Phew, it took me this long just to catch up on blogging each day. If I miss one day it feels like such a heavy weight. I put a lot into this blog so I hope you all are getting something out of it. Today was Tuesday, and it was a good day.
I woke up and went to breakfast with YJS at CJ kitchen. That's the less popular place. It's actually a nice interior, but it is set up kind of strange. You decide what you want, and buy a ticket worth that amount. Then you scan the ticket at the station you want food at, and you tell them what you want. Seems rather unintuitive to me, and since I can't communicate well with the chefs I don't like going there. Someone else always has to order for me. One time I tried by myself and the chef kept demanding my ticket, and I tried to explain to her that I was with the K-PACE program but she couldn't understand. That was pretty embarrassing and frustrating as I was holding up the line for the entire soccer team behind me.
I got my favorite bulgogi bibimbap from there and put a good helping of 고추장 (Go Chu Jang) a red chili paste. After breakfast I headed over to class to get my homework done. Yet again I was held up from finishing my homework before bed last night so I left it for the morning. I always get to class about half an hour early, so I use that time to study or in this case finish homework. I got it done just in time thankfully.
Today was more of a review session than anything else. That helped me a lot, and I look forward to some more review when we can to straight out the things in my head that aren't quite there yet. I still have plenty of homework to finish for tonight, but the big news is that we have a field trip tomorrow! I went into class having completely forgot about it. We are going to a 딸기 (Ddal Gi) strawberry farm tomorrow about an hour and a half from campus.
This is going to take all day, we leave at 8:30am and don't get back until 5pm. I'm excited since it is apparently a very big farm. I guess it used to be some of the king's land. We are taking a chartered bus, and spending a day outside the campus. This will be good as I haven't spent a whole lot of time outside campus since I got here.
I was supposed to workout with An Hyo Sang between lunch and dinner today but I just didn't have it in me. I came back to the dorm and my roommate was sleeping so I decided to join him. I didn't wake up until dinner time. Afterwards it was time to head to the rec center with the students.
They are hilarious at the rec center. One of them always wants me to help him workout. He is extremely skinny but works very hard using free weights. I spotted him on bench and made sure that he wasn't doing anything that would hurt him. He is pretty experienced though, he goes to the gym every day. Most of the rest of the students just mess around on the machines, or on a bike or treadmill. They get about an hour to work out then it's back to the dorms to check homework and head to bed.
That's my time to get to my blog and my own homework that I so desperately need to do. The teacher assigned a two day assignment that consists of about 10 pages in our workbook. While it shouldn't be too difficult, it will be time consuming so I need to get to work if I'm to finish before bedtime.
In other big news my roommate is moving out. I guess one of the students punched another student and was therefore sent home for the semester. He might even be out a year. So my roommate is going to move in with the student who is left alone. This means I have my own dorm room. I'm going to miss YJS but it's probably for the best. Thanks again for tuning in! I'm sure I'll have a lot to report about the field trip tomorrow.
Korean Word/Phrase of the Day: 어디에 가요? (Eo Di Eh Ka Yo) this means "Where are you going?". Always a useful phrase.
TL:DR I'm in Korea.
