Honestly, now.

Visa Status: Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

For the past month, I’ve been a blob.  I haven’t accomplished anything.  Or at least I haven’t felt that way.  For once (at least since I’ve been on my own), I have the time and opportunity to do whatever I please and I’ve been mindlessly wasting it.  Stupid me.  But I’m getting better.

I’ve decided to try and celebrate everyday, in some way. Starting today.  So this evening (after cleaning the apartment a bit and rearranging stuff), I went running.

For those of you who know me, I hate running.  I tried to run here in Korea last year and it didn’t work.  I hated every minute of it.  However, this time I kinda liked it.  And I think I figured out why.

The thing that I hate most about running is the fact that people can see you and you can see them.  I know it sounds strange, but it bothers me.  In Korea, it’s worse for the obvious reasons.  People are always looking at me.  I’m an example whether I like it or not.  However, there is a solution to this problem: winter.   I don’t have any winter running gear.  After solving that problem with a quick trip to Homever, Badugi and I were off.  Amazing things, hoods.  At 10pm and with a hood, I was just another person.  It was great.  Anonymity felt amazing after months sticking out.  I didn’t go far, but I wasn’t hating every step.  It’s a start.

I  don’t have much of anything else to talk about.  I’m going to try to make tacos for my friends tomorrow.    I’ll write more later about this little self-improvement experiment of mine.
