A special and awesome happening going down in about 11 days. I can't tell you what it is yet, but as soon as I get the opportunity I'll let you know!

This next week is looking busy busy! The school is holding a speech contest for the students on Friday and rehearsal for the contest will be happening on Monday and Wednesday. The almost all-day rehearsals are topped with Kindergarten graduation photos that will be taken on Wednesday morning/afternoon for an estimated total of 4 hours. Upside to the photos, we get off work early on Tuesday to go home and 'rest' so that we'll look fresh and rested for the Kindy graduation photos the next morning.

Whew!

The speech contest is a huge deal at the school. A few of the best student speakers will be hand picked by the director to go to Seoul for the school's nation wide speech contest. It's hilarious... the majority of the speech scripts were practically written by the teachers for the students because the student's English writing capabilities are so horrible. This entire ordeal strengthens my opinion that English Academies in Korea don't focus enough on grammar and developing writing techniques and styles. The majority of what I've experienced the focus is on speaking and conversation, which is all well and good until you have to write an English paper. Then you're up grammar creek without a paddle and no skills in spelling or punctuation whatsoever.

Anyway, enough about school.

T-Tapp is going well. Still practice whenever I get the opportunity and I'm feeling it! I threw in a few more exercises to concentrate on my core muscles especially and I'm so sore! It feels great! I can already feel everything tightening up, and the results (not to mention how good I feel) keep pushing me onward.

However, I know that I'll have a difficult time doing this by myself. I don't know the first thing about training myself. I get loads of advice from my brothers (who are both gym junkies, and in amazing shape) and other guy friends who are teetering on 5% body fat, but everyone has something different to say and I'm getting just plain confused.

So I've decided to look for a personal trainer. I figure that it's the best move for me as far as my fitness goals are concerned. Since I'm looking for a real change and not a casual 'keep the lbs at bay' exercise plan I figure it would be best to go to someone who knows how to teach and encourage. So, yeah, I'm looking now. If you know anyone... haha

****NOTE****

I had a lot more written about the GMAT, but somehow in editing it was all erased and I pressed "Publish" without double checking so it's all lost! Ugh! I'll make a new post later to update you on what's going on with me and my horrible math skills.

The end of the last Saturday of November 2010 is fast approaching, and Sunday is on its way. Then busy busy week! WOW! 28 days until Christmas ya'll!!!! Woo!

Until next post,
