Going places

Okay well then. How are you? Let's start today with a quote:

"Happy are those who dream dreams and are ready to pay the price to make them come true." -Leon J. Suenes

I enjoy quotes. I find them really useful as inspiration for my life and they help me stir up my creativity. This one I have used in the past several times. I think its one of those realistically inspirational quotes that make one realize there is a price to pay and consequences for one's actions. I don't mind that though. Sacrifices need to be made to achieve anything worth while. One of my managers also enjoys quotes. I think it is good to have a base of inspiration laid around a shared success.

Speaking of my job... We have a rating program that goes around and makes sure the employees are doing their jobs right, and ensure best quality experience, and blah blah blah etc. I was recently rated and received a perfect 10. I hear this is a big deal, but I only received the news via txt message so I don't know the details yet. I also hear I won something (beside prestige of course). This was announced on a Friday night. I normally always work that night, but I took it off to have dinner with Eric, and his family.

The whole day was really wonderful. I finished part of my new class I'm taking. Did I tell you about that yet? I'm taking a class to be a better English as a Second Language (ESL) Teacher. Why? Oh well because Eric and I are going to teach English in South Korea this coming spring. Then I read a bunch of the book I'm reading (Lord of the Rings, Fellowship of the Ring). I made goals for the month of November (I'll list those later). Then we went to a really awesome hot yoga class at Tribalance studio.

Yoga is so awesome. I am getting stronger, and more confident in my strength. Its so nice to be

fit again. Each teacher at the studio has a different style, but its all basically the same format. Poses for strength, poses for balance, ab workouts, tension-release relaxation. The different teachers have different followers and its sort of obvious which teach the more advanced classes, and who is more dedicated to beginners. I like to mix it up and work on different things in each class. The hardest pose for me to do is always half moon. I've included a picture.

Anyway back to my quote. Eric and I got accepted to teach next spring with the S. Korean government. So we have not so much time left here in the states. I am really excited about this change. I get excited at the tiniest steps toward being more independant and "adulthood". Sure being responsible is a bit arduous and I often wish I could just not work, but it is also incredibly fulfilling. We'll be leaving sometime between Feb 14th and the end of April. We'll know the details for certain in December.

Okay so here is my list of November goals:

Finish LOTR I

Start LOTR II

Start reading CASCA

Finish 15/20 of my course modules

Practice a bit of rosetta stone

Go to yoga 3 times a week.
