추석

This last weekend I had my second-to-last three-day weekend in Korea! On Friday Molly and Jesse and I went to 포항 (Pohang) and laid on the beach all day. I am excited to report that my legs have tanned imperceptibly, an unprecedented event in my life. The rest of the weekend was full of long walks culminating in a huge container of ice cream split by Miss Molly and myself on Sunday evening.

This weekend was the biggest Korean holiday (추석/Chuseok). Koreans get together, eat lots of food, go and visit all their ancestors' graves and tell family histories. Mrs. Kim made us japchae and lots of other good things I don't know the names of to take home on Thursday night after work, so we all had quite a treat.

Other that that I've been having class with my friend 임연정 (Eim, Eyun-jung) pretty much every day, working on college interview skills (which has been awesome) and am starting to think about how I need to pack for my trip home. Happily for me Maija and Terry have decided to drive down to Arizona, so I'll just fly straight to El Paso, TX to be with Heather and then catch up with them for the ride back to Portland. Wow, that sounds like a plan. It's amazing to be close enough that I can really plan it, but I'm SO excited to eat Mexican food!!!!!! And I'll be in the best possible place for it!!!!!!!! *Sigh* now I'll never be able to go to bed . . . I'll have to go check out my new book.
