1.) I can cook. My menu is kind of limited at home, because whatever I ( Read more... )

Eek. It happened! I called the Ministry of Health! Reason? I wanted to know if I could bring a years worth fo medication into the country. Turns out that I need a form, which they have to fax to me (and my fax number, I don't know what it is!), and then I have to send (the completed form to them) through snail mail, and then they have to send my ( Read more... )

Shayna, Crystal (the RA), Sue-Na, April, Valerie, Stephanie...and yet, even still, life ( Read more... )

God damn garbage truck, who comes  underneath my window every day, in only a couple more days I will be rid of you!!!!

Final at 10...here we go!

...that I am almost done with finals. Why is my stupid Korean class being so painful!? Well, probably because the woman taught us nothing in class, so now I am having to learn everything last minute. Sigh. Woe is me...I was studying from 8:30am to 12, and then from 1-2:40, but I couldn't take it any more and needed to not be looking at a computer ( Read more... )

...I would watch the sunrise.

I guess two cups of coffee does this to my body now. I've got to build up my tolerance again!

I'm excited! While I was practicing my kanji, I realized that Obon Odori will soon be coming up! This will be the third year I have been to it...and I like the fact that it is becoming a tradition for me. I mean, it is great because you build up to the excitement over two weeks with their practices. I always look forward to their practices, they ( Read more... )
