My life so far...

My life as of late, is pretty boring, to be honest. It doesn't even really feel like I'm living across the world (with the exception of everyone speaking Korean). Basically, I've just been teaching, sleeping, and then occasionally hanging out with people. But I'll see if I can find some fun things for ya ^_^

Hmm, finally got an Alien Registration Card! And I went on Tuesday to get a phone.... but they can't activate it until Friday because of the holidays.

Right now, it's Chuseok, which is the Korean Thanksgiving. It's pretty sweet. I have three days off of work (Tuesday through Thursday), then I work manana and then I have the weekend off!! It's going to feel weird working a full week next week haha.

Saturday.... went downtown with the girls. We met up at this international beer bar, then we moved onto cocktails in a bag, and then ate some delicious pizza in a cup. And THEN we went dancing. It was a fun night.. surprisingly early, too. We ended up home around 2 am (much better than the other times we've gone out). Sunday, Diana, Natalia, and I went to go have dinner with some of the girl teachers at another campus. Rachel made some traditional Korean noodles that were absolutely delicious, and we just talked for hours. I definitely like having more cool girls around :)

Then... nothing happened until Tuesday. On Tuesday, I hosted a Chuseok potluck at my apartment. I bought a little dining table, borrowed Natalia's DVD player, and made chicken fettuccine alfredo... on top of all the dishes everyone made! It was a delicious, fun filled night. We ended up talking the whole night, completely ignoring my Wii and the DVD player! We also ended up on my building's roof, which is a nice little hang out spot.

Yesterday, Diana, Natalia, Keith, and I went over to a Korean teacher's (Hoon) house for a traditional Korean meal. One word, DELICIOUS!!! His mom is an AMAZING cook. She kept feeding us. I even ate shrimp! Shocking, I know. It actually wasn't that bad. Maybe I'll come out of Korea eating actual seafood, haha. We had sanpyoon, which is traditional rice dumplings filled with bean paste (the only non-homemade thing that was served). Hoon's mother just kept giving us more and more food. We were too full to move by the end of the night, so we just watched the Blind Side, which was such a good movie. Hoon eventually drove us home, and I had a sleepover at Diana's house.

Hmmm, currently, I'm working on lesson plans and watching Lost in Austen. The movie makes me want to smack Amanda Price upside the head, so I'm having conflicted feelings about the movie haha. I guess I'll decide when the movie is over. My internet is finally back! It went on a little vacation for Chuseok, so I am immensely happy that it's back.

Long post, but it's been a while. I'll post some pictures in a bit. I've been a bit lazy about taking them. And I swear, I'll update at least once a week. Even if my life is boring haha

XOXO
