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.
