I'm up late once again. Joanne and I were hanging out watching Korean dramas. It's funny-we both get into them. Like, "Oh no! How could he do that!" as we reactively discuss the plot twists. Of course, she translates cuz I can only understand simple phrases but some how it works out that I understand without her translating like crazy. The wind is really rushing around the trees outside, it sounds beautiful. It was a stormy day today. Yet Jessica, Ro and I went out shopping today and I finally got a coat I'm satisfied with. The other cheaper coat I got tore but I'm going to get it fixed. But this new coat is perfect I think. Well, I got back from the faculty retreat a couple days ago. During this retreat all the profs of the university get together. It was good but packed. We were in the Hilton and met from 9am to 10pm for three days. So it was tiring. But it's a good time to get to know people that you don't often see during the semester. Wow, there is this program on about North Korea right now. It is so incredible and sad. There was this reporter with the exclusive chance to do some filming in N. Korea. There are drills often in the capital preparing for an air raid attack by America. He read some of the newspaper and talked to people and they all talked about America attacking them. It's so ironic because they are so afraid of the outside world and at the same time the world is afraid of them. Well, good night.

Hmmm...my blog is being fussy. Let's see how this works...

I just got done talking to my sis. That was nice. We're fantasing about her coming her with the kids to visit sometime. We'll see if that can work out. Well, it's mid-morning and I've got to do the dishes then head out to office to start preparing for my classes. Next week we have a staff retreat than after that life usually takes off with a lot of meetings. And I often feel like, "Can we stop meeting so I can work on my classes?" :-) So I'm going to try to do some work now. Also as I keep on mentioning we are having an orientation meeting for the international student ministry and I hope that will be a really productive time and get started a lot of stuff early this semester. Yesterday my friend and officemate, Sandy, came back from Spain so Ro, her and I went out to "tac galby" which is basically sliced up chicken with some veggies and spicy sause in a big frying pan that everyone eats from. So we talked about a lot of great stuff about travel and her time in Spain. Well, gotta go. Talk later.

I'm still up...but I really should go to sleep...actually, I'm trying to get the right background for this page. But after this try I'll go to sleep. night night

Good night!

So do I look angry on the intro page of my website? I thought the pic was cool cuz it's in a mirror in this fancy hair salon so it kind of plays with your mind.because I'm in the mirror yet you see the background of where I am. But the more I look at it the more I think...uh, I look bummed. Well, hey nothing really too new with me. I'm still on my break and now I'm in my office cleaning and organizing. Pretty soon I'm going to start preparing my lessons. Just a quick note on the political situation in S. Korea. Right now as we all know it a tense time world wide, however, life here is peaceful as normal as far as my experience and everyone I know's experience. Even though things might be heating up as far as N. Korea goes, life is normal and calm here in S. Korea but we are all worried about the world situation. I've got to go to sleep soon but here are some prayer requests. *Pray for the international student ministry I'm apart of, pray for the students that are in the leadership and pray for my leadership *Pray for those that are not Christians in the international student community Well, I've got to go to bed. C ya

Hi, well this is my newest little update idea. We'll see how it works. Right now I'm back in Pohang hanging out with myself getting lots of little things done that I just don't normally have time to do such as work on this website, emailing and researching stuff. So it's cool. And my fav kind of vacation when you just chill in your house by yourself, read books and do little projects. I was in Korea's capital city, Seoul, for most of December and all of January. I was there taking a Korean language class, attempting to get a little of the language under my belt. It was very challengeing but I do think I can speak "some" Korean whereas before I couldn't speak barely any. Well, school starts in the beginning of March and next week I'll begin to prepare for this semester. I'm also going to be preparing for an orientation for the international studnet miinsitry I'm involved with. So you can pray for me about that. Well, I'll write more later.
