Well. It's been awhile, eh?
And you're not even getting any pictures in this post! *gasp*
Wait, wait, wait - stay with me here! I need your help! And there might be something in it for you. But before I ask my favor, just a small update on what's been goin' down in the big city...
The short and the long of it is this; I've been getting my ass kicked. Really, really kicked. By the kimchi, by the homesickness, by the work load, and by the newness of, well, everything. That being said, it's not all bad. In fact, I feel like I've learned more in the last month than in the last decade of my life. The people I work with and have met here are nothing short of incredible. This is the first time I have ever lived in a place so safe I never have to account for how late it is or what neighborhoods I will have to walk through. And then there's the great food, the Scottish boys spouting Shakespeare, and the best mass transit system I've come into contact with.
And yet it's been a month since I've managed to write even one silly blog post! Which is where this father-supplied quote comes in..."Forgive me, I haven't the time to be brief." Is it really a Civil War-era quote? Tell me - if you can't find the history of a quote via Google, does it really exist? A box of fancy rice cakes to the first reader who finds me some definitive info!
Basically, what this quote means to me is this...the quality of the writing in this blog shall be plummeting in order to bring more updates with more pretty pictures. Not that it had far to go in relation to the level of writing. But still. It's a bit embarassing. Hopefully you'll still want to tune in and comment - it's been fun to get feedback from the peanut gallery!
And here's where the favor comes in...my apartment is a little drab and lackluster. I needs me some color and a little lovin' via snail mail. Send me a postcard? No, seriously. I dream of my mailbox overflowing with ridiculous, corny, or just plain old postcards. I promise I'll send one back...
