That'll Learn Me!
Well, evidently SoJu packs quite the wollup! I apoligize for the poetic vomitous, but frankly I kind of like those poems. Somewhere in them is the sadness that sits at my core.
Sure, there's a sadness deep inside me, but I think that's probably something I share with all humans. I found it because I'm not scared to scratch the surface to see what's there. I've come here to remake my life, remake myself, and that can be a painful process...to do it right I have to know my medium very, very well.
Perhaps that background human sadness comes from the fact that we are all so fundamentally alone.
If someone were to ask me for one word that symbolizes me, that sums me up, I would say, "Connection".
Okay, enough introspection for now. How about some observations!
This one isn't mine. It belongs to a fellow Canadian ex-pat named Wendy. We've never met, but she's been here longer than me and has a blog of her own. She's made some very perceptive observations that I can't express any better, so I won't try.
Also, 'ne' is 'yes' in Korean, but I always hear 'yeeeeeeeh' as if they're saying 'yeayyyyyyyy' and the voice intonation goes down then uuuuupppppp! It's kindof the equivalent to 'hei' in Japanese that is sharp, whereas the Korean 'yeeeaaaaaaayyy' is long. When you come in a store they might say 'yeeeaaaayyyy' or when you leave, or when you say goodbye on the phone or anything that takes place of other words that you just might not feel like saying. Its somethign you have to hear I suppose. I kindof like it, and then sometimes it bugs me. So guess what, I'm going to be saying it like craziness when I get back home! ha hahaha!

It's 9:00am now. I'm still feeling the effects of the SoJu last night. Still a bit woosy. I ate a light breakfast and will walk into town again for a hearty lunch. Possibly the same thing I had yesterday - that was good!!
Now, I'll work on the booklet for the English Camp.
