So, I'm sitting in Missy's kitchen (at Carol and Darryl's). We are just finishing up making Deer Droppings to take up to the lake with us tomorrow and we are drinking Vodka and Hawaiian Punch. Yummyness. I just started my new job on Monday and so far it is pretty cool. All of the people that I work with are pretty great and always make me laugh ( Read more... )

So the days are passing pretty darn fast here! It's now Monday and I leave Mokpo on Friday...insane! My preliminary packing run went pretty good. I will definitely be able to fit everything in my suitcases - quite the miracle. However, I am still unsure of the weight. I'm going to go through and throw more stuff away/give things away. Fun ( Read more... )

So, I leave in less than two weeks. I fly out of Incheon on June 18th and land in San Francisco that same morning (I love it that I land before I left). Haha. Anyway, I am meeting Justin there and we are going to spend Saturday and Sunday touring around the city. I haven't looked into it very much yet but two of the places I want to visit are ( Read more... )

Patti made Indian food for dinner, it was quite yummy and plus we had watermelon for dessert! Yum :) This weekend should be pretty fun. Accept for my class tomorrow ( Read more... )

So, I brought my clarinet back with me because Mr. Bae had mentioned before Christmas that he wants me to play at the School Festival. Now, the school festival is next week and they want me to play in it...and haven't even given me the music yet. On Friday of last week, Hye Ryoung came up to me and said that they want her and I to play a duet ( Read more... )

I just finished a book called 'Flyy Girl' by Omar Tyree, an African American male writer. It was basically an ok read throughout - talking about the urban lifestyle through the eyes of a young girl through middle school and high school. Towards the end of the book I began wondering exactly what the point was and was hoping that it was going to be ( Read more... )

Seriously, there are many decisions to be made over the next couple of months. I know that ultimately they are my decisions to make but I would love some imput from my friends so here goes...

I have three options for when I come home - two for sure.

Days of Equality and Solidarity ( Read more... )
