Another update.

I'm waiting for my laundry to finish drying. The laundry machines here are pretty weird. The washer told me it'd take 40 minutes, and when I came back 35 minutes later, it told me that it had 30 more minutes to go. And I left my clothes in the dryer for an hour and they're still pretty wet. So while I'm waiting for my clothes to finally dry, here's an update :)

I am enjoying ALL of my classes, which is wonderful. I'm taking a Chinese Characters class where we basically learn about 25 characters a class. And it's a lot of characters, and she goes really fast, and there are a ton of people who obviously know their Chinese characters sitting in the class to get an easy A, but it's fine. I'm going to learn Chinese characters! Rawr! I need to make flash cards...

I'm also taking Traditional Korean Society and Modernization. It sounds really boring, I know, but the professor is this Canadian anthropologist who is in love with Korean culture and definitely has the outsider perspective, which I definitely wanted to have. And he's hilarious. We're going to cover a lot of Korean traditions, institutions and social issues, so it's basically history + culture all mashed together. My favorite. 

I'm also taking a Politics of North and South Korean class and I love this one too. It's super relevant with all of the N. Korea missile talks that are flooding the front pages these days. In addition, the professor is one of those scattered ones who's absentminded but supercool. He basically made giant books for us with all of our readings and carried them up the giant hill. He's awesome. 

And finally, I'm taking a Korean class. I love my Korean class. Everyone is so chill, and we have people from England, Indonesia, Japan, America, everywhere. We have two teachers: one for MWF, another for TTH, and my T/TH prof is really cool. I'll get to meet the MWF one and hopefully he/she will be awesome as well. 

And now.. PICTURES.



THIS IS BANANA MILK. THIS IS WHAT I LOVE AND I FINALLY GOT TO HAVE SOME SO YUM. Except the price went up. Last time I was here it cost 600W, but now it costs 1,000W. Lame. Inflation =\


A cute placemat! I went to Emmaus Christian Fellowship, which was amazing. I'll write more about it later as I get to know it more. I had an awesome time of fellowship and eventually we went out to eat. Yum yum. 


This was my table! Bryan, Joe, Joanna (yes, KCM people, that's Joanna), and ME! Hooray now you guys know I'm still alive. I'll update again soon :)
