F that!

This morning I spoke with an intelligent and trustworthy friend of mine, who said that money doesn't matter and that it can be earned later. In my heart I already knew that, but my head was arguing otherwise. I thought about our conversation all morning and then had an epiphany at lunch. I don't want to be one of those people who worship money. That's not who I am, and if I go to Korea just for money then it goes against my principles and everything that I'd conversely say to somebody else with this dilemma. I'm going to chase what means the most to me, and money is not it.

So I'm sure Korea is a beautiful country with lovely people, but screw it! I'm joining the Peace Corps. And the world will be better for it, 27 months later.
