Valentine's Day

Tomorrow night (actually today since it is after midnight) is my little Valentine's date with Jihye. I did some research today to try to find something that we can do in the area that we are meeting tomorrow night, but I got nothing. I emailed her, but haven't heard from her maybe she knows about something to do, either way we are meeting. When I double checked the subway station she emailed me back with :) so I was excited. I bought a notebook today and wrote a little note in it and might get something else small. She'll probably give me chocolate and maybe something else since the women traditionally give the men chocolate on Valentine's Day here. Usually I am the opposite on Valentine's Day leaning toward the side of what a stupid holiday like why do I need a date to feel special or loved? I have to say though it feels kind of nice to actually have something planned though and with someone who thinks it is nice too!

I am joining my friend's fitness club tomorrow, Bali Fitness, the American company. It is a little bit farther away and a little bit expensive but I think it is a good choice after seeing it and everything. He said to expect two hours tomorrow ~I guess I'll be working out as well. For the past couple of days I have been doing some push ups and sit ups to get ready. . . the push ups have made me really sore, but at the same time not as weak. So tomorrow for my first day I'll already be sore.

It ended up being cold and rainy here today, so what is rain mean in Korea. It is an informal tradition that you drink that day. Of course I had no idea about this until it was quiting time for the day. Ashley, the other American teacher, already had plans to meet a friend at a bar to drink. I went with the four Koreans to a restaurant to eat and have soju. I was very proud of myself I didn't even finish a shot glass of soju tonight, which by the way tasted in particulary awful and potent.

Oh, I got up for church today and got there and figured out that the service wasn't happening that day. I got back on the subway for the half an hour back and prayed on it. I don't think I will make it tomorrow since it is already almost one o'clock and I neeed more sleep as always! Too tired these days even with cutting out the caffeine and hoping to get more energy and sleep with exercising.

That is all for now~
