Class went well today. We are almost done with our textbook, but like I mentioned before, we really only have a week left of class before FINALS!!! We did a lot of one on one speaking today-with our classmates, interviewing about our favorite hobby or interest. Tomorrow we have to give a small presentation about our favorite hobby. I chose soccer-the only problem is that I cannot draw, so I'm not sure how to decorate my small poster...
After class, I got a text from Hwa Sun Unni, asking if I was free earlier than we had originally planned on meeting. I agreed and we met in Itaewon, which is kind of the international area; it is quite close to the US military base, so there are a lot of Americans in that area. We had tea and a waffle and chatted. We sat near the window on the 2nd floor and Hwa Sun noticed a large crowd gathering on the street-she looked down and said that there was a famous actor there. There was also a cameraman, so they were doing some kind of filming! I don't have a big sister, so I really enjoy and appreciate the relationship I have with Hwa Sun. She really is like a big sister and again, I have to stress how much she treats me like family. I am so thankful to have them in my life. After we finished our tea, we went to some shops in the area because she needed some things for her family.
We took a taxi back to her apartment. I did some homework while she had a phone call. Then she helped me a little with some of my homework. A little bit later, Jaebin returned home from his friend's house. He also helped me with my homework. He did his journal writing-English assignment and I helped him. For dinner, we went to a Japanese restaurant. Earlier in the day I mentioned how much homework I had, so I think Hwa Sun sent me on my way a little bit earlier than she would have normally because I told her how late I stay up doing homework and she was worried about me. We made plans to meet next week and I got a big hug bye from Jaebin. He kept yelling "byyyyeeee!!" to me as I went down the stairs to the subway.
I just finished packing for my trip to Inje/Busan and now I'm going to dive into homework!
1. Glad to hear that class went well. 2. God bless Hwa Sun and her family. 3. Getting an adequate amount of quality sleep is--for most people--very important to long-term health. Mike read a headline online recently about how getting long-term sleep can help protect a person from getting diabetes, which none of us have or want to have, but which many Americans do have. With love, R&M.
