Today was Ri's birthday !! HAPPY BIRTHDAY RI!! me seo-jong ri and yea-lim went out to eat pizza. we met up with julian and all went to the noraebang. at lunch dany brought in a cake for her, with candles and the whole deal. the camera men were all over that! haha. it gets soo old because everything is so fake. oh oh please redo that, yah your walk from the cafe to the school, except with all these people, and pretend your friends with them, and your on your way to class to talk about what you are going to learn. yah sure what ever you say. dany absorbs it like mad. I'd rather not. but they left today, and it was sad, cuz some of them were really nice. Micah Chun, who reminded me of cassidy sooo much, it was frightening. she was so easy to talk to and her english was good.I felt more comfortable around her cuz it's like just talkin to cassidy. the interviews were horrible, like always. the questions are so repative, and i don't know how to respond. maybe i'll get better as they go. More likely I'll develope a phobia for camera crews. before they left they got pictures with us, and they will send them to us which is nice. I haven't seen any of the picutes any of the other photo people have taken. They wanted us to visit them in seoul some time too. Micah lives in seoul and said just to email here when we were coming and she would meet us at the train station. gotta love that! It was sad to see them go though. I'm not going to miss the oh please redo this, or please pretend you're doing this...

Over the weekend I went with my family to Gunsan shopping. It has a really cool outside mall. I wish seocheon had something like that! I want to go to a city when we go to highschool, but I odn't know if I want to leave this family. I'll miss Ji-eun. we have so much fun. she's great! and bean too....haha bean needs me! I don't have to make that decision for another few months so I'm not going to worry! ok off track, sorry. after gunsan we went bowling!! I haven't gone bowling for sooo long! I didn't do too bad. Ji-eun is terrible at bowling. He best score was 15. no seriously, 15. haha she is a good sport about it. Mine was 102 the first time and 87 maybe the second game. that was etnertaining. I think I'm going bowling again this saturday with yea-lims family!

Speaking of bowling....rose hasn't been in school and being a good friend and all i was really worried. I hadn't seen her since friday when seh stayed the night. it's funny, i talk to my american friends and during every conversations, 'so where's rose at', always comes up! hah they don't love me they just want rose! i see!! but no i love rose. We had a good long phone conversation about....radish duck feet? and pooping off balconies. it would be pretty funny to die falling off a balcony trying to take a poop. wow what would the media say? i'd never know cuz it is in korean, and i'd be dead. but its still entertaining to think about.:)

Ummm on saturday... I got my hair cut! ( uhhh and that's exciting?) no really it is! and mom says oh wow you look like tracy! but no.... i don't think so. I'm still "the cute one, she's just my sister" remember that madam belgium! hah!

I'm in normal classes now!! graduating from our secluded 5 student class to a big classroom with normal classes is like graduating from special ed! yay for me!! yay for me!! I like having the social interaction wth the other students not just the exchange students. not that I didn't absolutely CHERISH all the time i spend wth my exchange student friends! i do! :) ahh Jin-Suk moved today! omg i forgot to tell rose, she'll be devistated to find out tomorrow! crap...i'm a bad friend. I'm really really going to miss Jin-suk!! she is so sweet!!!! we had a party for her in our english class yesterday. that made her a little teary...:( awww! she is moving to seoul to go to a highshool there. Who knows why, and it wasn't her decision. I got some pics of us today before she left, which I will have to post asap!

I think the elementary school went well today, it was only me dany and emilio that went. Got in a fight with the 5th grade teacher and started going off on him in english that he didn't understand at all. come to my class now!! we have english!! you need to study!! in his all hitler ish voice. and me, yah i alreayd know english, and kim gabin specifically told you we werent here to teach english. that's what started it. stupid english classes. But besides taht everything went smoothly!

it's late and my host mom is nagging me to get to bed. They love to nag, honestly, it's always something. very few things about htis family irks me, but the nagging is one. i can't start the first thing they tell me to do before they are on my case about something else. please, chill. let me be, i got this under control! uh but anyways, i'm off to bed, I didn't get nearly enough sleep last night!
