meet me in montauk.

i watched inception this afternoon. i definitely recommend watching it.
the movie got me thinking about love - or people in your life whom you have loved. it is so hard to detach yourself from that person or feelings you think you once had. this idea made me start thinking about the movie eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, which is one of my favorite movies ever.
anyway, the point i'm trying to make is that you cant just erase time or someone from your memory. i love eternal sunshine because it proves the point that true love just finds you, even when it doesn't make much sense.

i hope you know you'l always be the life of the party.

i woke up this morning feeling really sad. i miss korea. i miss teaching my kids there. i miss a more simple life. this feeling will pass, but right now i feel it deeply.
summer school is over. i have been going to school without a break since january- i don't even know what to do with myself now! (i guess i will read the 6 books i just bought)
today i am going to a cubs game. i decided (at the last game i attended) that i don't like the cubs. i really hate that they never win. i just cant understand the term "lovable loser". i do like the experience of a game though, plus loads of friends will be there.

Friday, July 2

im standing on the bridge. im waiting in the dark. i thought that you'd be here by now.

i feel really busy, so i apologize for the sporadic blog posts.
so much has been going on, i think its necessary to share in list form.
1. i am officially moving to a new and much bigger apartment. one of my friends is moving in with my current room mate and i- this is going to be good for multiple reasons. the best part about the whole thing is that i will be paying $300 less each month. living is expensive.
2. i went to visit my mom last weekend. she has undergone one of four chemo treatments. i thought it was going to be really hard to see her, but it was better than expected. she has not lost her hair yet, but has gone ahead and shaved it. it was shocking and weird to see my mom (of all people) with a shaved head. shes doing really well through all of this. it just sucks that she has to go through it at all. i don't exactly know how to deal with it, or how to be comforting (for lack of a better word). i just really hope that after all this, the cancer will be gone.
3. i have started training to run a full marathon in october. i have not yet paid for it because i'm really scared that i wont be able to do it. 26.2 miles is no joke... maybe it would be better if i had a friend here to train with... october just seems like so soon...
4. a 5 week summer session seems ridiculous for grad school. i have 2 more weeks and so much due... but i'm not complaining, really. i love what i'm studying. i have become so nerdy, it doesn't even make sense. honestly, thank god i finally found something i like...seriously.
5. confession: i watch the second twilight film... and i liked it. yes, i am going to see the third. this does mean that i have changed my mind about the first movie- i still think it was degrassi with vampires.
