Insomnia Part II

It is now 5am..and currently I have been awake for 46 hours.  I am not tired.  I wonder sometimes about the brain.  How funny it can be sometimes.  It demands sleep and you cannot function unless you obey..and sometimes..like now..it rejects sleep and stays aware for what purpose?  The worst part is knowing that soon it will again start demanding to sleep, at exactly the time you should be most aware. 

I awoke a little late this morning, around 7:30am, to a slight chill in the air and sullen weather.  Heading to the gym early in the morning has become my routine, as well as greeting the traffic guards who appreciatively greet me in broken English with genuine smiles.  When they see me coming, they smile and stop the traffic for me to pass…such simple acts I really appreciate.  After training with my friend Aaron for about a month now, I have picked up many of his habits, as well as his apetite.  Aaron eats like an animal.  There is no reasonable explanation how or why his body can sustain the amount of food that it does, and I am amazed and in awe to see the spectacle of his quantitative consumption during a meal.  Nevertheless, i have definitely an increased apetite, and find myself craving food more often.  There is nothing really new in my routine these days.  On Mondays,  I work out in the mornings, study in the afternoons, go to class in the late afternoons, and box my ass off until night.  Afterwards I grab lunch at a local restaurant, my favorite, usually ordering Bul Go Gi Dol Sot Bap..also my favorite.  Meeting people everyday however is a true joy, and I sincerely feel happy and blessed to have the ability to bring smiles to random peoples faces.  Whenever I feel depressed, a lot of people can sense it and ask me if I am ok…and this I also really appreciate.  I think it goes to show that kindness and going out of your way to be a “better” person has its rewards, especially if you do it for the right reasons.  Korea is wonderful, and is treating me very well.  My perspective of it has changed slightly since I have arrived, but this is now my home. . . now if only I could figure out the subway system…I will be indominatable!!

im getting a little sleepy now..so a new day awaits me..in approximately 1 hour 45 minutes.  Cant wait to get started.  . .:(
