In just three days there will be exactly 15 months until the wedding. Although 15 months might sound like a long time to some, it seems close to me. Living in a foreign country has warped my sense of time. I have been in korea for 16 months now and most of the time it feels like I just arrived.
When you live abroad you section off your life into segments, usually centered on vacations and going home to visit. This is easier when you are a teacher in a public school, because everything is measured in semesters. 1 month until final exams, 2 months until summer break, 2.5 months until vacation (Malaysia, wahoo!), etc. I am a big counter, and I find that time flies when you are constantly counting down to things. This is not to say I don't value each day and that I am constantly thinking about whatever I am counting down to, it's just a way of measuring my time here.
Here are the big things:
2.5 months: 2 week trip to Malaysia
8 months: trip to Southeast Asia for a wedding dress (more to come on that soon!)
15 months: wedding!
Here's to countdowns, crazy busy schedules, vacations, and exam schedules.
