I basically just did homework and read the book my professor gave me until it was time to go to my seminar. At the seminar, everything went pretty well. I was able to understand the basic concepts behind everything the guys were saying, even though I couldn't understand what they were actually saying.
After the seminar, we all went to lunch (everyone in the lab + Dr. Chang's wife). It was hilariously like my family's meals. We all sat at the table, and basically watched the tv the whole time. All the younger people finished before the older people, and were waiting on them with an air of impatience. It was a fun meal, though, because it just cements, to me, how working relationships in academia can be a lot like family here in Korea.
Lunch came and went, and then it was time for a little baseball. Our baseball time consisted of all the lab guys and Dr. Chang outside on a strip of land littered with trees, and bordered on all sides by buildings with lots of windows. It was pretty much everything I had nightmares/great dreams about when I was little. Don't think the day passed without windows almost being damaged either. Thanks to yours truly, several upon several windows were put in danger with just a bat and ball.
I was tired of living out every shortcoming of my baseball career in a span of an hour so I left for the dorm. However, I couldn't really study, so I decided to try and get some exercise. My exercise of choice? Table Tennis. Luckily, and for no reason at all really, some of the guys from the table tennis club were in the room, and we played for a good four hours.
Since then I've basically just been getting my homework done, got unsweaty, and getting all my stuff straightened out in my room (not).
Even though it's not even 10 yet, I feel like I need to try and catch up on the sleep I don't normally get, so that's what I'm going to do.
For Now,
