Midnight in Suwon - Day 34

 
 
Hi midnight
 
Having a several things .. so many things done today.. I rather feel accomplished to have done so much.
 
Woke up this morning around 9, under the awareness of the several things I had to do today. I rushed for the library after changing my mobile phone number that was registered to the bank. I also checked my bank balance and headed to the library. I had to check my bank balance as I had downloaded this app that can help me to record down my expenditures and savings. On the way to the library, I dropped by at the Gyunggido-Center where I asked them how I can renew my passport.
 
Reaching the library, I sat at the seat I took the day before and checked out all the things I needed for today comfortably. There were quite a few things I had to. Firstly, I recorded down my bank balance in my phone and searched how I can get my refund for the 'Dance Sports' I applied. I finally decided to quit this. I was really really hesitant whether to quit this but I finally decided to quit as it was not like I can give a full attention to it. It is always a waste of time and money when you can't give your 100% focus to something yet you still hang on to it. On the way to the library, I actually contacted to the three of the Football Lesson centres. I plucked up the courage to call them. I was actually hesitant to call them at first as I was worried that they would have a bad impression of me when I do not register with their centre. It was easy picking out which one I should register for. The first one I called was not teaching for now and the second was doing its adult lessons but was more expensive and fewer lesson times compared to the other one. Having to reduce my options, I called the one that was most renowned and most systemized. It was clear that this centre was more systematized as they even had their own introduction of the centre before they connected me to the counselor. I had some talks with them and they invited me for a free training tomorrow. I decided my mind to register to this centre and began checking my balance whether I can have enough money to register for two months.
 
I prepared all the documents I needed for the refund and searched the way to get there from the library. There were several things I had to think over like buying a second hand bike as the gym was far off, choosing which gym to go, whether to go home earlier as there was football match and etc. Left the library when it was 2:30. As usual, I skipped lunch to save my money. I shouldn't skip lunch from now as I want to build my body up and skipping lunch is not a good way for losing my weight. On the way to get my refund, I called to my phone's operator company to check some of the stuff and also called gym to check out sth.
 
I reached the centre got back my refund and apologised them for having to trouble them so much. They were still so friendly. It is a place I would want to come back again to learn something. Mom called me so suddenly when I was still in the library. She was fuming and was really really angry. I didn't know what was going on. It was because of my sister. She was so angry that my sister was not able to catch up with English she was learning at her tuition centre and she wanted me to teach my sister. I did not like the idea of teaching her as I had not successed with studies in my life, yet teaching other people seemed like a bad idea.
 
On reaching home, I bought milks and corn-flakes for my breakfast diets. I also took photos at the studio to use them for applying new passport. I reached home in hurry and turned on the TV to catch the game. I was alone using the room and the atmosphere wasn't as bad as I'd thought. Mom prepared dinner as I was watching and as the game ended, I moved on to do what I was supposed to do after this. I got out to buy bike and register for the gym. Talking to the seller, I was able to get a discount of 2000won and I headed for the gym.
 
As I was gymming, I was looking for the trainer in the gym but she wasn't around today. However there was one old man who approached me to teach me. Everywhere you go in Korea's gym, there is always men trying to teach other people if a person looks new to gym. It seems like a great idea other people teaching new people but it is not always the best idea. They are not licensed trainers. They do teach wrong postures and wrong things. I wanted to just exercise on my own and do some running and head home. He wouldn't let me go for quite long. When I thought the long time of teaching was done, he brought me to other place to do other stuff and asked me to do three sets of all those he taught. I was thinking, 'I should come at different time tomorrow' haha. After all these leg, arm trainings I moved on to do 2.4km of running. It became the standard running everytime I start exercising after a long break. 2.4 is the minimum I should do. It was a hard one after resting for so long. 10mins were over and I was gasping and hardly breathed. Although I do not have this persevernance when it comes to studies, there is always a magical patience, perseverance and endurance when it comes to exercise. When I do have a target, I would always never ever give up or stop running until I acoomplish that. I do not remember a single time I stopped myself when I was running before accomplishing my target.
 
Showered in cold water and headed home. The feeling was really great to have done long hours of exercise and going home under a cold winds of January. And now I am once again like any usual days, in front of my laptop typing out the story of my day. A day full with achievements is always pleasant one. Thank you for today and hope I can accomplish what I have to do tomorrow.
 
Goodnight..
