back again..

I'm feeling sheepish. =]

I started this blog with the full intent that I would keep it up. Write frequently.. with a new start, i would have new energy.

obviously, that failed. haha so i apologize, but I am BACK and ready to update you all (all five of you!) on my recent adventures.

Many many moons ago, my friends here in Ansan left me.. Jamie.. Audrey.. Meagan, Tommy.. all of them. haha. And although I miss them all terribly and would much rather they be here with me, I'm happy to report that life hasn't sucked completely here in Ansan since. I've gotten to know my other coworkers a little bit better, and I have two new teachers to chill with. One's from LA (yay!) and the other is from Boston..? It's been pretty good.


(Oh! Jenn had left too! I was supposed to meet with her and Grace before she left, but I hadn't been feeling well that day and totally failed them. Sorry Jenn.. but we will meet again in LA. =] )


However, I still can't wait to go home!! TWO MORE MONTHS! I'm super excited. Although it still feels a little far away, I realize that I only have about 8 more weekends here. It's gonna go by in a flash. I was talking to my dad the other day, and he asked me "don't you want to do any more sightseeing in Korea while you have the chance?" and in my impatience to go home, i replied.. "there's nothing left to see. There's nothing to do here.. " but I realize there is.. in fact a lot of stuff I still haven't done here. (hehe.) Lately, I've been having a lot of free time because of cancelled classes.. and instead of going out to venture and sightsee, I've been kind of just lounging about.. wasting my time. I should take advantage of my new found free time.. but i do so hate to go around alone..

Today, I took a bike ride around Ansan lake park and the library.. After picking up a few books to help me pass the time, I took a ride around. I thought I had been to the lake park before, and I'm pretty sure I had, but the lake park I saw today was BEAUTIFUL. It's a lot bigger than I had thought, and it was my first time riding around in the day, and I saw more than I ever had before. I only wish I had my camera because it was such a lovely day.. The weather was wonderful, there was a nice breeze, and it was just.. nice. and peaceful. I sat on a bench and started reading in this beautiful weather, when an elderly couple sat on the bench next to me.. and pulled out their radio. -_- They ruined my peace. After enduring their k-pop for about ten fifteen minutes (yes, even the elderly here listen to kpop), i hopped on my bike as if i were going to leave. i rode about 100 meters away and sat on another bench and continued my reading. (haha i think they saw me too..)


i recently took a short (4 night) trip to Thailand. =] It was muchos fun. Left Sunday morning, arrived Sunday night.. spent monday alone, and Jamie arrived on Tuesday morning. It was pretty chill, did a lot of eating, some sightseeing.. if you want to know more, ask me. =]

I guess that's about it for now. I'm gonna go reread The Witch of Blackbird Pond.
