Confession

I haven't worked in about a month and a half.

Money that I saved up from my summer job is keeping me afloat financially. I figure I can last a few more months if this job in Korea doesn't work out. Hopefully, it won't come to that.

Some people would envy my position. Everyday I wake up at unreasonable hours, and think, "Man, what piddly task(s) can I accomplish today to give me a sense of self-worth?" Before I go to sleep (which can range anywhere between 11 pm to 7 am) I make sure that I have done something of value. Today's self-esteem chore was taking my box of Legos out of my car, sorting out the men from the buildings, putting them in a separate bag, and then putting everything back in the box, as I realized that the week or so I have before heading off to Korea will not be enough time to sell them successfully.

I often think that if future me had told pre-college me how post-college me was just as lost as pre-college me, pre-college me would have laughed in future me's face. Or, to state it differently, if we lived in the world of the Terminator movies, pre-college me, if given the opportunity, would certainly track down post-college me and beat him to within an inch of his life.

Good thing we live in the real world. I can only imagine how pissed finals week 2003-2006 me would be if he found out where all his hard work has brought us.
