so its been nearly a month. I cant even remember what i wrote about last. I got out of the shower just now and I'm laying in bed with this thing on my lap. Hmm so I start school tomorrow. I wasnt as so ambitious to take a lot of courses I might have done if I had been able to do it all by myself, some interior or furniture design that I really look forward to taking in the future, painting and drawing and perhaps a chinese character and art history course as my korean improves. But i'm none the less uber excited for a lot of my courses. Tomorrow at one I have glass working, which should start out very basic, probably glass finishing and cutting and that sort, one of my upper classmen brothers or hyungs is a really good glass worker, probably easily blows out hideaway for the most part. anyways he said he would let me know when they are going to be blowing cause they only do it a few times a year due to costs and gas and labor and so forth. he told me that I'll probably end up going to one of the professors home to work on the wood kiln which I'm SUPER happy about, nothing like staying up all night, hawling wood into a 1800 degree kiln. YES. So i'll have wheel throwing, hand building, mixed media and then some randoms like spanish... english writing...reading... and a movie class! to get by I probably should be aiming for As in those classes and probably my art classes as well, e'll see that'll be the day. So I skipped orientation and the first day I met my major (departments and freshman students) I walked in to help clean the studio, and there were like 30 little girl faces looking at me making me feel super akward and there like your the only boy in your incoming class for you major...great. youd think so but totally not. i feel akward, out of place, and it helps but totally doesnt help that i'm older cause there all like obba obba and I'm like uhhh what? but the upperclassmen are like my age so thats really cool cause they're doing a great job of helping me out and just letting me stick around them. Maybe I'll take my camera around and show you what my school is all about. I'll let you know. so its good being back in korea. I hope to go to cambodia again this coming winter, and hopefully in the summer some of my friends will be back to visit me here where I call home now. fantastic. you should come too. anyways things are neat, and changing, but developing. things that are in me, just wanting to be refined, lots of skills that are really to be growing and a lot of just personal things to be shaken off and developed onto as well. it'll be a good and challenging ride. Minnesota was really weird. it was amazing seeing my friends and loving with them and catching back up, but personally it was a really hard time, facing old memories and having to decipher and then having to throw out and move on. I'm not stepping foot into my minnetonka house again...thats crazy to me. we'll see it should be good all together though, but I dont think i'll be home for another two years, what more will have changed in that time, I wont think much but i hope my friends would have grown more, and have more interests and passions and desires and skills and loves and good things in their lives. direction and so forth, how exciting. anyways my sleep schedule has been nice. 7 or 8 hours on the money, in bed around 12 and waking up with a nice warm sun. theres a park with trees and a decent view of hongdae and the neighborhoods from on top of the hill right out my door its nice. id run but its yellow dust season, I think that stuff is making me all clogged up and stuff, gross. but we'll see maybe tomorrow will be nice. I have to meet my department at 4 and I hope we get food together but I hope they dont go drinking. cause then i'll have to say I have to leave and feel all akward and things like that. Its so hard. its not like I dont not drink, but its like i dont go out. it just isnt appetizing and i've got so much more I need to be doing. we'll see i've committed it in myself but I just need to be shaped in that way now. wonderful. and plus with 30 girls, whether they are younger or not its still just room for error so I have to be super careful not to even get close to crossing lines. schword. the quest for better, patience, purity. its a hard road. but I think its uber worth it. keeps me sane, and healthy, and seeking in better places. just reassuring what I'm thinking, its been a fairly smooth with minor turbulence ride for a good bit now. good. so I might end up taking a bunch of language courses. fun. but its weird cause I havent signed up korean language cause i didnt see it... I should probably find that cause i have a lot ot learn. but I could just jump into the fire and learn in the school of hardknocks. okay fine I usually end up learning the hardway anyways so k next semesester i'll do it. courses i'm intimidated by here i come. and student groups, i think the photography club is overrated, I think in a sense it all just turns into drinking clubs, wheres somethign sincere. this is something sincere, my old frisbee hyung called me the other day asking if I wanted to go to jejudo for a tournament in april, I was like I gotta think about it but ended up calling him back 20 minutes later asking when we practice, confirming I can make them, and comitting to this tournament. I'm going to be playing ultimate again!!! and i feel a little nervous like how I get when I'm lined up 7 facing 7 ready to recieve, but whatever this is so fun and it gets me in such good shape I dont care how competitive it gets i'm in. wonderful. hopefully it'll be a grass tournament, so i can lay out nice and long and get those nice grass stains. and I hope to sky some fools hollar and mark some handlers and get some stall counts. yes sir yes sir it should be exciting. that was my life in college, but now that i have a balanced opportunity to play again no way i'm turning it down, and i can wear my light and dark ugly duckling jerseys again, which are sick and everybody wants to trade. i know, we're awesome... for life. word. well I could be wrapping up I dont think theres that much else going on. everything is so new right now, yet its only the same old life.. interesting. kk cool catch ya later.
