Monday. Back to school. I felt very unprepared after the weekend. As it turns out, I didn't finish all of my workbook pages that I was supposed to turn in, so I felt like a really bad student. I also found out that one of the adoptees (the woman from Switzerland) will be joining my class. I know she speaks very good English, so I will have an ally--except she is headed home early, after midterms end unfortunately because her mother was diagnosed with cancer.

For lunch I went and got kimbap and ramen to bring back to my room. Again, I had soup in a bag placed in a bowl. Still seems a bit strange to me. Maybe next time I will just have to eat in the restaurant!

In the afternoon I did my homework and prepared for my interview. For dinner...I have a confession to make. I was feeling a bit nervous for my interview, so I decided I should stick with something I am familiar with. So, I went to the Subway across the street and got an Italian BMT. Isn't it amazing that I can be halfway around the world, yet still have my favorite Subway sandwich?

Right before my interview I had a chance to talk with my Mom. I was able to make sure my camera was at the right angle and I looked good and all that jazz. Then, it was time for the interview! Becca and Bea were really nice and it felt more like a conversation than an interview. After 30 minutes, Becca told me that I would have a 2nd interview and she would email me details in the next few days! What an amazing opportunity it would be to share my gifts and work with a company like the Ties Program!

Mmm...Subway!
