Improvements

I have an addiction to the endorphins which come from exercising. In December, I started taking a yoga class at the University gym. Then in January, I switched my yoga to a regular gym membership. For the most part, I've been working out 2 or 3 days a week since then. However, in the past 3 weeks, I've upped the ante. I did 4 days a week the first two weeks and 5 days this week. Each day I did a minimium of 6-7 km. For those of you thinking miles..that is about 3.5 to 4.5 miles, roughly. And I love it. It makes me feel so much better, so much healthier.
The only problem is that at abot the same time I started to work out more, a Coldstone opened up in my neighborhood. Luckily, today was the first day that I gave in and went there. However, when my willpower isn't so great, it might become an issue.
I've also come to a decision. I am definitely going to do another year in Korea. One of the biggest questions that was making me not want to do another year was if I was postponing my life. I've been wrestling with that question and decided that is not so. I have just been making a life for myself out here, traveling and getting life experiences. I think everyday I'm learning something new about myself, the world, people, life, etc. I think this makes me a better person, even if I am not pursing the publishing career that is my eventual goal. I've been founding out who I am as an adult, defining myself. I like that.

Birthdays come and go like nothing these days. wow...that sounds really old. But however, I am 23. I made it to the age that they no one likes you. well, at least blink182 says so. Anyways, I tried celebrating on Saturday with Ashleigh in Buddha. We planned this beer pong on the roof thing which involved me digging through trash for things. However, we were ready to go and then rain came along. So we moved it to Ashleigh's inside ad then headed off to Bench. It was fun, just not what we expected quite.
On the actual day, I had to work and then after we went to the hookah bar til 3 am. It was nice and certainly not crazy. My family got me crazy presents, including, but not limited to Wall-E, Across the Universe, and the whole 4th season of Lost. Ashleigh and Alicia both got me gifts and i received a few cards. It was weird to have a birthday going on for a day and a half (via the time difference).
I kept thinking that my mother was in labor with me 23 years ago. and as much as I thank her for that, I'm extremely glad I am not planning on being in that situation anytime soon.
Random note....I really need to decide soon what I'm doing when I go home.
