The Rest of My Semester

Whew! Time flies.

After Rachael left, I had two very busy weeks of school left. For some reason, my econ professor gave us 3 homework assignments in that time. I also managed to write a big paper for math (on factorization methods) and do a presentation on it. That was a bit stressful. A week after Rachael left, I had my first final, in math. I also had 2 papers and an econ final. I'm extremely glad that I'm finished. Another semester down, three to go.

Inbetween all of that, I made some sweet purchases at the electronics market and around my university. Walking through the markets for the last time made me sad, because there's really nothing quite like it in the States. I'll miss bartering and getting free things (service). I'll definitely miss the food, though I'd like to mix it up a bit every once in a while. The multitude of shoes for sale and women's clothing in front of Ewha will be greatly missed. Now what am I going to do if I need a pair of shoes fast? Also, the easy and cheap transportion will be missed. Perhaps not the crazy taxi or bus drivers...

As our last dinner in Korea, Simon and I ate samgyeopsal. It was absolutely delicious, and I'll surely be sad when I can't fry big pieces of bacon or marinated kalbi in front of me. We said goodbye to our PEACE buddies and are almost done packing the last things. Tomorrow morning, we're leaving for Belgium. I'm staying for ten days, then heading home for the holidays. I'm really hoping to bring home a wheel of cheese if I can. My suitcase is going to HEAVY!

Until I get home, keep it real.

So, My Sister Visited...

This should be a rather long entry, but I can't remember everything that we did. I wrote everything on a sheet. However, I put it in the box that I sent home by boat. Thus, I will update this entry when I get that box in a month.
