Iced Swedish Berries

So it's been so long since I had a blog that it takes me extra effort to update it. Today's update, however, comes to you on my iPad at the coolest Coffee Bean around as it looks like an old-time coffee house, complete with a rather impressive list of coffee and tea selection. Today's choice for Tim: Iced Swedish Berries. Yummy yum yum yum...

I feel as I should somehow be witty in this post, proclaiming that I often think about what my life would be like if I hadn't lived in Korea or if I went to a state school instead of Emory. Truth be told, I've thought of all of that collectively around one time and it has been a while since the thought ever crossed my mind. What has crossed my mind on a regular basis is where I'd eventually like to live. Returning to Korea this time has made me realize, yet again, that living here could be a real good choice for me. The question is when...when will I be able to live here and would living here hinder my academic career after I obtain my Ph.D? For a discipline such as anthropology I'd venture to say yes. I look at possible options in Korea and there are no real anthropology departments here that could be taken seriously on a global scale. Not to mention that most of the possible conferences I could go to would be in the States. Yet more food for thought and I have many books to help guide this decision.

Well I am out and about today because I thought I would go crazy staring at the same four walls all day again. The rain pretty much subsided for a bit so I seized the moment to head downtown to the newly-renovated Kyobo Bookstore, which is amazing, and get me some CDs. I then headed to an underground dining plaza and found pretty delicious Spanish food, had myself a glass of wine and am now enjoying some good jazz at this Coffee Bean. Tomorrow: road trip... Hopefully.

Man, typing on an iPad iOS really difficult...
