manic monday...

and i'm off...

so, alarm went off, i got up shut it off and got back in bed. this is something i rarely do. but i just needed a few more minutes this morning before i began my day.



now what...

finally got up, showered, painted my face, flat ironed my hair, put on my clothes, put on my shoes and ran out the door.



why run...

so today i had to hike again. yes hike! i had a ceramics class on the campus and omg it was almost as intense as the hike on the way to to the cafeteria. lord have mercy. now i must admit that the walks have become a lot less painful and easier to do. but, do i still sweat heavily? oh yea. do i still feel faint? yes!



i have arrived...

so, not only did i make it to the ceramics class but i also arrived on time. in class i made a cup and of course at the beginning and half way through the class the instructor instructed us all to put our names on the bottom of the cups that we made. and me thinking oh, i will get around to it. totally forgot. which means that the hike up that mountain to get to that ceramics class was done for nothing. but perhaps, it will make it back to me before i move to the area that i will actually be living in for the next year.

next stop...
so, once the ceramics class was completed, i then headed back down that mountain and back up another steep flight of stairs. this time heading to another art class, this time around i will be making a fancy fan. it was a lot of fun and of course the instuctor spoke no English. yes. there was a translator. now, you would think with the translator i would be able to put together this fancy fan without any questions and or concerns. yea, right! there were a lot of peices and the directions were so vague. so, you're probably thinking. well, thats right up your alley being an art school graduate and that my fan should have been the best of the class. yea, um not so much. my fan sucks and it looks a mess. i mean it is not so bad but it is also not so great. hadn't i almost went into cardiac arrest with that big climb to get to the previous class, i am almost positive my art work would have by far surpassed the results of the rest of the class. either that or maybe i really do just suck!

i could go for that...
after those two classes, two new friends and i decided to grab lunch. of course as usual i was a little nervous. considering i have not had a lot of good experiences with the food here i wasn't too thrilled on that idea. josie speaks korean so i figured she would point me in the right direction. then i thought back to the time she suggested i try that octupus linguine that made me sick as a dog. when i remembered that i was back to panic mode. now. thank god, the menu had pictures. this time around when josie suggested i get the meal i was able to see what she was referring to. well, today was a really good day. the meal she suggested was amazing. it was of course white rice, kimchi, vegetebles and some type of fried pork with a sweet sauce. now josie did me right this time! total cost of that meal: 2,800 wons = $2.50 in us dollars (about)

so good i did it twice...
so, after that tasty meal we then decided to grab a desert. yes, desert. i was feeling so good about the meal i just had that i figured why not grab a nice cool desert to top that off. so, we get to this cute little lunch/snack parlor and josie does the honors of ordering a desert for us. now, she did so good the last stop i figured she was on a roll. josie explained the deserts to both emma and i and we were a bit confused. the desert that josie suggested i try was a shaved ice treat that came in a cup. in that cup were fresh peices of fruit and red beans. yes red beans. do you mean like the red beans that you cook with rice. like the meal red beans and rice? yes, you got it. and at first i was so super confused with this combination. josie assured me that i would really like it, because she can tell what i would like and wouldn't like by now. so of course i looked at her sideways and said okay it better be good. so we received our treats and sat down. one by one we all tried them out. omg. it was amazing. the red beans were covered in some kind of a sugar and they were on top of the shaved ice and other fruit peices. it was a really good treat. a surprising combination. and it was delicious. the total cost of this treat. 1.500 wons = $1.50 us dollars!!!!

and again...
so, after that amazing lunch we then headed to another set of classes. after classes we had dinner and began sports day.

sports day, you don't say...
so, of course, i was like uh uh now i have to participate in an activity when i already exercise all day with the mountains, the lounges, the hiking, the climbing, the stairs and etc. so, of course i was not thrilled about this idea.

omg...fun...really fun!
so, sports day has begun. and it was so much fun. sports are really recognized here in s korea. and today was sports day. now we did not celebrate the entire day but we did host a huge festive day geared towards several sports. including:dodgeball and two other events that i just cant seem to think of because i am so super tired.

did i...
yes, i did. i really got into the sports. i ran across the field dodging balls. i played frisbie horribly and clumslesly (if that is a word). i cheered and boo'ed our team. i called some people winners and the ones that really sucked losers. and over all i had a blast. and i would have never thought that i would have enjoyed running around that field. getting sweaty and being in the dirt was so much fun. i let down my hair. let out my gut (wasn't thinking about sucking it in) and i let it rip. and it felt good. now, did i feel like i was going to have a heartattack. of course. was i out of breathe. you betcha'. but it was fun.

its a wrap...
now, this blog is probably much more uninteresting than previous blogs. but i am so super tired and can barely keep my eyes open. i have go to get some shut eye. until next time...

smooches...
