So, Marie totally has me beat on the blog-o-sphere! I bet once she starts teaching and gets a routine she'll putter out though... but I am enjoying her blogs very much! So, keep it up Marie! Eventually I'll get enough gumption to try to re-work my blog to make it look cooler. I'm hoping to get internet (my own that I don't steal from neighbors) next week. Hopefully that will make my online life much more accessible as well.
So a few thoughts from this week.
1. I still really like going to the gym... but tonight my legs don't like me for it. They just made very large posters of the trainers flexing their muscles in dramatic lighting... I'm trying to get up the courage to ask if they really have the abs that the posters show or if it is "touched up"
2. Old men that pull their pants up past their bellies make me giggle.
3. I visited my friend Heather in Seoul on Monday night and slept over. It was fantastic! The whole time I kept asking myself why I don't live there... the good news is that I have 3 days weekends and Heather said I can totally live with her whenever I want *^^* So, I may have more adventures in Seoul, depending on how life goes.
4. I bought another book to help me learn Korean and the classes at the YMCA start up again on Saturday... I can do this, I CAN do this. I CAN do THIS! Language learning is really hard :-(
5. There are many fruits in season right now and I'm pretty excited about that!
6. If you didn't hear, my little brother is getting married! This is quite exciting and I can't wait! Talk about a great part to get back to! July 21st is looking like the date, so I guess I'll see you (if you live in Wisconsin) then!
7. Another thing that continuously makes me giggle is picturing one of the guys that works out in the gym... he's a bit short (maybe 5'5") and is definitely body building. Today he had running shorts on and he must have gotten really hot, so he tucked them up and it looked much similar to a speedo. He then continued to keep flexing and looking at his bi-ceps... I kept looking to see if I could catch him kissing his muscles... didn't catch him this time though...
8. I was invited over to a couple from church's house. They live in the penthouse- top floor (13th) in their apartment. Roof top access, more rooms than they know what to do with, all of the latest appliances, flat screen TVs. He's a dentist. They have 2 children, one is a 4 year old boy who was butt naked when I arrived. The other is a little girl less than a year old. The little boy absolutely made my night when he and his father walked me down to my scooter and the boy said something in Korean... I picked up "Nuna" which is their polite way of calling an elder girl- it means big sister. I asked his father what the other word meant. Dad says, "He said you're really cool". Ah yes. I have arrived! The four year olds know how to recognize a good thing when they see it ;-)
School starts tomorrow! I'm pretty excited. My schedule is fantastic with Mondays off and I don't teach until 1:00 on Tuesdays. Yes- I love my job! *^^*
