I still have about 9 months left in Korea, but I can't help but wonder what is next for me. I think I have a disease or something. All I know is that I want to do something with meaning. I don't want to just get a job to get a job. Sadly, I still need money to pay off my student loans, so I cannot simply do just anything.
Peru really changed my life. Even from far away, I am constantly thinking about all the people there and what a great time it was in my life. I keep trying to figure out how to make it back there, but the burden of my debt makes it difficult. I wish so badly that I could go back in time and never take out any loans for school. How many years will they keep haunting me? Who knows? I didn’t exactly get a degree that will help me find a job easily, especially with the job market the way it is. What can I do with a degree in Global Studies? Study the world? Now, if someone can figure out a way for me to get paid to do that…I’m there!
I really need to work harder to make my time in Korea more memorable and beneficial. I should especially work harder at learning Korean. I’ve been incredibly lazy about it. I just can’t imagine this place meaning what Peru means to me. I guess God has finally showed me that my heart is in Peru and for the people there. He has given me the ability to love and I want to share that love as He has shared it with me.
So, I just want to say that I really do miss Peru. And I think of all of the friends I left there often. I’m praying for you and I hope to join you again there some day soon.

I know what you mean about the loans Heather. I am going to be about $300,000 in debt when I leave medical school in 2012. Maybe that will make you feel a little better.
I also know how you feel about God taking you somewhere you didn't think you would go, and using it to make you the person you are today. I laughed at my pre-med advisor when he first suggested for me to come to St. George's. But now 4 years later I am here and I wouldn't change a thing about it. You just have to trust that God knows what he is doing. cause he does! hehehe.
Glad that you finally updated. I like to read other people's thoughts. I haven't written a blog in a while. maybe one will get written when i am at home.
catcha lata chica!
