Guess what? Today is the day. Today is the day that marks changes in my life that will elevate me to a place of joy. I woke up early this morning, keen on going for my first run at 6. But I couldn't sleep last night, so I was pretty tired and even my apartment was chilly, never mind the frigid outdoors ;) So I let my bed lure me back to sleep and didn't allow my will power to win. Greeeat. I woke up nearly two hours later, having to leave for work in 20 minutes! Yikes!
When I arrived at school, all was still topsey-turvey in the world of the newly-constructed-yet-not-entirely-ready-for-classes-Korean-school. The good news: even with the heat off, the staff room is still comfortably warm. The better news: no classes today. I prepped my awesome worksheet for tomorrow's classes and then got my taxes together to send home. As I reviewed my hydro and gas bills, I was flooded with an overwhelming feeling of relief. Boy am I glad that's over. All is working out fabulously :)
Oh, this is sweet...I stopped into the convenience store for some lunch on the go on my way to school. The owner is so friendly that I keep going in there, even though the goods are more expensive than the 7-11 right outside my apartment. Today he insisted on speaking more Korean than I knew to bid me adieu. It's cute...he had faith in my ability. He spoke slowly and clearly, hoping that I would catch on. Unfortunately, I didn't know just what he was saying, so I didn't in fact catch on, but it was a sweet gesture nonetheless and I appreciated his effort.
So here we go...today is the DAY! I'm off for my first official run after school today, then maybe to the Chinese Doctor for some much-needed calf relief (who knew plyometrics could make me so sore? I forgot how much work they were!), then to shabu shabu for dinner with my friends. Sounds like a perfect day.
I ensured there was a squirrel in the picture above because it's irrational that I fear rodents. Maybe in discovering mySELF, I can conquer some fears too!
