so i dont really feel like typing at the moment. but i know that i am trying to be more consistent with keeping in touch so, i shall. the good news is i have tons of new pictures for you to look at, thanks to mr bae giving me a cd of pictures from our last few meetings. :) so enjoy!

hmm, last weekend was craziness - pure craziness. i will modify an email i sent out the other day describing the past week and a half:

anyways, so lets start with last week... usually i dont go out after work its too hard on me. im lazy. but last wednesday i met up with one of my friends to see the movie the strangers and for some japanese food! then thursday night yanny and i went out for our "celebrate open class is over" party. we went and saw "wanted" with angelina jolie and then had some dessert. it was so much fun! then friday i went out with minu, soon and some other koreans because soon is headed to san franscisco beginning of august for 2 years to get his masters. so we went to noraebang and we sang some crazy songs! because we had to find the mixture of english songs they knew and i knew. soon knows and likes the music i like but the other koreans don't know as much. so we sang somewhere over the rainbow, all i want for christmas by mariah carey...oh man it was sooo funny! then on saturday i went with vivi and her friends to a photo exhibit for a photographer i met a few weeks ago - which really cool. his pictures were all using smoke...i think he used incense smoke so it was really thin and beautiful. and didnt look like smoke at all. really cool. then we had dinner, and coffee at sweet coffee shop on a mountain. and then we went to vivi's friends house and hung out all night and then went to noraebang again. i love it! again i was the only foreigner.

you think id know more korean by now!!!

then on sunday i went to carribean bay with the baes and i finally met my little brother - baejees brother who is in the army right now. there is no johnny depp at carribean bay...sadly....its a giant waterpark where everyone wears a bikini and you can walk around barefoot! it was a fun day.

then on tuesday i met up with sanghoon and we went to seoul forest and the han river because i love grass and water. it was so nice. just walking around and talking. he wants to be a sports agent and he has a connection and the connection told him he would take him to Turkey in December if he can improve his English. so now i give him homework and i am really trying to help him.

then wed i had to clean my apartment because as you can imagine it was disgusting. not that i dont know how to clean, but when its just me..i dont like to clean.

today was play doctors and nurses day at kids club. sooo much fun. i love it! those kids are so funny and we had alike a dentist, ear, eye and then obgyn. and some kids had babies!!! oh my gosh it was sooo funny! so thats my life. its going so rapidly.

then sarah arrived on friday so friday morning was work to find her because unlike what she was told, she doesn't live at nowon station - she lives about 2 stations away. but after some work we figured out where she was and met up before work started that morning. then friday night we went and found sally who is sarah's high school friend who is teaching in ssangmun - 2 stops away in the other direction. sally has got the hook up with a sweet apartment and has been here about 2 weeks. (don't you love how my writing has no organization or flow at all? wow!) so we hung out with her friday night after having some pizza.

saturday - sarah and sally were introduced to seoul stuff - my friends who you always see in the pictures. we had a great time with noraebang! oh how i love it! and a good night out in hongdae getting a feel for the artsy, college area.


the past few days have been filled with, wow, this is weird. yeah, this is weird. so weird. we are in korea and you are here. wow. i probably acted like a big dork because im not used to having first of all foreigners around, plus people i know...so i tend to just kind of act crazy and well not crazy, just normal for me. :) so its been a refreshing weekend...

but tomorrow is monday....


and life begins.

(i don't like this quote. because everyday is life. so then i thought lets say "and real life begins" but i don't like that either. the idea that my real life is determined by work. hmmm, but at the same time we have been living in a somewhat suspended reality this weekend going here or there with no thoughts or demands on our schedule...yet. so maybe the world enters the picture tomorrow. hmm, yeah, well go with that.)


but tomorrow is monday...

no longer shall we enjoy our suspended reality....


and the rising sun brings with it the demands and schedules of the outside world.
