The old days

At this point 10 years ago, I was in my second month at DLI, where I was studying Korean as best I could. As much as I love my liberty, my ability to come and go as I please, I must say there was a certain comfort aspect in having your entire day dictated to you. You were free to focus all your effort on one or two things and didn't have to worry about much decision-making. It was nice.

I don't think I could ever do it again, though. Once was enough.

Nostalgia hits... that almost feels like another lifetime ago. The best week of my life was the week you graduated from DLI. You kept telling me you were in the most beautiful spot on earth, and you were right.

BTW, my blog is letting me post again.
