freeeeeeeeeeeedoooooooooooooom

in case you're wondering... i thought i'd tell you what's on my mind. starting next saturday i have 5 days off. it is the first vacation time i have had in the 11 months i've been here that is longer than 3 continuous days, so naturally i am excited. however, there is one problem. i have no idea what i'm going to do with myself for 5 whole days. and unfortunately most hogwans have their own personal schedule, which means most of my friends (who are hogwan teachers) have different vacation times than me.

my friend stefanie is going with friends susan and katie to thailand. i want to go to thailand and ride an elephant and one of those mopeds in bangkok... (sigh).... but our vacation times don't match... and - anyway - when i prayed about it, i didn't feel like the Lord was giving me the green light. so (alas) the elephant will just have to wait.

it is also worth mentioning that i am probably the palest i have ever been in my entire life. it has been raining for the past month - straight - and i'm starting to look ill again. lol. oh the joys of the monsoon season. there has actually been a lot of flooding especially in the more rural areas of the country, and several towns have had to evacuate to safer places, leaving behind crops that have been destroyed, as well as homes and belongings. i even saw the news over the weekend, showing flooding in the seoul subway stations. yikes!

on that note, dinner is ready and i'm starving! i think tuen-jang-jjigae is on the menu. YAY!
