september, october, november, december, january, february and march

September is going by so quickly. Soon it will be October and that’s one more month closer to my departing date. I started back at TKD this morning. I’ll be taking classes at 10 in the morning. Getting up so early does not thrill me but it will be good to get out of bed at a regular time. Also, Lucy has been psycho about wanting me to come to the same class as her. She just started again too, and she’s the only one in that class. Knowing this I can fully understand her craziness about my attendance.

Overall the first class went fine. This school is supposed to be an English TKD school so it was a bit confusing for me. I am used to having the instructors give me orders in Korean. I’m even unsure of the English names for kicks and punches. As expected, I knew that it would be like starting at square one again. That’s what happens when you stop practicing for months. Within a few more classes though I’ll be all gung ho again in preparation for my higher belt test.

In my apartment building there’s an intercom system. The superintendent uses it for general announcements for the building. Actually, I have no idea what he says. For all I know he could be telling us what he ate for lunch. The first time I heard his voice I was frightened. Now whenever I hear it, like this morning at 7:30, I just ignore it.
