Breaking Bad Habits

"Habit, if not resisted, soon becomes necessity." -- St. Augustine

So, I have decided to give up my bad habit of getting on Facebook. I realized that I spent entirely too much time doing absolutely nothing! I mean I loved the site for keeping in contact with family and friends back home, and adding the new friends I met here in Korea, but at the same time I despised the site for consuming so much of my day!


I am well aware that I was not forced to spend that much time on it, but sitting in front of a computer at work all day made it far to easy to just hop off and on of the site all throughout the day. Also, since I don't have a couch at my apartment I find myself sitting at my desk alot. I started working out at the gym a few weeks ago, so I figured I'd try to spend more time there in the evenings than sitting in my apartment. Overall, I can't complain about all the free time I have living here in Korea, I just needed to adjust some things!


As far as other updates in my life, the last couple weekends have been spent in Daegu just hanging out with friends. Two weekends ago was my friend Lea's birthday, so we went out for dinner in Daegu Saturday night.

And this past weekend was of course spent celebrating Thanksgiving! While I wished I could have been home hanging out with the family at my parents house like we do every Thanksgiving, I was happy that I got to spend it with some great friends here! My girls in Daegu were invited to the army base where the guys cooked us teachers an amazing meal! I don't think they forgot any of the traditional foods. It was great! What was even more fun was that we played monopoly (which was turned into a drinking game, lol) and then afterwards we played spoons! Seeing as spoons is a game my family loves, I was so happy to be spending Thanksgiving just hanging out with friends. Of course, we went downtown afterwards! Here's a few pics:

PLAYING SPOONS!

YES, KRISTIN TOOK A PIE DOWNTOWN LOL

The following day was spent just taking it easy with the girls. We went to a cafe which I discovered has amazing yogurt smoothies and giant apple-cinnamon muffins! Then we ended our day with a late lunch/dinner at the Indian restaurant we love. I think all of us are obsessed with this place and we freaked out when we thought it had shut down. Turns out it had moved locations, lol. I never thought I'd be such a fan of Indian food, but then again I've discovered lots of new things that I love since moving to Korea!

As for next weekend I will be doing yet again another "first!" I am going snowboarding at a resort near Seoul! I'm going with a bunch of my friends through an organized group, so I'm curious to see how it all turns out. I signed up early so I got a discount price atleast! I just hope I don't injure myself too bad snowboarding! Lol. Anyone who knows me, knows how uncoordinated and clumsy I can be at times! Wish me luck!!

Alright, that's it for now. Maybe since I quit Facebook, I will be updating more on here!

XOXO,
