Alllll by Myseeelllllffff. Celine knew what she was talking about.

Okay, so I'm obviously here in Korea, still experiencing Week 1. So far, everyone has been ultra-kind and friendly and shiz, which is awesome. But, honestly, its a bit lonely without anyone to speak fast English too on a daily basis or someone who is as foreign here as I am. I have met one guy at the Immigration office, LH, who was very cool and I immediately decided he would be my friend whether he wanted to or not. =) LH is from Middle America, one of those states you tend to forget exist unless you meet someone from them, and is small and of another persuasion if you catch my point. We've been exchanging emails throughout the school day and I think we're gonna be real friends at some point in the next year, which is awesome. Since he's only been here a month longer then me, we've still got to work out the bus stuff (Lord help me, but I will be reduced to taking the Suicide Express aka the Korean Public Transpo system).
I have made up in my mind to enjoy this experience even with the culture shock because, ultimately, I WILL be here for a year so I am going to make this a kick ass one. I know that I will likely make a fool out of myself ordering food, grocery shopping, etc. but thats a necessary evil in figuring out a new country and culture. Bring. It. On. I promised myself by the second week here, I would have gone to the grocery store by myself and also ordered take out by myself too. I'm ready to conquer Korea. LOL. I just hope its ready for me.
Okay, so I made the mistake of posting on the message board of a facebook group, asking if anyone was in Suwon, the area I'm in, and this guy emails me like 2 minutes later. He seemed cool, but then I find out that he wont even BE in Korea until January and then he's going to be like four hours away. I wanted to ask him what was the purpose of his email, but I didnt. I answered his questions and he KEEPS emailing me. And he's one of the obnoxious emailers...every email starts out with "WOW! COOL! AMAZING! YOU'RE KIDDING!" I'm trying to find the heart to tell him that all caps denotes over-enthusiasm, whick denotes "irritating", or atleast in my book. Sigh.
Okay, so I wont be able to blog over the weekend, as I'm not connected to the Internet in my apt, but Monday I'll def be spilling about my, likely, boring weekend. Love all!

Love forever Jay, Ni, Ju, Jor...
