Not unlike a good cheese

One of the more terrifying aspects of my stay in Korea this far must be the level of stress. Like, I understand that being in a place where one doesn't speak the language, doesn't really know a whole lot of folks, and being surrounded by six-year-olds to be wrangled all day would tend to raise blood pressure a little bit.

But it's kind of freaky that I'm getting wrinkles. Real-life ones, out of nowhere, kinda suddenly. First, they spread across my forehead like those neat-looking streaks on sand dunes, except I suppose not-so-neat-looking in this case. Also, it was revealed yesterday that I have crows' feet. Being intoxicated at the time, I didn't believe such hogwash, but a quick peek in the mirror revealed WHAT WHY AM I OLD OVERNIGHT.

Now, I suppose I could start flipping out, applying makeup and eyeliner and dressing to distract attention from my face (like that'd ever happen in the first place, here), but I am still just marveling at it. There was some tough stuff going on back home that I didn't react physically to, but I'm being defeated by elementary school kids? Dayumn. gg, Kinder Liebe.
