Back to the grindstone...

Back to work again with no foreseeable holidays in my time left here. It's hard to believe it's already been 2 weeks since I got back from Cheju. Time is flying by, which makes me happy. I'm ready to get back to America and chow down on some green beans, Barq's root beer and a bacon cheeseburger, not to mention all the people I haven't seen in a year. ;)

Nothing much exciting has been happening here. Just counting down the days and classes. Had a good weekend and was able to spend time both days with friends. I became part of the praise team at church on Sunday morning. Christine insisted it would be so much fun if I played an Israeli drum for the praise time, plus then I wouldn't be so bored during service. lol

She thought it would be a great way to "praise God with my hands." So after some prodding, and after everyone joined her side, I conceded. During the actual service, Dahea translated everything for me so the service went surprisingly fast. Plus, since she was already talking, we could commentate during the sermon. :P

After lunch and the afternoon service, I went back to Osan with Dong-sung, Young-sun and Young-ah. They had to go to Emart and I went back to my house. Christine called shortly thereafter and brought over a bunch of food that her mom cooked and we had dinner together, watched Mr. Bean on Disney Channel and went to Lotte together.

Eunbae called me while we were there and dropped by with his girlfriend, who was very nice. After we finished shopping, Christine went home and the three of us went to Haru Coffee for some smoothies and some fun conversation. But now it's Monday again and I'm counting down the days for the weekend. :P

Cheers.

I had a great bacon cheeseburger at TGIFridays in Beijing the other day - so good! For some reason I thought you were done teaching and now just relaxing for a few weeks before heading back to the states.

Nope, I'll be teaching right up until my last day here. But I'm planning a trip to Beijing before heading back to the States. :)
