. . . . . Probably because the pain's not been there as much the last few days. Then again, I just started typing and felt a flash of something. At least I'm not going 100% at Jiu Jitsu though. I'm learning to defend myself so much better, instead of trying to over power my opponents. Technique is almost everything in that sport. My instincts are getting a little better, but much room for improvement is still needed.
This weekend was definitely an interesting one as well. The owner of the health club wants me to help teach some little ones next month. Part of the deal is working at his Taekwondo place teaching the little ones in English as they are learning the sport. Heck, I don't even know much about it. It could be a fun time though.
Annie came and visited me after a rough experience of missed buses, on Saturday. We went with two of my coworkers to the local animal shelter. We all walked a dog to start with. Turns out the dog I was walking had a back problem, so I carried her the whole time. Actually she was the one that Annie picked out, so Annie walked the scruff ball that I chose instead. She wasn't too fond of the dog part it seemed. Then we visited the cat part of the shelter and she had a 360degree turn around. She was ready to even take one or two of the cats home.
I'll continue this later. My body is telling me that it's bed time right now.
So Saturday night was finished at the local sushi restaurant that's literally a hundred yards away from my apartment. We came home and watched Transformers 2 on the TV. Sometimes we have good movies on TV, but most of the time they are repeats.
Sunday, we went downtown and met my friend Greer, who went to high school with me back in Memphis. We had to straighten a phone deal out which ended up getting taken care of on Monday morning instead. So, Annie and I went to a park and had a long talk about the future, jobs, and life. I told her I had this crazy idea about living in Bulgaria sometime in the near future. She was somewhat accepting of it. I said we go live there and write books about her experiences, being two foreigners together in a foreign country figure out how to live. I think it'd be a cool thing. She also thinks we could do great having our own academy together in Korea. As long as she'd give me time to see my family during the year, I'd be fine with that idea. Personally, Bulgaria would be much more exciting in my opinion. I'm getting a little tired of Korea these days. If I didn't have her or Jiu Jitsu, I wouldn't be here.
Then we decided Annie should go back to Gongju (where I lived in the Spring), so she could fix the phone problem for me before work. Well, as it turns out, she couldn't get a bus ticket or a train ticket for the next few hours, so she was stuck with me in Daegu. Then I recommended that she take the KTX (fast train), instead of take a two hour Monday morning bus ride. The bus station isn't far away from the bus station where she needed to be anyway. She finally accepted my recommendation, though she can't sleep on the trains well. Turns out, she was very impressed with my recommendation -- "Why didn't I try this before?" Let's not answer that one! Anyway, things are good between us for now. Maybe I can even get her to go live with my in Bulgaria. I'm not sure what we'll do, but I'll touch some lives there somehow.
