I've been thinking a lot today about change. I guess what prompted it is the recent chain of events happening in my life-- my college graduation, trip to Korea, new job, and finding out that Stef and Mike are moving. I've always hated change, although I adapt relatively quickly. My life is going to be very different soon. I'll be out in the real world.
Forgive me while I bitch about Georgia, but arrrghhhh. I was born here for those of you who didn't know, but I grew up in D.C., so I was surrounded by culture and education. There isn't enough here in Georgia to stimulate me. My interests are so diverse. I'm tired of my friends here who have never been anywhere asking me why I like to cook "weird" food. Forgive me, I didn't realize curries and potstickers were that strange. Not to sound bitchy, but there are soooo many people here who have never been anywhere and can't understand why I want more than this. I love my house. I mean I LOVE my house. I don't know many states where you can afford a nice single family home at 21. I love that my family is here, but I need more . . . James probably could take Gerogia or leave it, but I can't take it for more than a few more years.
We're talking about moving to Korea, for a year or two. I remember, standing on this one particular street corner, looking up at the huge tv's advertising everything under the sun. The lights, the people, I don't know what exactly made me feel as I did . . . I could have stood there forever and watched the people and the crazy drivers. Maybe we will go to Korea. Who knows?
Posted by Hannah at July 7, 2004 03:10 PMHi there, greetings from the O.C. :)
Your current post made me (more) sad about my upcoming move to Georgia. :( I've been there three times in the past year, but dont know what it will be like living there. Hopefully i will survive. Which part of GA do you live in?
Hannah: We live in Columbus, about 1 1/2 hours south of Atlanta. It's not that bad, it's just that I love looking Thai and Indian food and going to great restaurants. Those things aren't here, but I suppose most anything you need is here. I'm happy to say, we are actually getting a Starbucks finally. Where will you be moving? I can hopefully answer any questions you have if I know there area. :-) Thanks for stopping by!
