Dear Travel Journal,

Only 9 days left until I go to South Korea! I really can't believe it's so soon~! I'm so excited!!!

I am starting to worry about finishing the cranes on time... I really have to work hard on them this week.

Last night I actually remembered a dream! I dreamed that I went to Korea~! Strange thing was that my dream was all about Jae. We were in a classroom and I was sitting with him and Boa was on the other side of the room for some reason.. Then we were outside with Jee Soo and some people and I guess I was staring at Jae because he was like "Is there something black on my face, you keep looking at me *laugh*." Then I kind of woke up... Oh part of my dream was that I slept the whole flight to Korea and was upset and promised to stay awake the way home. I remember feeling depressed >.<;;

Anyways, I told Jee Soo the exact time and date I am scheduled to arrive in Korea. She hasn't answered me yet but I should hear from her soon!

I really wonder what I am going to do about batteries... I don't know if I should just spend a lot of money on them before I leave and pack them or just hope I can get the right ones in Korea...

I decorated the crane jar a little... I hope I can hide it from Jay until I am ready to leave...

I hope that when I'm in Korea I'm not too shy to take purikura... I wonder if Jay will take some with me and Jee Soo... All I know is that I really want to take a lot of purikura there because the ones here just aren't the same...

I really miss Cindy and I hope I can hang out with her before I go! <3

Alright so I'm down to one more week of babysitting! I will be paid on Saturday giving me about $400... a little less... Mom promised $200 so she better haha

I want to buy clothes in Korea but what if it is too expensive?

I am hoping Jee Soo will teach me Korean while I am there and not just give up and speak all English to me. My first question will be "How do you say "Whats this?" in Korean?" That way I can ask that about everything!

I have to figure out what I want to bring now, not just what I need... Ugh I really should make a list!

I have figured out a way to do good exercises, watch t.v. and fold cranes at the same time! ... don't ask... I hope this helps accomplish 2 of my goals!

So hopefully tonight I will bleach and dye my hair so it is kind of like BoA's color... I hope it works out good! I will be very happy if it does, then I will be ready for my trip in 9 days!

....9 DAYS!!!!!!!!! I can't believe this is really happening!

What if I am considered ugly of fat or unfashionable in Korea!!? I'm nervous!!!

I wish my hair would grow faster...

I wonder how I am going to get from Incheon airport to their house because I won't have any Korean money yet for the shuttle..

I have to go through all my clothes soon to decide what to pack...

Sincerely,

Amanda Berrelez
