Maybe the Tao of Pooh is working
For the longest time I subconsciously used my hair as a fast way to change. Something was shitty - I cut my hair, I dyed my hair, I changed it because it was the easiest, closest to permanent-without-actually-being-that-way thing that I could do (this of course being after I ran out of probable places to pierce). I think that's why my hair is as long as it is, it's been a long time since I've needed to make a change. I started thinking about this because Cori convinced me to dye my hair on Saturday - she really had to convince me too, because there’s nothing right now that I want to change. Though I suppose that might be because there have already been so many changes in the past few days.
Last weekend I saw a posting for a job in South Korea, I applied on Tuesday, had a phone interview on Wednesday and found out that I got the job early early early Friday morning. All that in a week. It definitely hasn’t completely set in yet, though I did get to talk to my boss on the phone yesterday - he’s Irish, moral of the story being that he was fun to listen to, but it didn’t make the situation any more real. So within a few days of seeing that post, I have a job in Korea for the month of January, hopefully checking out schools to maybe come back to to sign a year contract.
I did just get done telling people that I was ready to get on a plane, maybe that’s why this doesn’t seem so different. Big changes, good changes, but changes nonetheless. Maybe I’m ready for it so it does seem real, just not in the holy shit kind of way I expected. Hmm…something to think about :)
