Back in LA~

I have not realized how sunny and bright LA was. The lovely green palm trees, the crisp blue ocean, flip flops during the winter... Ohhhh how I"ve missed Los Angeles! 

I arrived yesterday afternoon in a bit of a sad mood. I did not realize how deep  of a bond that I have formed while I was at KAIST. Our farewell's was quite an emotional experience for me and my new friends. Will we ever see each other again? That was the lingering, unspoken question as we hugged, kissed and shared our last moments together. So as I boarded the plane to return to the states, I was in an emotional shock as I was really, deeply sad to leave Korea. "How could 4 months go by so fast??" 

But as I landed, still deeply saddened, I was greeted by my family and new tears emerged. But this time around, it was tears of joy! And by phone, emails and MSN, I was greeted from friends welcoming me back to LA. I was flooded with attention and felt the love in LA! So while I am still a bit emotional from my departure from Korea, I am glad I am back. I feel rejuvenated by my stay in Korea. I am ready for 2009 for whatever comes my way.
