12-30-2005 6:08 PM, Seoul, South Korea
So I'm sitting in Seoul, South Korea and I have an hour and a half before my next flight. It is currently 3:08 AM in the American Midwest and I have been awake for a full 24 hours now and I still have at least 6 more to go, if not more. My face feels gross, my hair looks worse, I think I ate something bad on the 14 hour plane ride from Atlanta to Seoul, and I'm sure I smell, though I'm wearing enough clothes to mask it for now. This is when I truly believe the saying "Travel is only glamorous in retrospect."
I'm starting to get a little nervous...I think the fact that I'll be there for a full three weeks is starting to sink in. One minute it doesn't seem like enough time at all, and the next minute I'm wondering what in the world will I do with myself. Or maybe I'm just wondering if my bag is going to make it...
