Busy

Exhausted~!

This program is excellent–but, it’s also very tiring. Today is really the first time that I have had to just sit and relax and chill out. It’s so strange–being on the go all the time, I’ve hardly had any time to digest any of it!

The DMZ visit yesterday was a little bizarre. It was a [...]

Flash My Brain

I went ahead and purchased flash my brain last night and it’s a really great piece of software. I love it. So far I’ve only downloaded some of the sets available online, to evaluate it before I go ahead and start making sets myself. The pic below shows viewing a set–not learning it–so you can [...]

16 Days...

Beautiful Lotus Lantern

I leave for Korea in 16 days! I still haven’t been able to send the money to Lotus Lantern for the TempleStay program–but I hope that they reply to my email with the needed information soon! I guess I could just show up and pay them on the spot–but I’m not sure [...]

신나요!

I’m starting to get very excited right now. I still haven’t heard from the Temple of my choice for the Temple stay, but I do have time even in Korea to work that out, so I’m not worried. Just, butterflies in my stomach every time I think about Korea!

My husband contacted his cousin Jinwoo (진우) [...]

Another new page

The newest page I added contains some more YouTube videos with some simple phrases. One of these days I’ll get around to making all this stuff myself–but for now it’s much easier just to use whatever is out there already. I got all confused today, because my husband asked me “haven’t you eaten breakfast?” Now, [...]

Updates

So far I have only added one page under a new section called Korean language. This contains some basic information about the demographics of the language, as well as the very basics of grammar. I’m currently working on Hangul and pronunciation. I hope to be able to incorporate some of the great video and audio [...]

Everything at once~!

I discovered that I can apply for a research fellowship–as long as I get myself a faculty advisor and research topic (and proposal) ready by the 17th March. @_@ What am I trying to do to myself here? So far, the only topic I have come up with is “Language, identity, and religion—Korean Buddhist Literature [...]

Snow, snow and more snow!

It’s still snowing~! We’re supposed to get another 10″ on top of the remaining 5 or so from the last snow storm (which gave us about a foot). It’s pretty much a white-out right now!! Glad that they canceled my school, that’s for sure!

In other news, I made the Korean Blog List so I’m super [...]

By means of...

I got my Sogang acceptance letter today:

Sogang Acceptance Letter $_$

It’s all pretty exciting.I sent off the documents for the Sogang Scholarship–now I just have to wait. I also have two scholarships to apply for through my university–which I need to get done ASAP. All in all it’s pretty crazy. I’m still working out if [...]

Today I have spent most of the time studying, when not plagued by a bored six year old. I have a quiz in Korean on Wednesday, as well as a test over the US constitution (eegads–the professor assumes everyone took American History and Civics in High School in the US. Erm. No?!!) So, I am [...]
