Good man, thanks for asking.
Doing well at uni, started to rectify some relationships, won some prizes. Was humbled after being trounced in a national competition, which helped me realize it's important to invest time into the communities I'm a part of. Yeah, pretty smooth sailing for now. Hope everyone else is doing just fine. |

Pretty good. I am really enjoying my new job. I've been here for just over a month. I'm an English curriculum trainer based just outside of Seoul, South Korea. I get to travel all over the country going to different schools and kindergartens. I observe teachers and give feedback, as well as holding demonstration classes for the teachers to watch.
I am the only foreigner (read: white dude) in the office, and my Korean is pretty terrible, so it can get kind of lonely in the office sometimes. Hoping my Korean will develop and I'll continue liking this job as much as I do right now. Thanks for asking. |

It's been a pretty good week for me. I can't complain.
I went to a clinic to start some cosmetic treatments. I sent a textbook to Amazon as part of a trade-in and hope to get a 75 dollar credit. I finished reading A Game of Thrones. Started on book 2. Played some more Fallout New Vegas to see what all the hubbub is about.

Pretty good. Got a nice appartment (with some shared facilities, but the house and location are spectacular) in the new city I'm living in since last month. Still have to couch surf for 4 more weeks but then I have my own place again.
Job I took turned out better then expected, might grow into a position that's actually relevant to my education. Also turns out I'm earning a couple hundred of euros more then I expected - bonus! Most importantly, got great news from home - there was talk of need of an operation because a scan showed a lump/tumor on my mom's heart, turns out it's not there anymore - doctors puzzled but big relief! So, this week specifically has been one of those weeks were everything works out. Weather's nice, planning a 60-70K bicycle trip through the dunes here tomorrow, smoke some herb and chill out at the beach. |

This week was nice. Weather was great, studied a bit, went to the movies, had fun etc. Finished watching Game of Thrones with my dad.
Also got really drunk last night. Trust me, doing shots of straight whiskey isn't a good idea, holy shit. That coupled with sangria, pina colada, passoa, dropshot, amarula and a couple of beers makes for one hell of a night. And going to the beach tomorrow, and having a barbeque with some family members on sunday. So all in all, this week is pretty pretty good.

Been OK but lately, my motivation to do anything and everything to better myself has gone waaaay down, and it really upsets me when I think about it. If I weren't this lazy, I would have been graduated, from a better college. But yeah...
My niece's mother recently found out she may have ovarian cancer, but she recently had a baby, so we're looking in to... stuff... On the positive side, I've done some fun things when it comes to programming. Having fun making an Android game, and also trying my hand at the 6502, i.e. programming an NES. :p Sorry to hear about people's weeks not doing so well, especially geeko420... |

Awesome so far, went hiking, saw some sweet movies, played ultimate frisbee, found out our company is changing hands from a super corporate asshole company to a super enthusiastic indie dude, and met a new girl...if our date on Saturday goes well then...damn, best week in quite some time, and all without the use of alcohol :)

Pretty okay. Started off bad when I panicked and bombed my History exam on Tuesday. I hope I still do well regardless. Maths exam yesterday I felt went really well, probably an A. Physics today and then I have three weeks of nothing. That's gonna be the best part of my week - the end of it.
However, it is too goddamn hot in England and I don't like being outside atm. Doesn't help that I have half an hour of uphill walking to get into college each day. :( |

+ Finally got to talk to two guys that I've been wanting to talk to. I don't have many acquaintances let alone friends so new people to talk to is always a plus.
+ I finally got paid so I have some extra cash to buy a jacket since I don't have a good warm one and winter is coming soon. - I got the flu again. I just got better from one a few weeks ago and now I got sick again. Awful weather (really cold) doesn't help the situation. - Due to the flu, I missed out on 2 boxing classes and a few cardio exercises that I normally do. This sounds stupid but few days without cardio makes me feel like a fatass. My body just feels shitty and bloaty. - Birthday is coming up and I don't have money to buy anything else other than the jacket. It sucks to have your birthday coming up and you are dirt poor. Overall: meh.

Kind of weird.
While at work everything was fine, got praised by my boss for some work I did and all, at home things got a little tense with the girlfriend, and we're not really talking right now. Hope to get it all figured out by today, so that we can, at least, enjoy the weekend. |

Either I made up lies about the Boston Bomber or I fell for someone else's crap. Either way, I have absolutely no credibility and you should never pay any attention to anything I say, no matter what the context. Perm me if I claim to be an insider

Got an employee for the City of Tampa fired. That was cute.
4 coworkers got canned. Told Creepy Guy at work to stop being a dick. He whined to a co-worker about it and the co-workers said "You should really stop being a dick." |

It's been a mixed bag. This is far and away the worst week I've ever had at my job (which I started in August), BUT I really like it here, and the worst week I've had is better than the best week I ever had at my last job. I've also been getting a fair amount of overtime, which helps ease the sting of my work headaches.
Got a lot of stuff done around the house, and I'm still enjoying my short break from grad school. Looking forward to hanging out with my wife and some friends over the holiday weekend, even though is going to be suffocatingly hot. |

Pretty good, went to work earlier in the week the see the occupational health officer (dislocated shoulder) and she recommended that I take at least another two weeks off.
The weather has been brilliant in the UK this past week (I'm even starting to get a bit of a tan :P) so I've got a ton of gardening done, painted my fence, set up the new decking furniture and am ready to fire up the bbq tomorrow. |

Pretty good. Losing weight and feeling great!
Looking forward to the weekend and resting (non-workout) but getting a lot of yard work and house work done. |

Should be fully recovered from my recent bout of stomach ache I got on Tuesday. Also managed to finish my essay on time and hand it in the next day by starting it the day before.
Apart from that, week was essentially shit due to sickness, assignments and a few job application rejections. Still, things are better tonight though. Nice simple Japanese for dinner and now currently in gf's room ready to sleep soon. Looks like her dog has already taken my spot too on the bed. Time to claim it back. Nite guys! |

I recently went to my friends house to check out his wii. I was generally impressed. It was larger than I expected though.

Highs and lows.
Felt like shit during the week due to self pressure regarding my status as late 20's man. Then wife comes in yesterday and I tell her everything from my horrible eating habits lately to my lack of motivation. She laughs in a supportive way, tells me her own insecurities (turns out she sneaks out during work at 12:00am to get a coffee, doughnuts and fries) we laugh at how ridiculous this is, promise to each other to work together at this and then have sex for the rest of the night. I'll be going camping with my college bodies for the long weekend. Got hikies all over my chest. She wants to make sure no woman will touch me or that I will have absolutely no drive to even talk to them....cause she took it all last night. I'm OK with this! So yeah! I'm happy now. Can't wait for work to be over, get to the airport and ENJOY MY LONG WEEKEND! |

Fucking sucked. I bruised a rib last Friday playing ultimate Frisbee. Still sore as a mofo and it hurts to take deep breaths.
