the other day, i found out that i'll be able to go on a cultural trip to the DMZ during April and yesterday, i got another tutoring job. i'm really excited to go visit the border between north and south korea, because it was something i wanted to do once i first got here, and now it's actually gunna happen. i used to be somewhat active in north korea awareness and campaign stuff, going to conferences but not so much anymore. yeah, i still read and try to follow with what's going on, but it's worn off a lot. maybe this trip will reignite that passion i used to have. i'm most definitely looking forward to this trip.
i also got hooked up with another part time tutoring job at this taekwon-do place. it's kinda odd that they want to provide these kids that are learning taekwon-do with an english tutor? i really wouldn't consider this another "job" because it's only once a week for an hour and i get 35,000 won per hour. they'll also pick me up and drop me off, so i don't have to take a taxi or walk. really random how i got this job, but it works for me!
other than that, things have been, remotely the same. i'm still waiting for the weather to start warming up because it's STILL cold here. i've never been through a 5 1/2 month winter season, but i guess there's a first for everything. i can't wait to stop wearing a bazillion layers of clothing and starting playing basketball (which hopefully equals me losing more weight). i miss hawaii :(
