Hi all. It’s been so long. In November, I was either busy with nanowrimo or procrastinating about not being busy with it. In December, I guess I was busy with exams then camp. In January, I was at camp, then sorta rootless for a while.
I remain sorta rootless now, but do feel I have time to blog.
Let’s see. I learned from Nanowrimo and really should discuss it more at my creativity blog. At my university, I was the first person done the grading and had my results entered before any other. Sadly, I am quite proud of that.
The camp went well, although it squeezed Christmas quite a bit. We had Christmas on Dec 20 and I was on the road to Gangwondo on the 23rd.
For more about my time in Gangwon, visit myGangwon blog for January. But first, here is a taste:
There should be a video from Boribong – the peak of Chiaksan National Park, as well. I’ll put that up when I can.
You might reasonably be wondering what I mean by ‘rootless’. Well, we are apartment warming for some family who will move soon. As near as I can learn, it is good luck to have a family move into an apartment as soon as it is bought. My in-laws are still working and their current apartment is still rented until the end of February, so we are spending the nights there. Does that sound strange to you? Good. I still haven’t figured it out. Anyway, we are commuting each night and morning.
As many have, I made some resolutions for this year and am already behind on them- I’m blaming the ‘rootless’ thing. One goal is to write 4000 words a week on my blogs. Now, you are unlikely to see 4,000 words in a given week here, but here or at Gangwon Notes or the Creativiti Project, it should happen.
It is tough to say what you will find on this blog. I remain a fan of human-powered travel, environmental issues, and teaching ESL but have learned enough to know I don’t know all that much about these fields. If I write about ESL, I want to do more than post a link and add one sentence of commentary.
I am also looking for extra work. My university pays me a great wage per hour- I get paid for February and work zero hours – but not so much per year. As a family man, I need to find some new sources of income. It is legal for me to do so, but I probably won’t go into many further details on the blog.
In the last four months of 2011, I somehow lost 3 kg and saw 89.—kg for the first time in many years. I want more of that -well, less of that, I guess. When I am more settled, it will be time to exercise regularly again. Until that time, I plan to hike when possible. My hiking in Gangwon Province was great and its time to do more of it.
So, come here often. I expect there will be more for you to read this year than last.
