Lately

I just read that my last post was from a week ago Sunday. I have been trying to hit the books lately. I have finally moved on past the 1A book of the Sogang series. I still am having a little trouble with the formal polite style{(스) ㅂ 니다} that is used for news reporting and speeches and other formal situations. I really should practice on this a few more days before moving on to 1B, but I have been stuck on that last chapter of 1A for two weeks now and if I don't move on I am going to be stuck for awhile.

I have been trying to go biking a bit more too. I am trying to lose a little extra weight that I have put on. Saturday's weather was unbelievable great and everyone else in Dongtan must have thought so too. I nearly ran over a bunch of children trying to make my way through Central Park.

Sunday, Jaeyoun and I made our way to Seoul to pick up some Kimchi from her sister.(Welcome to my world...hahaha) We did make a stop at Burger King and Kyobo Book Store on the way back. My backpack was filled with bags of Kimchi and I kept wondering if at any minute was my bag going to give way and spread 100lbs of Kimchi all over the bookstore floor. Surly this happened before.

My brother and his new wife should be returning back to Mississippi after a week in Rome. I guess somebody had to take the Pope's place while he was in the States.

I have also been trying to work on some logistics for my parents visit this July. They are coming in a couple days before my vacation starts. We will have to work on flight plans soon. Jaeyoun and I are both excited about them coming and we will be heading down to Jeju for a couple of days to stay with her parents during my parents visit. This should not only be very interesting, but very entertaining to say the least. I think both of our parents will be fine and I am sure there will be some cultural misunderstandings, but it will sure be interesting.

Have you watched the Jason Beghe videos? Jason got out of the grips of Scientology about 1 year ago and has just completed a series of interviews with Mark Bunker. Very Interesting Stuff. If you follow these kind of things, you will recognize Mark Bunker or as he has been tagged by Anonymous, Wise Beard Man."His words are wise, his face beard" I have been reading about Anonymous's protest of Scientology for a couple of months now and the videos on you tube are great. You can search for any of the above words and find what I am talking about!
