Already April

April showers bring may flowers, or at least that's what they say. However, there are very few places I can imagine flowers popping up in Seoul.

Most people are cursing the gloomy weather, saying things like, "this is why I left London." However I find myself reminding me of home, Oregon that is. Every once in a while when I am riding a bus, If I try to not focus on all the Korean writing all around me and the obvious nature of the fact that I am indeed in Korea, I can, if only ten seconds or so, get the feeling of what it's like to be in Oregon on one of its ubiquitous rainy days on my way up into Portland. Enough Nostalgia.

My first midterm tomorrow, and it will be a challenge. Level 5 is a lot more challenging than I had given it credit for. The jump from 4 to 5 is quite big. I find myself learning terms and grammar that I was also touching upon in Japanese in the higher levels at Yale. This is definitely a good thing, but we'll see what the number at the top of my corrected test has to say. My transcript up until now looks pretty good, As and Bs, this term may even see some Cs sneaking in. We'll see.

I sent off my application for going to China next year. I we'll back from them soon I suppose. I get a lot of mixed responses about China. Good and bad, and plenty indifferent. Hopefully, I will have something insightful to write about this coming week. Annyeong!
