Final over… waiting my time to go!
The end
Last Week
It has been confusing a few weeks, and I am thankful that nothing serious happened to me. The coming week is going to be my last week in the US. After that, I am leaving for Korea. Fortunately, Korea’s situation is getting better, but I’m not totally comfortable leaving the US in this circumstance. Even though the light at the end of the tunnel seems to fade away, I will keep praying for Oneonta and the US for stableness. I hope the continuing losses will soon cease and recover from this depression. Later, I believe, there will be a time we remember this with loved ones and keep living as we did before the virus.
Small Things
Being intensely quarantined for 14 days has taught me things. Things that are not always apparent in normal life. It’s the details that matter.
If you look at any object closely, not even little parts are made by mistake. They all have purpose and function.
When we apply this idea on a larger scale, we can rethink the meaning of society. We all see society as a huge machine, but looking at the current situation, it is individual people who actually run the machine.
This principle is true for every phenomenon. If we want to achieve something big, we need everyone’s support. Everyone counts.
I am starting to get sick of the word, Corona or COVID-19. Let’s do our part and get over this phase.
Happiness
Whether you wanted or not we’ve definitely been thinking about happiness a lot over a couple of weeks. What makes us happy? Becoming a CEO at a big corporate, having a thick wallet full of cash, getting straight A’s, finding the love your life… Well, let’s just start with petting your dog.
Hollowness
Ever since the extended spring break, everything had changed. I mean everything. There were no longer Friday gatherings, no longer ‘classes’ and no longer freedom.
I have come to Oneonta as an exchange student for one semester. I don’t regret it by the way. If I had to come again, I would definitely choose SUNY Oneonta, no second thought. It was mostly the people that I liked. The kind and funny professors who helped me get through this new studying environment. The friends I made and encountered, none of them were unfriendly or unkind. Actually, they were so nice that it encouraged me to be a better person.
Now, thinking that those people have left. There is so much hollowness in my heart.
