Thoughts of a lone thinker.

Yesterday was a bit of a bum day. I found myself sulking for no reason, maybe even pouting a little bit. I know, I know, I'm juts being silly. But sometimes 'just being silly' is just what the doctor ordered I've decided. I have come to decide that I'm in a very small place in the world, slightly isolated from these wonderful Korean people, who chat to me as I walk past, but all I know is 'Hello', 'Thank you', 'Goodbye', and a few other phrases. Ask me a question and I panic! Tell me something and I cringe. I can't go around not understanding these people for as long as I'm here right? So last night I decide to visit livemocha, a website designed to help people learn different languages. I sit there, listening, watching, writing, thinking...I should be able to get this, come on, come on. If only there was a language school nearby that I could go to and learn the wonders of the Korean language. By no, where I live, in the middle of nowhere, there is no need for a big language school or even class to be set up. I know it'll take time, but I plan to learn it - I need to learn it. I feel a bit of a deep underlying need to understand and be understood.

I really can't complain! I've been here 2 weeks now, and I can read Hangeul (the Korean alphabet) for the most part. I have picked up words here and there. I just need more. I think that's why I was feeling all sulky last night. I think that's why I sit at home of an evening, not knowing what to do (thank God for Grey's).

I feel a need to clean. Is this normal? It's like I'm nesting. Waiting. And then I remember that this week a box should arrive. A box full of joy. This sounds silly, but it's true. Since I've been here, I've been living on clothes, a small stash of chocolate, my laptop and one or two other luxuries. I'm in need of my teddy, my books, DVDs, clothes and whatever else is in that box. Well, I don't need them, but it'd be so nice to have them.

Anyway, this is a pointless blog entry, but sometimes these are ok, right!?

Love, Kat x
