Home update

I have been back for about two weeks now. And to be honest it feels like I haven't left this place at all. A lot of things are the same but at the same time many things are different. Hmmm, I wonder if can fit any more logical contradictions in this paragraph. But I digress.

So what have I been up to you ask? Well I will tell you! Even though you might not have asked :)

I spent the first three nights trying to get over my transatlantic jet lag. Finally I was able to readjust and sleep at a normal hour.

The past week I been busy getting my paper work in order for the JET interview next week. JET is the job to go teach English in Japan. This time around I might not be going alone - my best friend Adam also got an interview and we put in a joint application to be placed together in the same city. Fingers crossed!

I have also been keeping up with my fitness since I got home. I didn't want to lose the progress I made in Thailand. So I have been running outside about 5k everyday. I also found a squash meetup group to play every Thursday near my house.

For my mind I have been keeping up with my Korean via Rosetta stone at home. And a language exchange on Sundays.

Last but not least, I reconnected with some old and new friends. I saw my friend Adam and Joyce and played some Settlers of Catan (best board game ever!). I also met up with two of my high school friends to catch up. And I saw my new friends from Korea Monique and Richard. They are living here now, but I met them in Korea where they were teaching English just like me. We went to Yuk Yuks comedy club downtown near valentines day. we saw a live proposal and some amateurs bomb haha.

So over the next couple of weeks I am going to try some standup at yuk yuks, go to a U of T shakers event for alums. And meet up with some more friends! Life is good :)
