Time to Put it in Gear Again.

This is a picture of me a couple of weeks before the family came over here at the site of the Great King Sejong's tomb. King Sejong is a king that was very smart and invented many practical scientific and agriculture inventions. However, he is the most famous for essentially creating Hangul, the Korean written alphabet and language. This is about an hour outside of Seoul near the city of Yeoju, where I went with my friend to check out the Korea Pottery Biennial that is there.

Anyway, like this title is posted I need to get back in gear with my life again after my parents have left. A couple of ways, I am going to try to take a break from drinking or at least watch it more and try to go at it less for a while. I think this has effected my body in more ways than one. This week I went twice to work out since my parents left and I think I have lost muscle mass and I am weaker now. Today I couldn't lift the same weight amount I was before my family came. My goal for that is to work out four or five days a week and get back in gear with that and probably this month get some more personal training. I probably need it!

Tomorrow morning, I am going to return to the English service church after a couple of months before I go to the Korean church with some friends. My family made me aware of this and I think it is a good idea to attend a service that I can understand everything so I can get the most out of it. I need to do that for myself spiritually because lately I haven't been as good in that department as I should be. I think this is another thing that will help me in general right now with my life because I could be doing better in several areas.

I cannot believe it is June already, it really snuck up on me! I could take March, April, May, but June. . . crazy and that means I have been here eight months. I have seven months officially on my contract, so I am over halfway done now. It is definitely starting to feel like summer too and is very humid here sometimes, my one fan sometimes doesn't seem like it will be enough this summer.

I am also still doing my best to learn Korean and want to be more focused still and continue to advance. I know, right now that I am not thinking I will stay in Korea after this contract is over, so why learn Korean? I still think it is important and something to do to further my intelligence. Plus, I feel like if I ever wanted to date someone that I like from the church or whatever I need to learn more and more Korean. That is another thing to think about though what if I start dating someone and it gets serious, or worse I fall in love? Would I stay in Korea, be stuck here and never make it to Central or South America??

I am keeping busy, plus who can forget work that still takes up so much of my time. I am making good money and still saving enough. . . it is hard sometimes.

By the way, I think June probably snuck up on me so fast this year because well first, life is busy. Also, this is the first time that I am not on a semester schedule and really don't have like a big summer break, so time just all goes together. That kind of makes sense but I hope I get a break sometime soon maybe before the holiday in September because I would love to maybe check out Japan or China!

Till next time. . .
