Hello my beautiful followers,

It's been awhile and I am sorry for that. I've had a lot on my mind and was distracted; more so than usual. Lately, life has been a roller coaster and I am long due to hop off this ride - too many ups and downs. What are these ups and downs? Well...

1. I got declined into Korea due to some issues that I cannot discuss. However, I am reapplying based on the information they provided and if I follow those steps I will be accepted.

2. My boyfriend and I made things official as of January 19th!!!

3. I decided that I am going to get my Masters degree after Korea. I feel like I know what I need to do with my life now! Gaining my Masters is just one of those steps that I need to take.

Seems like more ups than downs - Yes. However, that one down has so many steps attached to it. >>; I gotta take things one step at a time in this regard...too much stress and I'll shut down.

I also decided to take my photography and bit further and I am going to start blogging again. This time I'm going to write articles about my experiences in Korea; festivals I attend and the every day things I encounter. Photo-blogging will also be something I'll aspire to as well. I've wanted to do this for a while - one of my dreams was to work for National Geographic but I never tried to obtain it. Not saying I'm trying now but I feel like I should put my foot in the water and see how I feel about photo blogging and blogging in general.

What do you think of my direction so far? I honestly feel like I went though a quarter-life crisis or something!

Peace and Love,
Ash
