Good Morning!

This is from a month ago- October 21st, but i'll still post it for your enjoyment.

Is it almost the end of October already?! Because it feels like mid July from where I am sitting. I think my landlord is testing out the heating in the apartment.. it's still in the 70's outside.. but we are partying like its 0.  I should be getting ready for work.. but if I move I might start sweating again. I am waiting until the last possible moment to change my clothes.

I am SURE that I will not be complaining about this for too long.. because in a few weeks all my cold friends will be wanting to finally stay with me in my apartment sized for babies : )

Basically my life mission right now is to establish a routine. I have been sort of randomly doing things here and there.. sometimes leaving Mokpo, sometimes staying.. which has been great, but I want to have a bit more structure. I have been climbing with a local gym and I joined a volunteer group to meet at an orphanage and teach English every Monday (we will be doing some fundraising for the holidays.. so make some room in your bank accounts! )

Now its November 23rd and I love being warm in my apartment and kind of have a routine. Here are some randon photos!

Wolchul mountain last weekend

Me on Halloween..and yes my spider only has 6 legs.

A middle school camp I volunteered at and loved! The students were so awesome.. it was a nice change of pace.

Fighting!

Hi..uhh..sorry : )
It's been a while.  So much has happened! I am having technical difficulties with my MacBook.  It officially won't connect to my phone any longer. But I got a korean phone so it's all good!

Since I've been in Mokpo I have hiked Seorak mountain with my bestest gal pal Emily who awesomely flew all the way to Korea to see me and check out this part of Earth. Hung out in Seoul and the visited the DMZ, toured Jeonju and Mokpo. I will tell those tales later : 0
They deserve their own post.  Had some birthday celebrations with new and old friends. Successfully finished more than a month of teaching. Joined the Mokpo climbing club. Climbed twice with the Jeonju climbing club. And, yes haven't slept enough. Haha.
Life has been great! Of course there are some bad days but I feel very lucky to be here!

Here is a picture... taken minutes before I busted my arse trying to save a family of fish stuck in a pool of random water... third time I bled thay day. Not sure if the Jeonju club can handle my accident proneness anymore! Koreans seem to have extremely good balance and never fall down.
