1. Gym: I joined this gym that's less than five minutes from where I live and it has suddenly become my second home. If I'm bored, I just go there. I've become one of those people who have "gym friends." It still weirds me out a little. I've gotten hooked on the early morning yoga classes. I'm starting to sound pretty cliche, right? Anyway, I'm loving this new hobby, it's making me feel a lot healthier, and I'm actually committing to it - not just going gung-ho then fizzing out.
2. Home: I went home to Oregon over Memorial weekend, which was strangely not relaxing but a lot of fun. Usually when I go home my parents just want me and my brother to hole up and not go anywhere out of their sight, but they actually planned activities to do (all together, of course), which was cute. We went hiking at a waterfall, BBQed on the back porch, watched Slumdog Millionaire, played lots of ping pong, and rode the new downtown Portland tram (okay, it's not really new, but it's new to me since I hadn't ridden it before). Overall, A+.
3. Work: I'm the most senior reporter now. Not very impressive, really. It just means everybody has left and new people have replaced them. But regardless, I feel like I'm sort of responsible for "stuff" now. Uh-oh, better be careful.
4. Atlanta: I surprised Heej for her 25th birthday and got to catch up with many Atlanta friends. It felt so wonderful to be back there...and to not be in school. I really missed being in a car full of girls, or eating good Asian food, or just talking face to face. Sigh, so good. Overall, A+. The plane ride over there, however, with an early flight out of Vegas was brutal, B-.
5. Hiking boots: I just bought a pair of Timberland hiking boots and plan to wear 'em down this summer. My first excursion is going to be in two weeks. It's just a day trip, but it'll involve multiple water bottles, sunscreen and trail mix, so you better believe it's gonna be intense. And awesome.
That's all for now. I'll be around more often. It's summer time!

i liked your cliff notes version of the last 3 months. we definitely missed you in atlanta, i know heej misses you a lot. and congrats to you for everyone leaving the observer, was it? you should try to get your higher up's to leave and then you can take their jobs too. you'll be running that place in no time :)
wait, so you visited oregon AND atlanta during the memorial weekend? or.. am i just confused..? enoch got me right, i miss you a lot :D and thanks again for the surprise =D =D =D i like your grading system by the way ;)
@ enoch: I figured bite-sized bursts would be easier to write/explain and read. I'm not sure if I'll be around long enough to run the joint, but we shall see!
@ heej: I stand corrected - I visited Oregon the week before Memorial Day, which was when I was with you all. Hopefully I can come again in the future because that visit was entirely too fun.
wow... your paper has some mad turnover eh? :P That's exciting to be the senior-most person. Pretend you know what you're doing. hehehe. :P
yay for yoga, even early morning! I take yoga during lunch hour once a week.
Let me know the next time you're in ATL :)
@ Lee: Glad to hear you're enjoying the benefits of yoga, too! I'll definitely let you know in the future if I visit Atlanta. I hope it to be soon.
