no fight

I've spent today so far alternating between bits of school work and swimming in the pool. Its finally hot enough to, which for me is about 95.

Last night I started learning Korean. Its much harder than any other language I've studied (french, italian) which is logical but still surprised me. I did the first lesson one and a half times and still all I can remember is "shay-lay-za-man" which is excuse me. Oh, also "ney" is yes, which is confusing, and "anni-yo" is no. "Ha" is speak and "bowh-tay-yoh" is don't speak. I learned some other things but I can't remember those.

Oh, something a bit crazy happened this morning. There's a program husband wanted to get into, but if he did it would put me in a bad situation for about 5 weeks. It seemed to me like he was valuing his job over me by wanting it. But instead of getting mad and confronting him, I prayed that he would realize what the program would mean for me, and that other opportunities would come instead. Then this morning I told him how I felt and he said I was right and he'd look for other ways to be a better soldier, and maybe do that training next spring when we have to be apart anyway. I left feeling closer to him rather than mad or that empty feeling after a fight.
