Random thoughts

I do feel better about Mongmong's death. That was a little yorkie puppy that I had taken out of the shelter. It wasn't in good health and I was told it had water on the brain. I had some medicine for it. It was beginning to do better, it was starting to be able to stand up and eat and drink on its own. This week he deteriorated some more and finally passed away yesterday morning. I felt bad, but he is not suffering now. It is also a load off my back, because I was wondering what to do with him. If he survived, I would either have to find a home for him or take him to the USA with me. I doutbed anyone would want him, so I would have to take him along, and the cost of veterinary care is so much more expensive in the USA. I feel bad that he died, but it is also something I don't have to deal with anymore.
My time in Korea is getting shorter. I haven't found another job yet. I talked to my neighbor this morning and she said her place is hiring. It's a school for little children. I don't really want a job like that. I worked at a children's English school last year and I really didn't like it. I would rather teach adults or older children. I don't feel that I have a talent for teaching small children. If I am going to work with kids, I would want to have a co-teacher with me.
I do feel overwhelmed with so much to do. I know that I am going to get rid of a lot of my things here. I do feel that I need a makeover with my wardrobe, so I am not saving a lot of my clothes. I have many clothes sitting in the USA, so I won't have to buy new things right away. If I am not coming back to Korea, I have to get a crate for my guitar, start mailing things home, and do something about my pets. My family said they don't want any more animals. My sister now lives in a small place, I didn't realize how small her place is.

Hades Welcomes His Bride

While an undergraduate student at Andrews University I took a poetry class. I studied some of A.E. Stallings' poetry. She studied lots of classical poetry and literature of Greece. She does translation of poetry from Greek to English. An interesting thing she said was that when she was at university to study ancient, Greek poetry, she came across some poems that described early springtime flowers such as hyacinths blooming at the same time as later spring flowers. She interpreted that as a "golden age". She was later surprised when visiting the Greek countryside and finding those flowers blooming at the same time . She said that sometimes we do have to take things literally. This poem gave me the chills when I first read it. It is so deep and dark. Hades Welcomes His Bride Come now, child, adjust your eyes, for sight Is here a lesser sense. Here you must learn Directions through your fingertips and feet And map them in your mind. I think some shapes Will gradually

So, I haven't been posting lately. I have been busy working on my Master's Degree in English and a Master's Certificate in Human Rights. I have been enjoying my studies overall. I have been challenged a lot by studying Chaucer this semester (hey, that guy lived six hundred years ago).  I hope to get at least a B in that class. I worked on my degree last summer, taking one class over Summer Session I and two over Summer Session II to get things done and over with.  I got an A and two A- grades.  I have been trying to stay afloat with this semester. I ended up with one late paper for Chaucer due to my factory job I had at the time and time management.  I ended up losing a letter grade, which made me upset. I decided that I have had enough of Facebook. I have been contemplating deleting my account.  I have already deleted my Twitter at least a year ago.  I also don't have Pinterest or Instagram.  I know that I use Facebook too much. I must spend less time there. Yesterda
