Loose Feet

Back in Korean classes. Again. Learning the Korean alphabet. Again. Major deja vu, which makes me wonder if something bad is going to happen in just a short amount of time. I feel that lightening can only strike once a year on your heart though, so I'm crossing my fingers I'll be protected through the summer. I'm on a Korean language kick, though, which is exciting as I haven't really been interested in studying or pursuing it at all over the last few months. Suddenly I'm looking through vocabulary and finding extra books to study in at night, listening to podcasts and using whatever I can get off the tip of my tongue that somehow seems right. I'm proud of myself for making an effort again. It's easy the first time, but the second time around is like walking with a broken knee. Just keep shaking until you heal and regrow. (Does that make sense at all?)

In other news, after a whirlwind round of shopping with Jenn - wherein we both decided that we have never been such materialistic spenders since living in this country - she finally gave in, and we are going to the gym, starting next week. It's a big decision for me. I'm not a gym person. But as my mom always told me, it's best to find a friend to go to the gym with. The gym (at least for me) just doesn't seem to be one of those solo places. Particularly in a country where you don't speak their language -- YET. I'm excited to start the process of getting into shape. It's been a long time coming, and I think my body really needs it. It will definitely make me feel a lot better about myself. But it will suck...Oh how it will suck the first week.

That's all for now. Not very interesting, but somehow I still feel FAR too busy and my life seems overwhelmingly filled with things to do. I like it that way. Today, I am satisfied.
