What do you know--it's Wednesday!

This morning I was a bit rushed getting to school. I had some business to take care of and was chatting with my Mom. I ran part of the way to school and made it before class started. (Lucky for me, the clock in the classroom is 2 minutes behind-it's unfortunate in the afternoon, but good if you are running late in the morning--which I tend to be...)

Classes were fine. I'm starting to wonder if I made the right decision to be moved up to the 2nd level. I know I am learning a lot, but I'm also quite shy and intimidated still to talk in class, therefore I do not actively participate unless provoked. I don't think that is good for my speaking skills. I'm also having to work quite hard just to stay at a basic understanding level and I'm sure I'm missing out on a lot, so maybe it would have been better to stay lower and take the time outside of class to practice the higher level. I'm not really sure. I do know that now that I've realized how my speaking skills are lacking, I will work on trying to speak more in class and with my roommate, language helper and other Korean friends. I must, I must, I must!

After class, I returned to my room and worked on some correspondence, talked with Jenny, and did my workout. I did some of my Rosetta Stone to supplement what I am learning in class and then headed out for dinner. I was supposed to meet Seok Kyung (my language helper) but she cancelled at the last minute (again) because she was meeting her professor--I did totally forget this is midterms week for regular Kyunghee University students though. Anyway, I was craving Isaac Toast's pizza toast, so I took a hike back towards school to get to Isaac's. Now, it's been well over a year since I've had pizza toast and from my recent chat with Ginger, I have found that Isaac's has actually changed many of their recipes (we exchanged details of what is on sandwiches and how they are prepared) and I've discovered it is not the same--even the one at Inje has changed (update from Ginger). So, the pizza toast was good (minus the sweet pickles I took off) but this time, there was not nearly as much cheese as my last pizza toast had--they only put a small pinch into the egg and veggie mixture. Speaking of the egg and veggie mixture, they also put mushrooms and green peppers in it which was a nice addition. I think there was only one pepperoni added as well. So, so sad. On my way back with my sandwich, I decided I would get a waffle for my dessert. Waffles are the IN thing right now. They are served folded in half with either ice cream, a frosting OR ice cream AND frosting in the middle. I pass a waffle man every day on my way home from school, but then I saw another shop and they had "caramel cinnamon waffle". It sounded too good to pass up. And when they handed it to me and it was still warm...well of course it did not last the 10 minute walk home (in the cold). I came home and had my sandwich and finished the other half of my waffle.

Then, back to the books! Study, study, study! I also had a nice study break talking to my Mom and Phil! :)

Pizza Toast! (Can you tell I was hungry and excited to eat this? There's already 2 big bites missing...tried to hide it for the picture!)
