Reality
I am moving approximately 6860 miles away from friends and family. Not only will I be a foreigner in Korea, I will be illiterate and will have difficulty communicating basic things. I will stick out in a crowd. I briefly considered these factors when I was making the decision to come to Korea. They seemed like minor issues- things I'd learn to deal with- but nothing that would prevent me from going. Now I realize that these previously minor considerations will become the reality of my day to day life. But since I can't deal with any of those issues until they actually arise, I'm focusing on more immediate concerns, like studying for the LSAT and acquiring a digital camera. One worry at a time.
