Time to go back

It's been already three months since I got back to Korea. I haven't done much this summer, but I took a good rest, and hopefully it will help me to focus on my work when I get back. Now, it is time to go back to my life in the states: studying. It is always exciting to get into the new environment and I hope I would adapt to it without much problem like many times before.

One study found out that when someone decides to do something, his brain can endure 3 days of stresses from following the decision. That is, it normaly does not happen that people decide to do something and keep that going for a long time. People need to refresh their decision every 3 days. Looking back before I came back to Bates, I thought my biggest problem was the inconsistency, but the real problem was the ignorance of human nature of the inconsistency. I will keep this in mind, and there are a few things that I have decided to do this time:

- try not to seek for a respose but rather try to get busy.

- try to minimize socializing but rather try to work on my own studying.

- try not to eat much and try to work out at least 3 times a week.

I realized that I love myself very much and I know that I won't let myself fall into a pit.

I believe in my abilities to make myself proud. Let's try.

Heavy

Hell yeah, I started playing tennis yesterday and even getting individual lessons from today. And I realized that I actually gained too much weight and it's really hard to move my ass around to hit the balls. damn it.

Yeah, I really need to lose weight. I will start lifting weights and also reducing whatever I eat.

Let's see what happens.

Starting a blog

This blog probably is the third or fourth one I have ever made. I had tried so hard to keep it updated, however, never succeeded for many reasons: studying, dating, working out, etc.

Whatever, I am starting another one again. This time, I have a quite solid objective to keep it updated. Since I have nothing else to do in Korea after graduation, I need to find something I can keep myself busy. Surely, I have to work out, lose weight, study, take my professor around Seoul, ... I've got many small things to do, but this time, I will record whatever I have done for the day and whatever I have thought about on the day in this blog, which I believe that would help me organizing my life so much better. Also, hopefully my writing gets better, too.

As a start, here are things that I have in my mind.

Studying

- Econometrics:
I have had a hard time because of metrics in my college year. Before I start my grad school, metrics will be the first thing I should make myself comfortable with.
- Mathematics for Economics:
I am not too sure if I have to study for this; however, math will be the only strength I have, compared to other grad school students
- International Economics:
Professor Riera comes to Korea to teach International Economics in Yonsei University, and this will be a great opportunity to organize what I have learned in college and will learn in grad school.
- Spanish:
Should I start learning a new language or learn more on the language that I have learned: Japanese and Chinese?

Sports

- Tennis:
It is positive that I will have an individual tennis lesson on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Excited.
- Golf:
Dad wants me to swing 1,000 times before hitting A ball. Hope it works.

Preparation

- Furnitures:
IKEA baby!


Let's try.
