DiMitri again.

So, it's December and I'm hitting that W-curve hard. This will be my first Christmas away from home, and sometimes it doesn't feel like a big deal...other times I wonder why I decided to come on the program in the first place. BUT it's all a part of the experience...and growing up, because this is the first of many Christmases that I will be away from home.

The hardest thing I've ever had to do...

Hey everyone,

It's DiMitri again. I hope all is well with you guys. Before I start my post I'd like to give a little update on my life here in Korea: School isn't getting any easier, French is still hard, and Korean classes have gotten significantly more fun in the past month or so. There you go. That's pretty much all that's happened since I last posted...

Thanksgiving in America (sort of)

Before I start writing, let me apologize for the lack of pictures this post is going to have.  Since coming to Korea, both my ipod and my camera have died, and my netbook is well on its way to being next. -_- I will make sure that future posts have lots of photos! 

As all you Americans know, last Thursday was Thanksgiving!  Unfortunately, it was just a normal day for us NSLI-Y students.  However, we were fortunate enough to have the opportunity to eat Thanksgiving dinner at the American army base, Yongsan Garrison, in Seoul, on Friday night.  Because we live so far away, those of us in Iksan got to leave school early on Friday to come to Seoul.  We took the train for the first time, which was fun because the scenery was much more interesting than what we usually see on the bus.
