LADY LUCK: A great time with Neesa, we looked all over for an E-sue-rok restaurant (a chain of Korean food restaraunt) but for once they were not to be found. You see them all over the place but for they were obviously hiding from us, however we stopped at this place expecting Korean food but turned out to be Japanese sushi restaraunt… it wasn’t half bad, I had this shrimp on a roll of rice… but I was craving mondew like none other. After a trip through dog alley, we ended up at a Lotteria and had a great time sharing life stories for almost 3 hours! Should you receive the honor of getting to know this lady then truly you are in for a treat. Something is always happening with her, hang around her long enough and you might end up with anything from a free cab ride, getting witnessed to in Korean by local Jehovah’s Witnesses (already happened to me) or being upgraded to first class on a flight (I pray every day for this to happen).
HAVE YOU EVER HAD A DAY LIKE THIS: It seems the more I learn about Korea and its culture the more it confuses me, yeah my world is upside down… Roger and I saw this map in Seoul, it totally reflects the world from a different perspective that just throws you for a loop. We stared at this map for probably a good couple of minutes just in total awe… yes, Roger and I easily amazed.
…so where in the world IS Carmen Sandiego?
THESE GUYS ROCK!: On Friday I was heading over to the train station to see the students off when I saw a unit of R.O.K (Republic Of Korea) soldiers. Its weird to see these guys in Daejon because almost all are posted up in Seoul or along the DMZ. I was taking this pic and these two officers started walking towards me, and I was afraid they were going to confiscate my camera (comeon guys if you wanted to do this secretly, don’t take all these guys dressed in fatigues to a public place) but they only were going to the bathroom *phew*.
There was little or no fear of North Korea invading the hallway on this day.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY: I was not able to celebrate my sister’s birthday with her. I haven’t been able to be with her on my bday (Feb 18th) in a couple years… sorry Lindz, Lord willing, next year I’ll throw you a nice shindig. Miss you lots! (Git ‘er done!)

About the cooking and cleaning. I basically do everything..buying groceries, cleaning, cooking. And at times, I resent that, b/c I feel like a lot of the cleaning I do is cleaning up after him and I think we should both be responsible for cleaning up after ourselves (ex: dirty plates and glasses on the coffee table..socks in the floor, etc.). I have gone on a strike before. Anyway, now that I am going to grad school and taking 12 hours and also working two days, I really need his help. I simply can’t do as much as I could. It’s a hard balance, b/c I know realistically that if I dont do it, it won’t get done…and that is when the resentment sets in. And I know this to be true, b/c of what happened during my strike…that is…nothing happened.

I was in the Learning Support Services office here at TFC today (where Becky J. works) and was commenting on the fact that it was decorated by Aaron Prosser, didn’t she think it was time for her to decorate it? I told her to flip the world map upside-down, in memory of your xanga entry
