Why so popular?

Mmmm....the verdict is Mamma Mia is not what all the hype's about.

This actress reminded
me of Katie.

Maybe the similar personality,
blonde wavy hair,
and amazing voice.
So then as I watched this
ridiculously long movie
I thought of you lovely Gators!
Where my Monday Night Ladies at?

My friend, Suran from Busan is visiting me on Saturday and I can't wait! I haven't seen her since April. She is staying with me overnight before she leaves for Florida again to learn more collegiate level English. And I get to see Lucy again, too! Both of whom were in my class at UF's language institute.

There are fireworks in Seoul at night...so we might try to make it. But I heard that people start setting up their piece of grass at 2pm. They don't start till 7:30pm.

On the surface I seem fairly adaptable to Korea. At the same time it's only month 2 of my foreign living. I bet I am okay because I can blend in as a native and remain undercover if need be. I picked up a copy of a book to learn Korean. I think I got too engrossed in the details of the language but it was quite fun. I took advantage of an online translator website and it helped me practice typing in Korean. The consonants are on the left hand and the vowels are on the right.

Example of one minor change from living in Korea happened Friday night. I was outside of a restaurant and was reading "Titan." It was mentally read as "tee-tahn." And my brain triggered something that said, "try again." So 1.8453 seconds later my brain was like, "No, duh, it's Titan. You know English words!" Ha...layman explanation: Korean is written with consonant and vowel combinations clumped by syllable division. So as I read Titan I split it CV/CVC. And so my mental voice was off. I took the experience as a good progression towards learning Korean.

I miss my summer days of more solitude and reading.
