WHAT IS IT THAT KEEPS ME CONFINED TO THIS SPACE? TRAPPED WITHIN MY OWN APARTMENT, DWELLING ON THINGS THAT HAVE YET TO HAPPEN? MORE AND MORE, THIS BECOMES MY DAILY STRUGGLE. MUNDANE IS MY CHOSEN WORD FOR THE LIFE THAT I LEAD. ALTHOUGH, I'D ONLY BE KIDDING MYSELF IF I ACTUALLY THOUGHT THAT IS WAS I WHO WAS IN CHARGE RATHER THAN THE OTHER WAY AROUND. REGARDLESS, HERE I SIT, ALONE. AS WITH EVERY SUNDAY AFTERNOON, I LOUNGE ABOUT CONTEMPLATING THE WEEKS WORTH OF HOUSEWORK I'VE LEFT SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS DAY."SUNDAY IS CLEANING DAY", I TELL MYSELF. SURE. ZOMBIFIED, I STUMBLE IN AND OUT OF BED BETWEEN VIDEOS TO MAKE COFFEE OR COOK EGG WHITES. WHERE HAS THE DAY GONE? WHEN I AWOKE AT 2 THIS AFTERNOON, IT WAS A SUNNY, NEW DAY. A FREE DAY. NOW, LIGHTS ON, I LOOK OUT THE WINDOW INTO THE DREADED BLACKNESS WHICH SHADOWS THE IMPENDING HORROR KNOWN AS MONDAY! GRANTED, MY FRIDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT THIS WEEKEND MAY HAVE BEEN THE MOST ENTERTAINING TIMES I'VE HAD YET IN KOREA, I STILL FEEL UNFULFILLED. SOMEWHAT EMPTY. WHAT AM I MISSING? WHY DOES THERE SEEM TO BE NO FLAVOR UPON MY TONGUE? BELIEVE ME, IN NO WAY AM I BLAMING KOREA FOR THIS STATE THAT I AM STUCK IN. PERHAPS IT'S JUST ME BUT, I FIGURED THE MORE YOU SEE AND EXPERIENCE OF THE WORLD, THE MORE YOU'LL UNDERSTAND IT. IT SEEMS THIS IS NOT SO. OR, MAYBE MY PROBLEM IS THAT I'M SEEKING AN ANSWER TO THE HUGEST QUESTION THERE IS WHEN I SHOULD BE FOCUSING ON WHY I FIND IT EXHAUSTING TO GET UP AT A DECENT HOUR, EAT PROPERLY AND GET SOME FREAK'N EXERCISE! POINT BEING, IT'S SUNDAY AFTERNOON IN KOREA AND I'M MORE THAN CERTAIN THERE ARE PEOPLE, OTHER THAN JUST I, WHO ARE HELD UP IN THEIR APARTMENTS. "ONE WEEK OF WORK. TWO DAYS OFF. ONE WEEK OF WORK. TWO DAYS OFF". THIS HAS BECOME MY MANTRA. I TELL YA, VACATION CANNOT COME SOON ENOUGH! I'M 14 MONTHS AND 2 WEEKS IN AND THIS IS WHAT I HAVE TO SHOW FOR IT....LET'S HOPE THE NEXT THREE MONTHS SHINE AN OPTIMISTIC LIGHT IN THROUGH MY
WINDOW.
