Finally Friday!

Class went well--I got my quiz back and I got 8 1/2 out of 10 right!! I am definitely proud of myself! :) We've moved into chapter 6 and actually almost finished it today. Looks like we can almost get through a chapter a day. I was getting super, extra hungry at our 20 minute break, so I ran over to the college bakery and got some bread. Now, sometimes the things they put in Korean bakery is so so strange-sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. This one I thought was going to be bread and then on the top I could see baked/melted cheese and a few pieces of bacon. When I got back to school and bit into it, I found there was kind of a cream cheese/ricotta cheese 'filling' (it wasn't totally filled just a small layer of spread) and a long strip of bacon wrapped around the inside. It was definitely interesting. Not sure I would get it again.

After class, I ran to the E-Mart to get a few groceries for the upcoming week. I also bought a "thermos" so I can have hot beverages. I came back and then it was time to go meet Seok Kyung, my language helper. She had just gotten out of class at 3 and was really hungry, so we went to a restaurant. I think we had a spicy pork dish. All restaurants give side dishes when you order food, but this one gave an extraordinary amount of side dishes. I think there were 10-12 little sides!

I came back to my room and got a little bit of work done. In the evening, I went with my roommate to her friend and classmate's room (same building as us) and joined 2 other classmates/friends to eat and hang out. I invited Brian and he came to join us for a little before he went out to meet a friend in (downtown) Seoul. It was good because they did not know a lot of English--if they didn't know the exact word in English I would tell them to explain it in another way in Korean to see if I (we) could understand them. It was fun to practice speaking Korean too. I think it is easier when it is a bigger group of listeners than just one because they can try and work together to figure out your meaning--it's harder when it is only one listener trying to figure out what you are saying.
