City Life

I've been extremely negligent with blogging, but I'd rather not force bad posts and let things be for a bit until inspirations strikes again.

We've moved to Seoul, a city bigger than New York and life is very different here. Gone are the days of sitting with nothing to do (mostly). There are a group of soldiers and spouses here much more matched to our life situation- no kids, fairly educated, adventurous. I attend gym classes regularly with friends, am signed up for a 7k in a month, am hosting a book club soon and we have friends stay with us nearly every weekend. I'm also hoping to do some intensive Korean this summer, which I'm really looking forward to. In this rush the job hunt has slipped in priority, and the jobs I have been able to find have been nothing special. In fact, I've found three jobs that lit my fire since we moved, all of which were at our old location. Cruel fate. On the other hand, I've started probing some really cool volunteer opportunities with nonprofits and NGOs here and I expect at least one of them will pan out.

But overall life is looking up. Up from a year ago isn't hard, but I'll take what I can get and start climbing.

Vocab of the day: 
Korean: 낙천가 (nag chon ga) = optimist
Military: NFL = New Foreign Launch
