Time is flying!

The week is already half over! Class went well-during one of our breaks I noticed it was snowing! Not just a little bit of snow, but quite a lot. It continued for most of the day too. It was funny because many students were out and taking pictures-it seemed as if they had never seen snow before! (Most coming from Japan or China I'm sure that they have though) I think the first snowfall really brings out the child in all of us-it seems a bit magical and special.

After class, I stopped at the school 'stationary store' and bought a Kyunghee University t-shirt for myself. For whatever reason, Inje University did not have any apparel or other items with the college name on it.

I went to go meet Bohye (this is how she romanizes it, but I feel that "Bohae" looks more like it actually sounds) at the university front gate and we went to a Korean restaurant near campus. I pass it every day, but have never stopped in. They have a simple menu and the price (5,500W) posted on a sign outside and I look at it and think about it, but never went. I thought it would be a good place to try with a friend. It was pretty good--although they seemed to use a lot of ginger-in both of the dishes we ordered; a little bit overpowering and too much for our liking. After lunch, we went to Dunkin Donuts and got coffee too. We talked for a bit and she told me our plans for next week have changed again. From what I understand some relatives are either visiting or we are going to visit them, but it is about an hour away by car. They will pick me up from my residence (and I will give them my luggage to keep since they are also taking me to the airport) after school and we will travel to this other city together.

In the evening after Bohae left, I did some studying and went to get dinner. I got ddeok mandu guk (dumpling and rice cake soup) and kimbap to-go. This time, I was not as successful in transferring my soup from the bag to the bowl and lost a fair amount to the sink.

I chatted with Jungyoon and now I have lots of homework to get to! Aiygo! (Korean expression for "oh my" kind of "ugh")

First big snow in Korea!!! Kyunghee University Campus

Bohae and our lunch!
