Current status

 I have nothing to write about, but it's not really my fault.

Nowadays every week is a copy of the previous one. Monday-Friday we teach the kids, on Saturday and Sunday I sit around home and work on various little projects. Walk the dogs a lot. Listen to podcasts and audiobooks. Cook food. Wrestle with GERD (I haven't had a drink in months). 

The pandemic and GERD really put a hamper in my social life. I don't really have many friends here, and lack the ability to make new ones due to a continual high focus on fixing my GERD. I've been fighting in for several years now, so I know the drill for the most part. I think I'm coming out the woods slowly but surely, yet until I'm out I can't really make plans with people or hang out (especially in Korea due to most Korean food being off-limits for me, and every social gathering being an excuse to get drunk). 

But honestly I'm ok with my life right now. I do 2 minutes of thankfulness meditation every day, and there's a lot to be thankful for. I like my routine. I'm healthy enough to where I can start learning the piano again. I finished learning a more basic version of this song recently: 

I don't have the equipment to record my version but maybe in America I can upload something. 

I've started to learn coding again. Made a prime number finder the other day that looks something like this: 

This program can find really big prime numbers, but my computer's too slow to actually find the prime numbers in a reasonable amount of time. That, and/or I just coded it inefficiently. But I tested it out with smaller numbers and it works alright:

I'm working my way through this book:

It's around 1200 pages long, and there are some online chapters that add on another 500 or so pages. My goal was to finish it by the end of this year but due to GERD I had to take a break for several months so I'm only on page 452 right now. I have yet to learn anything that will impress my wife - no graphics or anything that you can click on and move around. 

We've been slowly working through the 12-step process to getting Song's visa ready.

I'd say we're currently on step 6. We've gotta fill out form DS-260. It's long and they ask you anything and everything. Here's a link to the 111 page sample that explains how to fill it out.

Will we ever get to America? Who knows. WW3 could happen at any moment it seems. Covid seems to slowly be fading away, I guess. Everyone's mostly forgotten about it, but that's mostly just cause people are apathetic and not really because it's less of a problem.
