So what have I done since graduation (May 16)?

A whole lot of nothing.

Not that I'm complaining. I am well aware that this is pretty much the last time in my life that I can do nothing and get away with it. Think about it: Come August, I'll be in Korea. I'll be away from my family, friends and life as I have known for the last 25 years. The future holds only more responsibility and goals. I have a colossal student debt looming over my head for the next ten years, prospects of a master's degree, and a face to take home to someone's mother. All of this and I still can't speak Korean like a champ.

What am I going to do? What should I do to prepare for this future of mine? Should I study more? Should I restrain my heart and vow to live in solitude until love finds me?

Well, no. I've been a busy little bee doing nothing. Just meeting up with friends, hanging out my my roommate 순, working out like it's going out of style, and playing plenty of Left4Dead. Oh sure, I've studied a little bit. I've made a few videos. I've visited my old school. I've slept at the 찜질방 in Dallas. So, no, nothing of particular importance.

But you know what? I'm okay with it. In keeping with the whole "no regrets" approach to life, I'm having fun. Sure, I still have nightmares of just exactly how I'm going to make all my student loan payments (read: November 16 2009 marks the end of happy times) but I just try to sit back and listen to my mother's voice telling me that so long as I do what I need to do, everything will work out in the end....of course, then I hear my brother's voice: "Two words, Matthew: Sugar. Momma."

Other than all that, I'll be in Chicago this weekend. Then, after one last run around in Denton, I'll be back in my hometown by the end of the month. I gotta say that I will miss this town and the people I've met. Although, most of everyone has already moved back to their home country - the downside with making friends with international students - they are only here just long enough to miss them when they leave.

P.S. Thanks Anya for trying to help a brother out :)
