I realize it has been quite sometime since my last blog. So I should have lots to tell you shouldn't I! I feel like things are becoming quite normal here. I am getting over seeing people dressed like animals and the heads of dead animals on the streets I guess. I don't know if that is scary or a good thing!
I had a Valentines Day here and it was fine...nothing unusual. I have to say though that last year was the best V-day I have ever had...it could have something to do with the fact that I was with a guy that I wish was the one for me, but sadly know I am not the one for him. This V-day was ok though. I hung out with my friend Matt, and then there was Bruno. I don't know if you remember the initial story of Bruno and his dancing. Yeah...on V-day he was actually told that he was disturbing the other dancers! It was HYSTERICAL. I told that joker to stop spinning on his knees and what not.
Oh...just two days ago I saw the oddest thing and looked around to see if anyone else thought it was odd, but they were just chillen! I was waiting at a very busy intersection to cross the street when a guy on one of those rotor rooters (you know the motorized wheel-chair-like things) pulled up to the red light and stopped. He was in the street! Using it like it was a motor vehicle. I was like...ummmm, sir, I'm pretty sure you should be on the sidewalk. Thats just me though. At least he was following the traffic laws!
Nothing too exciting to tell though. I have been doing well, and having fun. I am on a serious health kick and am happy to report I am down 17.8 lbs. Of course tonight I made some chicken parmesean so that could all change tomorrow. I should have more interesting stories soon since the weather is getting nice. I will have some awesome pictures to post as well. Next month I am going to the DMZ which is the border between NK and SK. No worries! It's a tour...but how much you want to bet I will be the only black person? Yeah...I know.
Being in SK has really opened my eyes to lots of different things. It shows me that I can be independent. As much as I miss you all, I am really grateful for this experience. Not to say that I don't get lonely because that has always been there and will probably always be. But, the fact is, I can be surrounded by friends and family of those who love me and I love, and still be lonely. At least I am here doing something for me, and am having an experience of a lifetime. I love you all and promise to try and stay on the ball in my writing :) xoxo
