So I missed my flight back home!

First time I've done this. I know many people don't ever want to take the blame, but seriously this wasn't my fault. Here's how it went down.

My flight was scheduled to leave at 1020 in the morning. I knew I had to be at the airport by 8/830. I took the airport shuttle from Suwon at around 645am.

Traffic was brutal coming in and I got to Incheon at about 815. I get inside and ask I proceed to go to check-in, and the lady asks me where my destination is. I tell her, and she says I'm at the wrong check-in line. So I go to the one she tells me to go to, stand there for 40 minutes, get to the front, only to hear that this was the wrong one, and that the one I was at originally was the correct one.

:/

So I go back there, and luckily there's no line. The lady starts checking me in, but then tells me I have to go to immigration first. I knew I would have to go there so no problem. I wait for about 15 minutes, and then the lady tells me that the lady at check in should've given me my ticket first. Well by this time, there's a half hour left before I leave and it's pretty much a lost cause.

And I take what I said in the first few sentences back. Perhaps I could've left a bit earlier considering it is a weekday and traffic would've been worse.

Also I was VERY frustrated at first. I'm not the person that goes "ghetto", but I was quite close for the first time in a long time. The ebonics was starting to come out a bit. But I afterwards, I figured I can't do anything about it now. Might as well enjoy another day here in Korea. I'm going to try to find a hotel and get some rest.

I'm now on stand by for the same flight just tomorrow morning. Hopefully I'll get on! Update later.

UPDATE:

So I stayed in a nice hotel last night...got some rest. Woke up this morning and thankfully I was able to get a seat on the flight this morning. I'm to Detroit! Hopefully be back in the ROK this summer. Peace yall.

So just about a week left until I complete my 1 year contract here in Korea.

Still can't believe time flew by so quickly. This time last year I was sitting in my room back home wondering wow am I really about to do this? Haha awesome.

This week has been going by surprisingly fast. Tuesday the English teachers all had a dinner for me. I got to choose the place and I chose to go to a Bossam restaurant which has become one of my new favorite dishes here. I don't eat kimchi, but the sweet kimchi that is served with Bossam is delicious and I nearly ate it all.

They gave me a present as well. Some face/wash thingamajig which I insisted that is was for women, but they insisted that it wasn't. Meh...I appreciate the gift and I'll see what it is.

I said goodbye to the teachers at the meeting today. I got to talk with very few of them because of the language barrier of course, but nonetheless I got some good greetings goodbye in Korean.

My friend gave me the idea of taking pictures of all my classes, so I plant to do that in the next two days.

Tomorrow i Thursday which is my longest day....5 classes...but thankfully the last busy Thursday I'll have in awhile.

Last weekend, my friend Wu who left this Tuesday had his going away dinner. Pretty awesome night.

We went to this Indian food place in Hongdae (Which has become one of my favorite places in Seoul) called Yeti. Awesome place. I want to try to go there at least one more time with some friends before I leave. Afterwards, the big group of 12 decided to head to the Noraebang!

Now I hadn't been to the Noraebang since last summer with friends up in Pocheon, where we stayed for about 8 hours. Thankfully this session lasted only about an hour and a half. I sang two songs even though I suck, but it was cool anyways.

After the Noraebang, it was time to head to the ever so popular Zen Bar. I saw pretty much everyone I knew in Korea (not everyone, but you get the picture). It was pretty awesome. I saw friends who had just returned to Korea, and friends who were leaving.

I usually hate the dance/club thing so I basically sat and chilled and talked with a couple of friends.

I also guess friends think I'm lonely because they kept trying to set me up with random girls there. First as I said above, I hate the bar/club scene. Second, I'm not dancing because I HAVE NO RHYTHM. Yes it's true. A black man with no rhythm...how could that be?

Third, even though I don't mind talking to people, how can I with loud music? I don't want to have to shout everything. Eh.

It reminded me of an episode of How I Met Your Mother where Ted basically said the same thing. If anyone watches that show, I guess you could say my outlook on relationships pretty much resembles his. Guess you could call me a bit of a romantic.

Anyways, after that, the group of 12, was down to 6, and at around 4am, we decided to go to the coffee shop to wait for the trains to start running again. By this time everyone is tired, I'm eating chocolate ice cream of course, and we just sit and talk. Good times.

Anyways, this weekend I plan to head to game 5 of the KBL Finals with my friend Mike who I haven't seen in awhile. I also want to try to hang with some other friends before I leave. So little time.

I'm looking forward to my time back home and to do a bit of traveling. I also CANNOT WAIT to see some NBA playoff basketball again. The playoffs start the Saturday I get back and I'm so ready. I seriously hope the Cavs lose. I literally cannot stand that team. I'm getting off track here.

Well, I hope everyone has an enjoyable week and my advice which I've been trying to follow lately is don't worry about the future, and let the past stay in the past. Enjoy the present as best you can.

Holla.
