Day number two, but Day number one as wellf

I'm not sure exactly how many "Day 1's" I've had here in Korea. I devote myself to doing the better things with my day often, only to discover that my ability to try and create a new healthy habit is not as great as the ability of Korea to sap any and all time from the day.

So, I am once again going to make it a point to really study Korean. I did my homework tonight, and did way more than was required in the way of answers, so that is definitely a start. Sure it took my two and a half hours, but it was worth it. Let's hope for a good grade on that test tomorrow.

Class today was good. I was attentive and definitely learned a bunch. I am getting much better at reading and writing but the speaking and listening is coming slower. It's a common progression for someone who spends 20 hours a day in class and lots of time doing written homework I think. 

Today was the big "food festival" at the exco in Daegu. Turns out that it wasn't exactly a food festival. It was more like an expo for the major cities of Korea and then for international travel. It was neat, except that everything was really expensive there. I managed to get a sweet shirt, though, for the low, low, price of a complimentary mudpack. It made my face feel really funny though, like it was caked with mud (who knew, right?).

I got to hang out with a couple of teachers (the only native korean speakers who went with us ha ha) and they were really nice. The other international students spent time with us too, but in a coming and going manner. 

On the way back, I read some of my book which has the works of Poe in it. He was really a great writer. I'm really glad for the book exchange in the teacher's dorm. It has some really great books in it, that's for sure. 

After I managed to get back from the exco, I did homework and grabbed dinner. Just an average day for the alien Korean. 

Oh yeah, and I forgot to grab my camera for the exco, so no pictures:(
