I'm having this problem lately where I feel like I constantly have exciting news, and I keep telling people the same things. It's annoying, no doubt.
I think I'm going to try to solve the problem by just blabbing about it here via weblog whenever I feel the urge.

I'm getting laser eye surgery! It's super exciting. I haven't been able to see on my own since I was in third grade so this will be a much anticipated change of pace. I'm a little nervous when I really think about it. I will be awake the whole time while they cut a small flap on the top of my cornea, fold it back, and use a laser to remove the bad cells in my cornea. Then they'll fold the flap back and do the other eye. It will only take 15 minutes for both eyes but how will I manage this without screaming and running out of the room? I'm a little worried, and I'm sure that I will have to pee about a million times. Anyway Ryan will be there. And then I'll sleep for the rest of the weekend (an added bonus if you ask me) and come Monday morning, I'll be seeing 20/20 the second I open my eyes! It's almost too good to believe.

The trees are all red and orange and there are gingko seeds everywhere. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ginkgo_biloba) It's Autumn in Korea, and it's hard to believe these will be my last weeks of decent Korean weather. It's all cold from here! I'm having sudden mini bouts of panic when I realize that I won't have another chance to do this or that after the next couple weeks.

Tell me your thoughts on couchsurfing, please. (www.couchsurfing.org) I felt a little off about it at first but after doing some research it seems like a pretty decent option. Not just because it's free, but because the lodging comes with an experienced member of the society you're visiting. I'm wondering what you think, or if you've had experiences with this.

Lastly, does anyone have any brilliant ideas for means of earning a living while studying for our masters' at school full time? Ryan and I have decided we don't want to work.
