summer
the first 2 i got done at Mini Gold
but they freaking pierced them DIAGONALLY DOWNWARD and it was so ugly that i had to take them out after like 3 hours… NEVER going to Mini Gold again
then i got 4 done at… Lloyd i think
3 of them were just fine, but i didn’t like one of them so i took that out… went to Coex to get that one re-done…
and i actually really liked all of them, but then i had to take them out because of my x-rays (eff you x-rays…)
then… i think i went to Coex again but a different store for 3
and this time they decided they wanted to pierce them DIAGONALLY UPWARD tah-effing-dah so i took them out AGAIN
then i went to Lloyd again yesterday
and they pierced them too high
what. the. hell. man.
and now my poor ears are bleeding, bruised and scarred…
next Tuesday i’m going to a PROFESSIONAL piercing shop in front of Hongik Univ. with my friends, and if they can’t get it right, i freaking give up
1:48 a.m. in Seoul and…
I was just looking back on all those writings that I spilled onto my blog this time last year: about Llion, about Seoul National University, the rejections, the feelings, the dreams… Gosh, everything seemed so romantic back then. Or maybe it’s just time smoothing out all the rough edges. Nevertheless, I couldn’t help but be thankful to myself for writing all those thoughts and feelings down. They help me remember how I am here today, who I am here today. And it inspired me to return to that time and write a post this late night.
Friends from the States are visiting Korea a lot this particular summer. Probably because most of them graduated high school this year and are coming to see their families before they venture of the strange college-land. Meeting up with them, just talking about the past, catching up on trends in America, hearing where they’ll be going to school for the next 4 years, seeing how they’ve changed… this all makes me think a lot. It makes me think of that one craaaaaazy time when I decided I wouldn’t go to New York for art school, that one insane whim, that one impossible chance that I decided to take, that one unidentifiable desire, that one ridiculous dream. That one crazy decision that made all the difference.
Did I make the right choice? Do I regret making that decision?
Of course not. I love it here every second, every day.
I work at Llion now. I find that so fascinating. All those teaching assistants that breathed on my neck, telling me that I was doing everything wrong, all the while somehow fueling my fire instead of dampening it; I’m one of them now. I look at all the students and just wonder; wonder if they feel what I felt, wonder if the girl sitting in the seat I used to sit in will get accepted this year. I feel so young and unprepared to teach other people, yet I wonder if my teachers felt just as unready and unsuitable for the job.
I remember when I was a little girl, high school students and college students were like creatures from another race. They were undoubtably ‘adults.’ No matter how childish or immature they were, they were still ‘adults’ to me. It fascinates, yet scares, me when little kids who are the age that I used to be look at me with eyes that seem to think the same thing. I wonder where all my ‘adults’ are now, what they’re doing. I wonder if these little kids will think the same exact things as they look into eyes of little kids when they are ‘adults.’ It scares me that this cycle has happened millions of times before mine, and will happen millions of times after mine.
