Halfway through the week

Today class was not as bad as yesterday. We had our 1st teacher for the whole time because our other teacher is sick. She will be out of class tomorrow too.

After class, I came back and did another load of laundry. I was also able to talk with Emily and Jenny in a group chat. It was great to catch up with them. The three of us spent a lot of time together last year--it is hard to imagine life without them and it is hard to not be the three of us together anymore!

Emily had to leave, but since Jenny is on Seattle time, she is 3 hours behind--I have found that it is actually easier to chat with Jenny being halfway around the world than when she was 3 hours behind me when I was in the US. Anyway, Jenny and I chatted some more and she helped me some with my Korean. I also found a new website to get some Korean lessons for free. It is really helpful and I've already moved through 6 lessons. I wish I had had more time to get through more of them.

I went to the kimbap shop Brian and I went to a few weeks ago. I ordered bulgogi. I had to say, Koreans have perfected the art of take-out/delivery. I have not personally ordered anything delivery, but they move so quickly and it looks very efficient. Not to mention the fact that Korean streets are the biggest mystery to me--so how they even find the places they are going to amazes me. (I thank the smart men who set up the Northwest Ordinance--got to love our gridded townships!!!)

I stopped at the grocery store to get a few things before heading back to my room. I did more studying and now I'm ready for bed. I'm looking forward to meeting my new friend tomorrow! And having a Korean-American Thanksgiving with some American and Korean friends!
