Frozen Tundra

Today was a cold, snowy day.

I woke up to the snow flurrying down in a crazy array of cold. It was not the best walk to school ever. And I just read that "The accumulation in Seoul broke a one-day record of 25.6 cm (10 inches) and is expected to grow, said weather officials, who have been keeping records for about 70 years." (Reuters)

Awesome. I'm such a lucky girl.

(P.S. I know ten inches isn't that crazy to my peeps back home, nor it is actually that crazy to me, but its different when you're in Korea. Trust me).

Anyways, what made it even better was that today was the beginning of Winter Vacation, which also happens to be the first day of English Winter Camp. I don't know how Koreans got so confused. Vacation and school camp should not start, or actually ever be on, the same day. Alas, this is how it works.

Today as a little ice breaker game we played Two Truths and a Lie (i love this game. we played it all summer. or at least one night).

My two truths and a lie:
1. One time my hair caught on fire
2. I met George Bush
3. I have six brothers

Which one is the lie?

This was one of my students:


If I could give grades, I'd give him an A. Because this is exactly the same kind of thing I would/did do all during school. Well done, Park Ji Hun. Well done.

Another confession

(this isn't about the same subject matter as before) A lot of the time when I meet people I feel like I know them from somewhere. A good percentage of the time I realize the only way I know them is that they resemble one of the characters on the classic board game Guess Who? Does this happen to anyone else?!?!

Recent Obsession Flair-ups

You know how there are some things that you love so much and you experience these things a ton but then after awhile they just seem to fade out? But then some time passes and you almost rediscover these things with new eyes and obsess over them again almost worse than the first time? This has recently happened to me with a few things. They include: Elton John Tater Tots Seinfeld Showering Grape Juice Thats it. PS: (Did you know?!) Thanks to Dare-bear-stare for helping me learn that my own Denver International Airport is the largest airport in the U.S. at 53 square miles! Props to Denver yet again!

Take Home Chef Wannabe

So once upon a time my friend Jeff and I made up our own little tradition. We called it "Friday Picture" and each Friday we would walk around campus and take a picture with the most awkward/awesome/unique looking individual we could find. It was something I looked forward to every week, and we would constantly surprise ourselves with the kind of people we'd see walking around BYU. A lot of weridos there. One day we decided to meander through the library to see if there was anyone extra special for our Friday Picture. Boyyy, did we find that special person! World, meet Take Home Chef Lookalike. I saw him and I couldn't believe the similarities. The striking features. The blond, pointy hair. We even found some silverware to make the photo more true to life. ( The real Curtis Stone ) Try to tell me they don't look alike. Just try. I think the best part of the story is that Jeff's girlfriend at the time (now wife) had dated Take Home Chef-a-like. And we di...
