so i'v been here for 2 weeks! wow i thought it was only a week, but i've completely lost track of time since i'v been here! i'v ben really busy!
the first day of school was alrightr but it wasn't like the normal days of school, which are also really fun! on teh second day i had a full day of classes. first, korean, then "practice korean" which is another korean class. then 2 classes, like social studeis and gym, which is what i had today. guy was fun, we just walked around outside, the gym teacher is so kick ass! it was just the exchange studnets in this class, we're all together for the first 4 classes. they are only 40 minutes long, or something insanely short like that. if feels like we are out of class more than we're in it! after those 4 classes we have lunch. everyone has lunch together, since the shcool is so small. i'm still getting use to the chopsticks thing, it takes a lot more coordination than i what i have. rice is teh easiest to eat. the kimchi here is so much spicier than what i tried in the us, i can't handle it. emilio doensn't even like it, and HES USE TO SPICY MEXICAN FOOD! lol
after lunch we all go back to normal classes, there are 2 more before school gets over. since the exchange studnents cant understand the lessons we just sit there and doodle or stuff. me and rose sit together and play cards. today she taught me the game speed, that is fun. its a good way to pass the time too. the teachers dont care what we do because they want the exchange students to be happy, so we can be late, or not pay attention and stuff, its great. i found the ping pong room on the second day too. that is sooo much fun!!! im not good at it but it doesnt matter! its sooo amusing! its a race to get there before there before the boys. the girls dont like to play, but i love it! it makes me laugh. :-) i play that in between all my classes. after school on saturday a big group of us went to julians house. his mom is soooo cool! she is the sweetest lady ever! it was really hot and they had a cook out on the roof, cuz they live on the highest floor of the apartment. its a really nice place, but i think i got sunburned during the cook out. then we watched kangaroo jack and made milkshakes! it was the best time. i had to leave early cuz the guitar guy was at my house.
on sunday my fam took me to a temple about an hour from our house. its really cool, it was really small though. compared to some of the temples i saw on the tour thing around korea. then me and host dad and host brother climbed the mountain all the way to the top, it was a looong climb, and it was soo hot. i got a pretty good sunburn too, it sucked! but it was refreshing to get to the top, you can see a lot from up there. it was really high up, wow, i was impressed wth myself. i got some pictures there too i'll have to add to my pic site soon. while i was at the temple i got to practice how they do the bowing thing to buddha. the monks do that for like horus at a time. i dont think i could ever do something like that in good conscience!
i was so tired at the end of the day! it was looong. then at 8 we went out to eat at areally nice restaurant, it was on the 10 floor and you could see all of seochoen. then my host mom came late, and told me she had bought me an amp for my gkuitar!! i was so happy! and they bought me cocktails at the restaurant, i guess its alright to do that here, and we can buy soju too with out id! kick ass! lol
today! finally! school taody was fun, korean korean practice, then gym! i love it, i pressed some flowers, they're diff from american, or at least maine flowers. social studies after gym but i didnt understand any of that! after lunch i got my ass kicked at ping pong by a mexican! haha jus kiddin emilio SARANGAEYO! lmao, *does heart thing over head*
the otehr mexican exchange student arrived. we all had super with her, she si soooo cute!! shes 16 korean years, so 15 american. but she looks a lot older. she so nice too, me and rose were gonna take her out shopping but kim teacher wasn't really cool with that idea, cuz dany needs more time to settle in i think. me and rose are still gonna go anyways. shoppign is so much fun! emilio is having so much fun with dany around. now he can talk to someone in spanish. hes in heaven. its so cool. she starts school tomorrow with the rest of us! she doesnt speak much english though, and no korean, so school for her should be interesting! :-( hope she catches on quick
so i guess i'll end this now, its really late n school tomorrow!! yay!
i got to tlak to mom on aol today it was so weird, but it was great! autie was on too at grams house, but mom said she wasn't feelign good. i hope she feels better! gram is doin alright i hear, i hope laurie gets to see her a lot! that would be fun.
i havent heard any thing else about jesse but any news is bad news i guess, so i hope he is doing better and i'm thinkin buot him a lot! :-( anywahs serioulsy all for now!
