I'll be in my mom's arms

 
Jazz doesn't know we won't see each other for a long time..
I'm heartbroken because I cannot take him to Korea.
 
 
I came to America in 2001 and it's already 2013.
I am extremely happy and honor to have education in America and have fantastic friends and bosses.
I hope I hear from graduate admissions for enrollment so I can come back and plan my further career in America. I have not thought of living in Korea, but now I really can feel that the time is up and need to face it.
 
I have little more than a month and wish to visit my previous works, schools and places where I had great memories.
 
 I DON'T WANT TO GO BACK TO KOREA... OTL

My brother and I went to Applebees's for late lunch in center city.
