Class was kind of funny-it seemed like everyone was really dragging. It was so strange to be back in class--we hadn't been there since Wednesday. Our teachers asked us what we did over the weekend and almost everyone's response was "I slept all day Saturday". (Obviously I did not fall into that category!)
After class I came back to my room and did my laundry, homework and chatted with Joe before going out to meet my friend Min Kyung (endearingly called MK for short--I met MK in 2009 from the GOAL trip and have kept in touch with her since then). MK and I met up near City Hall; she works near there but lives in Inchon. We went to a "very Korean restaurant" she ordered "soodaebu" (soondae is actually intestine--and the stuffed with other various ingredients including noodles or kimchi) and I played it safe with "chamchi jjigae" tuna stew--it' was like kimchi stew but also with tuna in it. MK actually loves soondae. We finished dinner and went to a coffee shop she really likes. She payed for our drinks and I got a little carrot cake for us to split (the cake almost cost as much as the 2 drinks!!). We had a nice chat and then walked back to the subway station and parted ways.
1. A good word: "endearingly." 2. It is funny how a change in routine plus a few free days can make being in class seem strange. R.&M.
