I Could Have Taken a Taxi, but That Would Have Been Easy

Instead, I opted to drag over 50 lbs of luggage through humidity and hills on a twenty minute walk to my new dorm. Twice. But I got the job done! Unfortunatley, in my state of being an overly sweaty person, I met my new room mate for the first time! "Hello, I'm the sweaty American!" wow. At any rate, my roomie is named Mi-Su. She is a ceramics graduate student-yes apparently I'm living in the graduate dorms, how very officail of me-she is 27 years old, and no speaky Englishy much, and I no speaka Korea. This is beautiful, it will help me learn Korean! We tried using a Korean to English translator online for a while. About half the time it kept coming up with completley bogus English sentances, so I ended up cracking up instead of communicating. She seemed to understand the translated Korean. Highly suspicious.
