haha! Finally googlevideo posted my video submission. Hehe....

Here it is...

Enjoy!

Wireless is splendid. I'm waiting at Bradley Airport in Hartford and checking my email for free. It's amazing how quickly technology is developing. A couple years ago this would have been a foreign concept for me. What's going to be next? What will I be taking for granted in the next couples years that would amaze me now?

I've escaped from my life of drudgery and I'm out in the open. Yes, sailing away with gleeeeeee, babeeeee! How's that for alliteration. Oh-jah! Unfortunately, I've had to sail away with some homework still to complete but I'll get it done in the next couple days.

ONE DAY AWAY!! And I can't make myself work. This is getting bad.

Yeah, and I'm wondering what's it all about. Will I ever break out of the chains that bind me? ...my self doubt.

Enough melodramatic proclamations as I listen to cheesy Backstreet Boys music....and the reason I'm listening-you ask. This SOO funny video made by these Chinese students. Man, this brings me to tears. These guys have a future in acting. Can't you see them in Kung Fu Hustle? (which is a really good movie by the way)

Note: Talking about this stuff somehow reminds me of when I was happy and I wasn't trapped in this dungeon of a school. Oh no, I'm being melodramatic again.

Well, so finding this video on Allen's blog also caused me to discover the whole world of googlevideo. Amazing! You can upload your videos for the world to see for free. So finally I can upload some of my videos to my blog. So Ro and Pohang girls I'm sorry but yes, you're going to be stars. :-) hehe

Coming soon....
"Taekwondo Adventures"

yes, cheesy but true......

3 more days, baby!!!! Oh the ecstasy! hehe

If only I could close my eyes and then suddenly be on the plane. But alas I have to keep my eyes open, so I won't trip over an icicle and land face first in the snow. (otherwise you know, I'd maybe try keeping my eyes closed for the next 3 days)

Hardy-har-har-har-har..har, har!!

In other news, it's shaping up to be a busy Christmas break. But thank God, I think it's long enough that I'll still have time to reflect, read and send out resumes.

It's looking like I'm going to be in Portland from the 5th-ish to the 11th-ish of January for my friend, Crystal's wedding. (Congrats, babe!) I'm still waiting on my sis to firm up the dates. She's hopefully going to come with me, so we can also work on some important family stuff while we're up there.

Then I'm going to be in LA sometime between the 19th of December and Jan. 5th. That's still in the works. I think I may go up a couple days before I leave for Portland. Here I am day dreaming about my vacation while I should be working on my paper.

hmmmm... bah-humbug!

oh, whoopsie...I'm going to do that tag thing soon, marg...

I'm on the homestretch, baby!! Oh yeah! Uh-huh! Oh yeah!

Four more days and then I'm taking offffffffffffffffff in a blaze of glory!!!! I'm almost over the giant stress mountain-one more paper and one more presentation. OHHHH yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I need to get away and reflect on my whole experience here thus far.

And it looks like someone put my blog address on Handong's i2 boards (the university I used to teach at) So "hi" wonderful Handong students!!!!!!!! I miss you!

If you emailed me in the past and I didn't email you back it might be because "hanmail" sometimes doesn't receive "yahoo" emails.

me in my new winter coat (I'm not talking about my jacket but the 5 new pounds I've gained....keeping me warm...)

and 7 more days and counting! Oh yeah!!!!!! And 7 days of Christmas and my true love gave to me....

9 more days! let me count the ways...

on a different note, it's snowed like crazy here. Everything looks like it's covered with white frosting....pictures are coming soon.

11 more days! Yee-ha!

two more classes and one more week....

two more papers and two presentations....

I hate to be a party pooper but I CAN'T WAIT until I'm out of here. I now have one week left after my class this Friday. Happy day! yeah, yeah! And as of this moment I have exactly 12 days until my plane is taking off.

I'm leaving on a jet plane!!! Can't wait till I'm out of here! la, la! Everybody sing along!

This is my new motto till I'm outta here:

Read this comic first. For some reason blogger won't let me change the order of my entries right now.

One more week after this one!!! YES! oh yes!! Yeah, yeah!

I've got two more weeks after this week.

I can see the light. I need to get out and clear my head. But the two and half weeks before me seem daunting. I'm dragging my feet. I'm constantly carrying the pressure of what I have left to do but I feel unmotivated to start it.

And right now I'm not doing too well emotionally, so that's not helping my homework motivation.

Do you know who put forth these "7 social sins"?
1. Politics without Principle
2. Wealth without Work
3. Commerce without Morality
4. Pleasure without Conscience
5. Education without Character
6. Science without Humanity
7. Worship without Sacrifice.

Melodie was so kind to share her Thanksgiving and her Greek salad with me.

the best ever gingerbread chai!!

yummmmm

the closer we drove to Vermont the snowier it got...
