We got the results of our midterms today! I did the best in grammar which really surprised me. I felt that was the hardest and I didn't know the most, but I scored an 87% on that test. The next best was listening at an 81.5% (I'm kicking myself because we went over the test and I always get the numbers 1 and 2 mixed up --"il" and "i" and so I wrote it down correctly as I heard it, but I picked the wrong number! :( Sad.) The reading was a 73%. The writing test we got back and looked at, but there was no score--the red pen was not all over my paper, so I'm hoping for a decent grade and we also did not hear about our speaking test score. Overall, I'm actually satisfied with my scores. We also talked about our upcoming fieldtrip and started chapter 15.
After class I came back to my room to relax for a little. Then I went out and did some errands. I had some prep and help from my friend Ahyoung and learned how to ask for stuff for getting my haircut....so off I went on my own for a haircut!!! After that, I got some groceries AND I finally bought a frying pan! I know I should have done it a long time ago, but... Anyway, it's a cute little thing. I saw one that had a pretty light green color on the bottom, but it was made in China--I'm really trying to steer clear of Chinese made things for the moment--so I passed even though I loved the color. I also bought a small bowl (also Korean made). After my errands, I came back to my room and did some homework and housekeeping stuff.
Brian and I made plans for dinner, but at the last minute he told me he was meeting with his classmates. I debated for half a second about going out on my own and then made mandu (dumplings) in my new pan!
After my rice and mandu dinner, I was back to homework and now I'm ready for bed!

1. Congratulations on earning satisfying school scores. 2. Congratulations on being able to go alone for a haircut in a foreign-speaking salon. 3. We, too, prefer to avoid made-in-China products. 4. Nice photos. Ruth & Mike. (P.S.: It's nice to read about home-oriented things: housekeeping, homework & cooking).
