I’ve been swamped with studying, trips and helping others recently. In fact I’ve been helping others too much recently. It’s time I learned to say “no”. I’m missing out on all the things I love (design, music, Karate, running). So those things will now become promises and I’ll feel less stressed.

Last Saturday I went skiing for the first time. It was pretty exciting and I really enjoyed it. The snow was really icy though, so it wasn’t great to ski on (or so I’m told). It’s better when it’s more powder like. I got the hang of it pretty quickly and soon started moving away from making “A” shapes with my skis. Hopefully I’ll go again next month.

Tomorrow will be hard. I’ll have to communicate a lot. After class I have to quickly grab lunch and then I’m being matched to a regular Korean student for a language exchange. Tomorrow I basically meet them, exchange numbers and work out a schedule. After that I have to meet another girl for a language exchange and for her to introduce me to some of her friends. I didn’t expect that because a couple hours later I need to get across Seoul for another promise. So I’ll be rushing a lot and have no time to do any homework but it’s better to be busy than bored.
