First post;

Hey everyone! It's taken me waaaay too long to set this thing up. Mainly because I have been so busy this last week. Has it really only been a week since I landed in Korea? It feels more like a month, to be honest. Everyday we're in Korean language class from 9 am until 1 pm, then we have lectures from 2 pm - 5 pm, and the dining hall closes at 6:30. Starting tomorrow, too, I'm taking taekwondo lessons from 5 pm until 6 pm, and on top of helping a past Fulbright fellow in his linguistics study and trying to get involved in the Korean-English student exchange club, I am going to be..... very busy.

And with that cheery intro..... Welcome to my "Korea" blog! I'll be using this site to talk about my year in Korea; I'm better at blogging than personally emailing everyone, sorry for those of you who love email. I feel a bit self conscious doing this, as a lot of other ETA's are doing blogs, too, and given the amount of English majors we have in the program, mine will definitely be the blog with the worst writing and grammar. For anyone who happens to accidentally google this, consider yourself warned. = )

Anyways, right now I am living in a dorm in Chuncheon, eating too much kimchee and dying of the extreme Korean humidity. But at least I'm experiencing Korean, er, "culture." Stay tuned for later entries that will have real content! Right now I need to finish studying for my quiz tomorrow.
