Seven days remaining in this iteration of my Korea life.  Here’s how things stand:

Played my last league match with the Dillinger’s Dartitis Quarantine team.  We won our first match of the season against the Sin Bin Dartaholics, but I turned in another sorry performance.  USA Goal: Practice, practice, practice.  I have a board at home so no excuses!

Rolled over in my sleep last night and wound up face first on the floor.  Can’t remember the last time I’ve fallen out of bed like that.  USA Goal:  Avoid nocturnal skydiving.  My bed at home is twice as high as my low-lying Korean mattress so I don’t want to break my neck.

Had my checkup with Dr. Yoo this morning.  I was surprised that my blood work actually showed some significant reductions in both categories of “bad cholesterol” because my diet discipline has been sorely lacking these past several months.  Guess that Lipitor really does work.  Dr. Yoo also told me to “cut back on the carbs and lose some weight.  USA Goal:  Get back on the diet and exercise plan and stick with it!  I’ve got me some good intentions to live a healthier lifestyle, including kicking the cigarettes (again!).

I’ve done a little more networking and have floated my resume to a couple of more contractors for potential on-base employment.  Times are tough and most organizations are cutting back so I haven’t gotten a lot of encouragement.  My dream job would be to get re-employed with my old organization but there are some pretty major hurdles involved with that as well.  I also learned that if move forward with the F-6 visa (Korean equivalent of the green card) I will essentially be unemployable with USFK.  USA Goal: Shit or get off the pot.  I figure I’ll give it till January or so and then try to make some decisions about the course of my future life.

Anyway, it’s been a pretty good six months here.  I’m also looking forward to getting back to the comforts of my American life.  Perhaps I should be encouraged that my one foot in two continents lifestyle is working out as well as might be expected.  Hopefully I will always be sad to leave one and happy to return to the other.
