I am in Korea right now after a 14 hour flight. I was exhausted when I landed in my window seat. I slept for about ten hours then woke to watch a few movies, and eat a tuna sandwich (random right?) It seems on these long flights that you sleep for hours on end, yet there is always an abundance of food! There is always a very nice flight attendant saying, "Excuse me, Korean style, or Western style food?"  Well, it seems that we are boarding for our flight to Beijing! Love you all! 

Into the Wild...sort of

Well, tomorrow I set off on my next adventure. I am so excited for this trip to china. I watched Into the Wild last night, and it made me so happy to be traveling with people. I absolutely love that movie, and I need to read the book! It's pretty sad, but inspirational. The main character sets out for Alaska with...nothing...alone. It's a ballzy move, I am not sure I would be able to do that. As I packed, and continue to pack more and more 'stuff' I realize how much I like to have my things with me and have a need to feel comfortable. My prayer for this trip is to step out and do things I have never done before, to be a bit uncomfortable.  I think that is essential for growth in life...to be uncomfortable. It's like they always say about the butterfly... he has to get uncomfortable enough to break free from the cocoon. Well, I am ready to fly (this is so cheezy...maybe I should reach for the stars too :)  I want to teach students with passion and creativity, without losing my mind (by the way, I have 40-50 students in each classroom...ahhh!). This is also a big prayer of mine :) Thank you all so very much for your prayers. I leave tomorrow evening and head..Into the Wild...sort of. Love you all...Jessica
