I am currently at a somewhat large crossroads in my life right now. It's like there's a battle between my "professional" life (or severe lack thereof) and the personal life (which includes all the Korean stuff and everything that gets written in this blog). I'm not entirely sure what my future holds (which frustrates me no end. I hate not having any control over my own life), and I'm also not too sure how much this blog will be updated in the near future. It'll probably be pretty irregular. I haven't even been studying Korean as often as I'd like to be, which is extremely frustrating, especially since I'm already starting to forget stuff.
I'm currently in the search for a career into the publishing world or the tech writing world. I'd love either. I've been doing a lot of thinking recently, and books/reading/writing are things I LOVE and things I couldn't live without. So much so that I'd actually die right now for a career in that sort of area (if it's not going to be teaching). So I've been applying for jobs, writing resumes and cover letters and doing research into these areas like crazy. Although it's had me quite excited, I'm also very anxious and nervous about what exactly my future holds - whether I even have a chance at a career in such an area and whether or not I even hold suitable qualifications. Surprisingly, though, this has been taking up a lot of my time, and it's been a bit... strange trying to find a balance between sorting out this part of me and the more personal stuff.
I've also been sick. I've had basically all the weird bugs that are flying around these days. Part of me is just waiting to get swine flu. XP
I also hope that North Korea doesn't accidentally blow up the South before I at least get to go there and see where I was born!
Also: I'm considering moving this blog over to Wordpress. Not 100% sure on that yet, but it's just something else I'm considering.

About This Blog
안녕하세요! 윤선의 브로그에 환영합니다!
This blog is here for two main reasons: 1) To document my process in learning Korean and learning about my heritage and 2) To write about my experiences/thoughts/feelings about being a Korean adoptee. Note: I'm aware that the title of this blog makes no sense! In learning Korean, my husband has picked up on random words and pieced them together in very... interesting ways! "Annyong seumnida" is a quote from him, and I thought it was a suitable name for this blog, as learning Korean and discovering my identity is often very confusing for me!^^

North Korea has better places to try to blow up, so no worries there. ^.~
Have you thought about organizing your thoughts and whatnot and working on an adoptee memoir? It is truly a growing field, especially for Korean adoptees, so I am sure that a publisher would be very willing to pick it up. I think it would be an amazing experience for you to write something that leads to where you are now, at the crossroads, and then have the opportunity to continue on later if you so choose. You're already getting in a magazine, so why not give it a go? ^.~
Hope you feel better!
That's actually a really good idea... I think I might start doing that...! ^_^
