A window into the future

One particular student of mine just can't stop writing or drawing. She has now turned her artistic merits onto me. With cane, no hair and something resembling a lion's mane around my neck she claims this represents my future - though she didn't say if this is me at 40 or 80. At least she spelled my name correctly.

13 months

Looking today at the mental countdown that I'm constantly running in my head, I have just three weeks to go before the Chuseok holidays and my trip off the peninsula. More importantly there are just thirteen months before I finally leave Korea. One of my co-workers told me today that he has 111 days left. Lucky him, but at least I'll be able to save quite a bit in the remaining months. The upcoming holiday is well needed and is timely. As for the future, it seems a long way off but is within touching distance. Will my sanity hold up or will something be forever lost in Korea?
