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.
