Back to the Grind

Today was back to Korean class. I finally found out what class I would be taking. I got to the global lounge about 30 min early just like usual because Heavy G dropped me off, after having some chicken curry bap for breakfast. They posted the names of all the students and what class they were in. Turns out I made the 1B/2A class which was a step up from where I was last session. Score! At least I didn't completely bomb the test like I thought I did. Or maybe I did and they were being nice.

Either way I'm happy, I think it will be a good chance for me to review a lot of the stuff from the first session, and learn some new stuff as well. Really the key is to just keep getting better every day and eventually I will get there. Today we did a review on family members and age. That was also combined with polite family verb form. The first time we went through this was super quick, and so it was really nice to get time to go through things more in depth.

After class I came back to the dorm and took a rest. I played some games for awhile. I also listened to some music. I have gone back to some of my roots lately, listening to a lot of Dream Theater. This has been my favorite band for probably about 12 years now. I am constantly blown away by their musicianship and writing. However, their last few albums have been sub par for what I've come to expect as a fan, so I fell out of the habit of listening to them. I go through phases of revisiting their older music though, and this is one of those times.

I find that as humans we are very much creatures of habit. I have been falling into some old bad habits lately, but the difference this time is that I'm cognizant of what I'm doing. I also have God on my side to help me correct these. Learning to put my trust in him has proven to be a much longer and more difficult process than I originally anticipated, and being a flawed and broken human it might take me a lifetime.

Totally random side note, I decided to finally give Devin Townsend Project a chance after years of thinking that they were some corporate metal band. After some words from my friends stating the opposite I have finally listened to some of their stuff. Boy am I glad I did, this song is rocking my pants off right now. I hope you enjoy it, as I'm going to start exploring their catalogue now.

Anyways, today was a bit of just easing back into the grind. Tomorrow however, I meet with the principal of the Christian high school that might give me a chance to get a part time job teaching English. This certainly sounds like a step in the right direction, and something sent along by God, but I want to pray and leave it up to Him first. I know He will lead me where I should go.

Then sometime this week is supposed to be the filming for "Love Family". I'll talk more about that when things get set in stone. All I hear is from the other RA's so who knows what is actually happening haha. Thanks for tuning in and I'll see you all tomorrow!

Look how smart I am in Korean!

Korean Word/Phrase of the Day: 돌아가시다 (Do Ra Ga She Da) This is the polite form to use when an older family member has passed away. Translated it means to "go back".

TL:DR I am Broken, I am Blessed.
