American Wish List

I only have about two more weeks of being in Korea! I am muy sad to leave! It's been so great, and there's still so much to do...I am really excited about coming home though and seeing my family and friends!! I got to thinking about what I've missed while being here. The other day I made a list of what I am hard core excited for on my return to the U.S. of A.

1. COOKIE DOUGH!!!
2. carpet
3. food: asta la pasta pesto! TOMATOES, salad, CEREAL!!!!!!!, the brownies I make on Sundays, quesadillas, costa vida, whole wheat bread, cottage cheese, milk, real hamburgers, aggie ice cream.
4. I miss Cereal so much.
5. cell phones with T-9 and being able to call people that I know.
6. grandparents
7. kitchens
8. normal smells
9. hugs and snuggling
10. western accent
11. tall/stocky guys
12. louder people
13. No, really, I miss cereal, a lot.
14. being able to plug stuff in w/out using adapters and converters
15. my alarm clock
16. my fresh loafers
17. hot tubs
18. space, fresh air, stars
19. Mountains.
20. asking people questions in grocery stores.
21. Grocery stores!!!
22. hoodie sweatshirts
23. driving
24. paper towels in bathrooms
25. gooooood music
26. TV
27. granolas.
28 . the Logan Temple.
29. Like really, I can't wait to have cereal again.
30. I also miss trying stuff on in dressing rooms. (it's rare that clothing stores have dressing rooms-and if they do, the workers won't allow you to try things on if they think you will stretch the clothes out!! I kept wondering why they wouldn't let me in...)
31. drinking fountains.
32. seriously, I don't think you appreciate that cereal you are so casually eating every morning for breakfast.

The Award Ceremonies

This is my moment of glory where I won MVP of the International KIMCHI party. Mainly due to excessive amounts of dancing without being under the influence of alcohol. Once again proving that one can be freakish and sober. I would like to issue an apology to Olivier for making us lose the beer competition. However, it was his fault for selecting me as his partner, and I think he did it just so that he could drink more beer. But wait, I was a really good cheer leader, he just didn't drink fast enough. Apology withdrawn. Note: I won a beanie too.

No Wait, This Is The Partyyy

Tis My Rad Professor

My Professor Is Rad

My Professor for Technique of Oriental Brush is super cool, and hilarious. She is always super worried about me, and takes really good care of me. Every class she brings me some sort of Korean food/treat to try, she's given me a cool traditional Korean CD, a really pretty necklace, catalogues from oriental painting shows...there was the stint that she was worried about my skin and brought me sunscreen, the time she was afraid I didn't have a jacket and offered me one...she takes me to lunch, she gets other students to go for lunch with me...wow. I tell you, these Koreans, they got your back.

Been There, Ate Way Too Much

So Chill

It's A Partyyy

What's Not To Love?

I can buy an assortment of ridiculous spandex for under $7.00. Including the black with metallic zebra stripes one that I like to sport. I felt the leopard print with gold sparkles was a little too subtle, but if you wanted something trendy, I would suggest the jean print spandex, although I would not recommend exercising in jean print spandex as it would not give the full effect of exercising in jeans-if you know what I mean. The only thing missing from this situation is: Adrianne Zollinger-Torgerson.

After

Then I got sexy Asian bang haircut!

Before

I grew out of my asymmetrical haircut and looked stupid.

Would you confirm?

I got a package and a note to go to a specific building, where I thought I was to pick up another package or something. After sitting around for a while, they sent me away, and I got this email about it.

Dear, Madison POPE.
Hi, there
I confirmed it for your parcel post.
The day when I received the parcel post is October 28.
And the day when I delivered with you is November 3.
The person who delivered the parcel post guards a certain dormitory where you live in.
According to his words, he tells you to have delivered it on November 3.
Therefore parcel post and the contents of the memo which I received through the guard on November 3 are equal.
And to conclude, The person who delivered memo and the person who delivered a parcel post are the person who is identical.
Please confirm it well once again.

Sincerely,
Min Gyesoon

Maybe it's just me, but I can't, don't, find that is to say that it is that this does for a certain because does make sense, it not.

Drawing Class
