Concluding my initial 3-month contract with WHO, now extended 5.5 months, I’m back in Korea to take a break (contract break and personal break) and attend to various housekeeping matters – mostly for the (personal) break.
Not having had a bowl of proper Pyeongyang-style mul naeng myeon in 75 days (see most recently 5.028 Sure, Why Not, I’ll Have Another…) – two and a half months, my god, how is that possible?? – I ordered 2. I needed an extra one to tide me over until next time, who knows when.
One of the housekeeping matters that I had to take care of was my position at Ajou University School of Medicine. Earlier this afternoon, I drove to school for the first time in months, and for the last time as a member of the faculty. I tendered my resignation. It was fun while it lasted, 11 years.
