T minus 1 day... @ 27

Just had an amazing weekend with a volleyball fundraiser (Athletics Supporters raised over $1000 for women shelters in Gwangju), a great birthday party, and a nice Sunday freezing my ass off watching Alex play football.

The fundraiser started off rocky with rain and overcast the whole duration of our event and a runaway box of cameras and event documents forgotten in a taxi. OKAY!!! Plan B, move all volleyball stands and nets indoor (cue the guys) while standing on the curb waiting, in case the cabbie comes back and reprinting all the documents.

The tournament went well and the final round was intense and exciting. We had conventional and non conventional techniques on the court and it was great cheering from the sidelines. I have amazing friends who always come out, even when its not their forte.

After the games all wrapped up and peeps headed home I started to allow myself to panic a little about my cameras. But, after a few hours I tracked down my box, thanks to some good friends. Yay community spirits! I would have been devastated if I lost my Nikon D5100...  

My birthday party was preceded by a skype dance and wine party with some of my girl friends ^_^ My friends are weirdos and SO am I lol The downtown part was exactly what I wanted, just my closest friends eating, drinking (AYCD), dancing and lifting people up. The best part was the cake fight of course... lol revenge will be sweet when it's my friend's birthday in 2 months lol

It was an early night because I was exhausted from the tournament, but Sunday turned out to be a nice day outside at Chonnam University. I haven't taken my camera out for a while, but after almost losing it I am definitely appreciating it more. Back to basics...

The next few months are jam packed with things to check off before heading on my travels and then Canada. It's funny how most of my homesickness is happening in the last 6 months of my journey to Korea. I officially signed my divorce papers a few weeks ago and I think the timing was finally right. It was hard, but necessary. But, on to bigger things... a lot of decisions to make for 2014, but I'm sure my family and friends would accept what I want to do =) 27 Leggo!
