Oh to live in the country...



Hello all!
I’m back from my refreshing three-day weekend in the countryside of Korea. It was wonderful. The scenery was amazing and my friend Jung Min and I had a lot of fun. We did some sightseeing and spent some time just relaxing. I’ve got a full report on my blog (see link to the right: Overworked and Deliriously Happy) and pictures up on Facebook.

Also, I just wanted to take a moment to mention that today for you (yesterday for me) was the 14th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing. I always take some time on April 19 to think about what happened and say a prayer specifically for the people who were directly affected. Also to thank God for protecting my family and I during that time, since both I and my Mom and sister were on our way to downtown Oklahoma City when the bomb went off. I was loading the bus to go listen to the Philharmonic on a school trip and my Mom was about to go to the post office downtown, which was next door to the Murrah Building. We were blessed, but so many others weren’t, including some friends of our family who lost a sister and an aunt that day.

But, anyway, I suppose I’ll end on a happy note. I have a new crush, though sadly he can’t really speak English…sad day, but it still makes for fun times at Bar Ireland, or Ireland as Jung Min and I call it. Besides, I’m learning Korean. ^_^ And he did tell Jung Min he wanted to learn English because of me…
