Busan and Summer Resolutions

This weekend was a pretty good one. On saturday I got some much needed rest and relaxation. Me and K went to Santa Clause, a local foreigner-friendly bar. WE enjoyed the Western breakfast and some fusball. Sadly K beat me 2 out of 3 times. It might turn into Air Hockey all over again.

Afterwards we tried to go to ‘Daejeon 15’ climbing. Perhaps it’s name comes from how frigging hard it is to get into. No weekend hours and not open until 4 in the afternoon…marawlrawlrawl. So once that fell through we walked around and played in the batting cages. I picked up some workshirts and a couple of small exercise items.
I decided about 2 weeks ago to renew my summer resolutions. Last years were probably the most successful, considering I got inot excellent shape. I went from 205 when I came to Labrador down to 170 when I reached Korea. However I have crept back up to 183 so I am gonna start excercising again.

One thing about living in Korea is that it has kept me very busy. Working in the public school means I have little time to spare these days. So a gym membership is out of the question and I find myself having to exercise at home. This actually isn’t so bad now, Me and K picked up an elliptical trainer last month and I am off to the races again. I’m pleased that although I am carrying extra weight it doesn’t seem to be effecting my cardiovascular health. I can still do 40 minutes pretty easily. Anyways that’s enough of that kind of talk.

The summer resolutions are similar to last year:
1.Get into good shape.
2.Learn Korean.
3.Get signed for a second year with my hagwon with a salary of 2.2

I think each of these are attainable. As long as I can find a half hour a day for cardio I will be physically alright. I have a tutor for Korean and that is going well, and I should know by the end of the month about my contract at the school. So right now things are looking up and I’m enjoying life.
