Mixed Feelings Over Hangul
Too bad I haven't regularly been able to blog anymore because I've got some good stuff going on. You're missing out on all sorts of revelations and crazy stories! Just kidding. Lots of friends still getting engaged and married, going out, having a good time, etc. I don't know what I'll be doing this weekend. The weather is getting chilly and the rainy season is starting. If you have any bright ideas, drop me a line.
I am now taking a Korean language class. It's been "entertaining." My professor is an uber-hyper, Korean lady who spends half of the class telling us that Korea is the best country in the world and how Korean is obviously the best language ever. Most Koreans have a lot of national pride, I know, but my professor is a descendent of King Sejong so she really gets into it. Koreans and their damn Narasarang, eh?
Learning how to read, write, and speak Seoul dialect --whilst my family only speaks the Gyongsang dialect-- has been confusing, humbling, exciting, scary, and not yet rewarding. But I take it one day at a time.
If I think of anything else exciting, I will let you all know...

I can barely speak English half the time...

I'm learning Spanish these days. Nothing very conversational, however... (e.g., "Chofer! Despacio, con sus manos arriba, bajese del carro con su espalda hacia mi!")
