Mundaneity...is that a word?

My Korean life is chugging along. I can't claim to be doing too much. Monday through Friday I go to work. I try to go a bit early and either sit at a coffee shop or at a park, both of which are close to the hagwon, to get some sunlight (vitamin-D) every day. By 8.30pm when I get out of work it's dark outside and any chance of daylight has passes. At 8.30pm I trekk to the gym, which is somewehre in the Seocho-Kyodae-area, and I work out. Working out after work has become the highlight of my day. It's more than strange to even utter those words, however; it's the truth. It allows me to "run off" and "sweat off" exhaustion, tiredness and other less desirable feelings I aquire at times. During work I'm happy-try-to-appear-at-least-go-lucky Marie teacher. Then I go to the gym and I can just be. I'm liking it. But talk about switching gears! LOL!
After my gym time I trekk to my bus, I go home, I eat and chill and I sometimes watch one of my room mates movies, and then I go to bed. Each day being a repetition of the previous day. Some days include a small venture from the norm - for an example, intermittently I have to do a purchase of such items as shampoo and conditioner or shoes. Tomorrow my adventure will be going to the fan-store and buying a fan. Cuz it's hot hot hot and humid. Well, more like humid humid humid and hot.
During my far and few between weekends, I mostly see and hang out with friends. I have made friends with three of my coworkers. Then I also hang with random friends. Then there is also the GOAL-KOROOT group headed by Daewon. This group is rather large and it's members are constantly chanaging.
Like I told you...pretty mundane. But very happy!
