Bloggity Blog

Well to say the least these past three days have sucked. Not to get on a complaint spree, it just hasn't been conducive to writing a fun blog about a great time. Bad weather, nothing to do, no money, no class. Ha ha, pretty much like Murray before I left.

Doesn;t matter. Let's recap on the good things:

I started training for the 5k in April hosted here. I'm getting good treadmill time in (which I know accounts for not much realistically), but hey, I'm not getting fat.

I'm exercising in general, regularly even, that's a first for me on trips abroad.

I might or might not be coming to terms with myself as a person, instead of living life like I wish I could, and being in denial with myself. Jury is still out though.

I have found people to play ping pong with, and may even have found a great one, if I can ever get in touch with them.

Once I get money, I can start doing exciting stuff again. Until then, not so much.

Oh yeah, another good thing is that I have started to seriously study on my own the things that really interest me. I have gone almost all the way through a free linguistics course that MIT has and will hopefully study many different subjects and be proficient at them one day. It's another one of those trying to better myself things. I look at all the great minds and see that they studied independently and really took it upon themselves to be responsible for the contribution they had on the world, even if history is the ultimate jury on that.

So even though these last three days have sucked, for more reasons than I can list, They have still even been good, for more reasons than I have listed here.

Now for a new little bit I like to call, Korean Made Simple.

I'm going to list some common Korean words and then exactly how we would say them without using fancy characters. syllables are shown using dashes and all of the shown syllables are ones we have in English.

Here's an example:

Annyong Haseyo (hello, how are you?) ----On-yong Ha-say-oh

Easy, right?

Kamsamnida (thank you) ----- com-som-knee-da

Miguk saram (American) ------ Me-gook Sa-rom

Korean Sentence:

Hanguk saramibnika? (Are you korean?)-----Han-gook Sa-rom Ip-knee-ka
