"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."
-Proverbs 3:5-6
  • 3:38 AM here and I’m wide awake. 

    Shouldn’t have slept so early… 

    Must find something to do until the late morning. 

    Any suggestions?



  • Few hours until I get on a plane and sit for 14 hours to Korea.

    Nothing to do at JFK, so just wasting time on my computer… 

    What to do, what to do. 



  • When one door closes, God opens another. 

    I ignored God for too long. I faked it so well that I believed myself. 

    No more.

    새 출발. 

    정신차리고 똑바로 시작하자. 



  • I still haven’t unpacked all my stuff from school. But what’s the point when I’m going to pack tomorrow anyway… 

    Seoul so soon. 



  • My mom and I have been talking about my future a lot these days. I’ve been telling her all the things that I want to study and do after I graduate from school, and she’s okay with it all. A few years ago my parents would not have been so supportive or “cool” about doing things my way. It’s weird to realize how much has changed.

    I definitely want to go to grad school for either Art History or Arts Administration or go to Law School. Both of my parents are obviously yes to all those options. I also realized that I don’t really want to get a job. It isn’t because I don’t want to face the reality of the “real world”, but I just can’t imagine myself working. I want to continue studying and learning. I told my mom this as we were driving back from an amazing day at King Sauna (Korean Spa), and she told me I should get a PhD. Why didn’t I think of that? So currently I’m thinking about that route -more studying. 

    Work towards a PhD in Art History and then become a professor. If I don’t decide on the PhD right after grad school, I want to work at a university in Korea. Maybe as a TA or a part-time instructor…I don’t know, I haven’t figured out that much yet. Working in Korea as a professor, though it wouldn’t be the best paying job, would be ideal. I would be in Seoul and continue studying/ teaching Art. What could be more perfect? 

    Can you tell that I’m the “plan” type of person? :) 

    Professor, Doctor. Kinda cool, huh? 

    It’s weird how I’ve changed too, wanting to pursue what I want rather than simply following the footsteps of my parents. 

    Just a late night thought. 

    Good night!
