LOTS GOING ON:
- I am taking Taekwondo now.
- I am going to my 5th session in about 15 minutes!
- I love it, and now that they know me they love me too!
- I am mostly with middle and high school students, and 1 of my own elementary students!
- It is 3 nights a week from 9-10 pm
- I MAY be able to earn my black belt during the year I am here if I work hard, which is not my biggest concern, but would be awesome!!
- I am instructing a breakdancing class for two of my 6th grade students!
- They are two young ladies, and after just 2 lessons they are doing very well!
- I instruct them for 30-60 minutes Fridays after school
- It is awesome for them and for myself. I used to breakdance a lot in high school, but throughout college I only maintained some of my skill, but have not worked to progress in a long time. NOW I am looking up videos, trying new moves, polishing up old ones, practicing, and breaking out at clubs! This is truly a win-win :D
My two awesome "B-girls"
Their notes and moves to study/practice
- I just had my first acupuncture experience at an oriental doctor.
- My co-teacher Jack's uncle is a regionally famous oriental doctor, and my back has been pretty knotty since high school.
- Since I'm not seeing my chiropractor anymore my back is acting up, and Jack recommended I try this.
- It was a little painful, but more than anything interesting! I managed to sneak a picture of my hand with needles in it!
There are 4 needles in my hand here, there were 2 in my foot, a few in my side and a few in my bum. He wanted me to come back tomorrow but I can't make it, so next week he wants me in 3 more times. Hopefully it does something good. Jack claims this will 'cure' my back. I'm a little skeptical that some needles will CURE my Scoliosis, but if it helps then I'll be satisfied.
- I bought a new electric guitar, an Epiphone Les Paul almost 2 weeks ago, and my parents just mailed me my old practice amp and peddle for only $60, which I got today!
- Still need a power converter that will fit the 3 pronged plug, but still great to have none the less.
Also I wanted a bedside table AND had nowhere to storr my suit cases. This solution just sort of happened on its own haha
- I've been doing open mic nights here, like I did over the summer.
- There is a foreigner bar called "Somewhere" which I have posted about before that hosts open mic every Thursday.
- I've been going and making friends with the guys up there and it has been a lot of fun.
- Honestly I miss the Nick Zuber open mics at Hooley House, but it is still cool.
- I am supposed to go with my co-teacher Eunji tonight, however I may skip out this week because I am SO busy.
So as I said I am very busy and need to relax a little bit, but no time for that now! haha I have actually left lots of stuff out, so I will post again soon to catch up with all that is going on, bye!
(Also I did find some decent pictures for this post, but I hope to get better ones with me in them, and some of Taekwondo soon!)
