it's the final countdown..... finally

As Kevin put it, it's like I've said goodbye to everyone at the party and I'm waiting on my friend to drive me home.

Here it is, my final day in Korea, but I feel like I've wrung out all the heavy emotion and hugged everyone I needed to hug, exchanged addresses and shaken hands. I am not going to fuss over it any more. Instead, I plan to spend my final day in my friends' beautiful apartment in the city, taking advantage of the quiet, sunlit space to work more on my book.

It's intoxicating to have a life goal sitting gladly in your lap.
