Intro

Another year, another intro. It's already the third one that I'm writing, which means that I've actually managed to keep this journal alive for two years. January first, what a meaningful day. When actually every single day is a chance to do something right, or to start something new. Still, it sounds promising. Sure I have thought about resolutions, but last year has shown that I'm not too good with those. 

For example, drinking half a litre of water every day. Didn't work out. I tried, I really did, but before long I stopped thinking about it and the idea dried out before it became a daily routine. Another example, getting up every day before nine o'clock. Well, sometimes I open my eyes and it's ten. I find it hard to fight sleepiness. I wish I were one of those people who can just get up once they're awake.

So instead of making new resolutions I've told myself to try once more what I haven't accomplished last year. And in addition to that Sumin and I have decided to try and leave the city once a month. Leaving Korea is a bit of a stretch, so we've settled on leaving at least the metropolitan area. It sounds like no big deal, but believe me, once you live in Seoul it's hard to escape its debilitating machinery.

For some reason I'm not as excited about the new year's grand opening as I was last year. I wonder why that is. Perhaps it's because last year I knew that I was going to graduate and move here. Different to now I had an achievable goal in the foreseeable future, something specific to look forward to. My life in Seoul, that is. And I am happy to be here. I enjoy every moment, doing what I'm doing. 

Let me quickly say thank you to everyone who is reading this, especially my friends and family who are scattered all over the globe. I really appreciate all your support. I don't say this enough, but it's important to me that you know this. Also, everyone who has left a comment for me to read. It's exciting to receive feedback, so please continue to leave a word every now and then.

Thank you!
