The Changes Occurred

On May 24, 2008 I began this blog as a way to document my adventures teaching in Seoul. It seems that after three years, I'm back where I started.

This Saturday I am moving to Italy. The transition was inspired by love (I bought my one-way ticket last December), but it worked out beautifully that earlier this month I was accepted to medical school in Milan.


I find it quite amusing that people are curious about what goes into one's suitcase during a transition abroad. My answer is consistently simple and perhaps slightly blasé: "nothing".  I'm actually eager to leave my stuff as I reckon the accumulation of nostalgia-based knick knacks solemnly unhealthy. Still, I am somewhat disappointed to be leaving behind so many great pairs of shoes that could very well assume their own suitcase.  

Two summer trips back to California are in store- one for some gnarly bureaucracy/visa administration, and another for Vince and Elyse's Wedding. For this reason, I intend to immigrate slowly, gradually expanding my closet with an additional 1/10 of my clothing collection upon each return to Italy.  


School starts in October and the summer is brimming with calendered activities, so stay eager as I stay posted. 

Arrivaderci!
