Times can be up, down, and sometimes they just turn you around.

This post doesn't really have a point, I don't know where its going to go or exactly what it will be, supposedly deep philisophical musings, that in truth are pretty corny? Maybe... Annecdotes about my past few days? perhaps. I just don't know

I find myself in a state of apathy right now, not really towards my life, I actually am enjoying my life a lot more than I expected to be two weeks ago, but I think after the long couple of days I've had, and the realization that I'm even more busy over the next few days just wears me out. I'm excited for it. But I'm tired!

Which gives us our first side note! To anyone who has just arrived or is thinking of coming over, I tell you this: The first bit is rough, but it gets better fast!

I can already hear the chorus of "I told you so's" coming from friends and family, but its true. I'm still not sure I can make this full year, there are still rough moments and hard times but it does get easier. Espeacially if you put yourself out there. In these short 3 weeks I've made more friends than I can count, some of whom I already count as among my nearest and dearest. I've experienced a culture that is both completely different from my own and yet at the same time shockingly similar. And I've only started, in truth I haven't seen that much yet.

I've had days where life feels normal. Not even "I'm used to being on an adventure" kind of normal, but regular joe kind of stuff. Wake up - Eat - Go to work - come home - veg or chill with friends - rinse repeat. That when something happens to point out that I'm on the wrong side of the world it really hits you, the bus full of people staring at you, the kids that run up and pester you constantly (SO AWKWARD when you are in a public bath house) or a number of other little things that it is wierd!

But life is, all in all good. I'm going out with a whole bunch of friends tomorrow for Shabu Shabu (I'm not really sure what this is) and then out for some Galbi and a movie with a friend on Friday, and then some sort of an activity on Saturday, possibly skating, possibly museum hopping, and I still haven't been hiking yet.

I did go skating again, alone on my break a couple days ago, it was fun. Still a little crowded but manageable, I got some good exercise out of it.

Oh! one last note: I bought a guitar last night, needed something to stress relief on, I'm having a lot of fun with it.

I think that's it for now, later!
