Oh the places you'll go

I'm finally back in Korea after about three weeks of almost non-stop traveling. Even here in Korea I was traveling around a lot. I feel a little tuckered out and am glad to be in one spot for a little while. I'll have a school trip to Jeju island (Korea Hawaii) in September but have no other travel plans till then. The next travel plan after that will hopefully be to go back to the states. I have less than 200 days and am counting down. I know it might seem crazy, but when your ready to go like I am it's not.

All of my traveling has been really good with no complaints. I enjoyed every minute of my traveling. I always feel like I learn a lot about myself on when I travel. I feel that traveling is a way to express oneself. You get to express what you are like, the things you enjoy, the way you handle situations, and many other things about yourself. It's a way to show what kind of person you are. You also learn about your travel mate and how you work together. I feel like my next travel will be by myself. I would enjoy traveling somewhere and being with myself. Enjoying who I am and enjoying my time with me. It will be a while before I travel again but when I do I believe it will be a solo trip.

Oh the places you'll go

Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You're off to Great Places!
You're off and away!

You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself
any direction you choose.

You're on your own. And you know what you know.
And YOU are the guy who'll decide where to go.

You'll look up and down streets. Look 'em over with care.
About some you will say, "I don't choose to go there."
With your head full of brains and your shoes full of feet,
you're too smart to go down any not-so-good street.

And you may not find any
That you'll want to go down.
In that case, of course,
you'll head straight out of town.

It's opener there
in the wide open air.

Out there things can happen,
Don't worry. Don't stop.
Just go right along.
You'll start happening too.

Oh!
The places you'll go!

You'll be on your way up!
You'll be seeing great sights!
You'll join the high fliers
who soar to great heights.

You won't lag behind, because you'll have the speed.
You'll pass the whole gang and you'll soon take the lead.
Wherever you fly, you'll be best of the best.
Wherever you go, you will top all the rest.

Except when you don't.
Because sometime, you won't.

I'm sorry to say so
but sadly, it's true
that Bang-ups
and Hang-ups
can happen to you.

You can get all hung up
in a prickle-ly perch.
And your gang will fly on.
You'll be left in a Lurch.

You'll come down from the Lurch
with an unpleasant bump.
And the chances are, then,
that you'll be in a Slump.

And when you're in a Slump,
you're not in for much fun.
Un-slumping yourself
is not easily done.

You will come to a place where the streets are not marked.
Some windows are lighted. But mostly, they're darked.
A place you could sprain both your elbow and chin!
Do you dare to stay out? Do you dare to go in?
How much can you lose? How much can you win?

And if you go in, should you turn left or right...
or right-and-three-quarters? Or, maybe, not quite?
Or go around back and sneak in from behind?
Simple it's not, I'm afraid you will find,
for a mind-maker-upper to make up his mind.

You can get so confused
that you'll start to race
down long wiggled roads at a break-necking pace
and grind on for miles across weirdish wild space,
headed, I fear, toward a most useless place.
