a bit of this and that

I am actually getting quite excited that spring in Korea is almost here. It will be nice to have the colder weather set aside and be on the way to more adventures in warmer weather. I have so much stuff planned. It is pretty exciting all the things I want to do, but time is going to be restricting. I guess things like China can be done on a long weekend eh? Not much has been going on lately. Work has been work. Sometimes the kids are amazing, and other times they are shits. Same goes for everything though. I have been going out too much. Well, not going out too much, just spending too much money while out there. I am really looking forward to the warmer weather for fact of not doing the same thing over and over again. Like, last weekend I went sledding Korean style. It was very different and it scared them to see white people sledding. I guess western fear of getting hurt is far less than that of our eastern counterparts. I got yelled at for going to fast down the hill and running into too many things. Oh well, I knew what he was talking about, but I just pretended not to and walked away haha.
I have fallen in love with the grocery store lady. She is so adorable. She has taken to speaking English to me. After she tried and failed at speaking Korean to me she resorted to her broken English. It is much appreciated though. She is a sweet lady. Also for the past few weeks I've had a replacement boss. My regular one is working in the USA right now so we have a fill in. I like the fill in so much! Things are so much more relaxed in the teachers' room. There are far less egg shells to walk in lately. It is really nice.
I have also taken to sketching. I suck, and I throw out a lot of paper, but I still do it. It has been relaxing for me so far. I am hoping to put something on my walls sometime. The wall paper is leaving a lot to be desired. Today is my 4th month in Korea. I am glad I've made it this far. It has been rocky that's for sure, but I am settling in well so far. Just transferring my focus to different things I guess. Mindset makes a big difference.
Hmmmm what else has been going on. Not too much really. Just been planning trips and things like that. My friends and I have a little checklist to do while we are here. This weekend I am going to a city outside of Seoul to a party. I am looking forward to it. Also, I found a rifle range near here and I want to give my hand at that. It has been years since I've shot a gun...since I was a child I think. I am really looking forward to it.
Other than that, nothing much else has happened. I am in a good place mentally lately. I like it. I think I am starting to leave some of the stuff from home at home and that is a huge relief. For a while my Asian Adventures had been ones of my mental state, but I think a good mental detox was needed. Hopefully things don't flood back when I get home.
