Tuesday means Min Kyung!

We had a quiz to start class. Then we continued working on giving directions and started the next chapter. After class, I met with my teacher to have our little chat. I found out the average from my midterms was a 77%. It was a little shocking to me, as I have never really been a "C" student! But it is to be expected since the material is more difficult for me and I knew the scores of all the tests. My teacher told me that it wasn't a very bad score and since I'm not returning for the winter semester, it is not a problem (even if I were, I would not want to move to level 3, rather I would be content to retake level 2...).

In the late afternoon, I went to Insadong to buy some gifts. I think I have finished all of my shopping now. It felt like a shopping spree! After the sun went down it got really, really cold! I met Min Kyung around 6:30 and we went to her eye doctor's for a quick appointment. Then we went in search of a restaurant I had found. I wanted to eat bibimbap (rice and vegetables with a spicy paste). It's funny because Min Kyung said she would prefer to eat pizza and pasta and she doesn't think bibimbap is delicious! (She ordered something else...) After dinner, we went to Tom n' Tom's for Honey Butter Toast and coffee. I practiced speaking Korean--in some ways it's easier for me to speak Korean when I have a native speaker fluent in both languages, and sometimes it's actually more difficult. How can it be more difficult? Well, instead of me actually having to think of the word, or how to explain it, I can just say it in English and the speaker will understand exactly my intent. I don't have to try as hard. Maybe difficult isn't the right word... Anyway, as always, I love my conversations with Min Kyung. I feel so lucky to have her as a friend.

Min Kyung and our feast!

Bibimbap!!

Honey Butter Toast from Tom n' Toms--one of my favorite things!
