cableless in korea

it's getting cold here. i love that crisp cold air that comes with winter. it makes one feel alive. i felt really good after tae kwon do this evening. my knee is about 95% better and my kicks are getting good. i actually made it through class without falling. yeah me. on friday we get tested. hopefully i get that yellow belt.

my new student jenny is one tough cookie. she completely wears me out. trying to get her to talk is like pulling teeth. the two classes i have with her are like an interity. i tried to get her to say the abc's today and she started crying. i felt so bad. i had to have princess and jk come in to she what was the matter. of course she wouldn't talk to them either. in the second part of class we read and did exercises. its brutal i tell you. having a student that just stares at you is quite nerve racking.

i beginning to feel at home here. i'm starting to really enjoy what i'm doing. we finally started getting the korean herald at work which is an english newspaper. it great because now i can keep up with whats happening in the world. there was an article in it today about some beavers in louisiana that built a damn out of money. apparently their was a robery where 70,000-75,000 was stolen and i guess they tossed the bags. the beavers found it and built a damn out of it. the money was still intacted when it was found. how great is that. beavers.

i must confess. last week i mentioned how i was starting to work out again. of course i probably shouldn't have said anything because i only did it one day. lazy much. i'm going to try to get back into it this week. at least i still have tkd so i don't feel like a complete bum. on a sad note, i lost my free cable. no more "sex and the city". now i have to be more productive. oh well i should have known that it wouldn't last. it was a good run. the weeks are definitely going by much faster these days. i can't believe that thanksgiving is next week. thats definitely going to be strange. i don't think they have turkeys here. misty is going to have to somersize without me this year.
