Kickin' it in Korea

Hey there,
So, I decided to start blogging. Mostly because my mom wants me to, even though I know she will read it for about 2 or 3 weeks and then not read it anymore. Haha, sorry mom, but you know its true.
Anyway, I also feel like I need something else to do in my spare time since I haven't been able to find a ceramic studio so far, and painting is kind of out of the question as I don't have enough room in my house, nor do I have ventilation that would make it safe.
Soooooo.....to fill some time and not waste it by watching K-dramas, blogging it is.
Now, since that rather strange and random introduction is over...what should I talk about?
I don't really want to go over the first 3 months of my life here...that's all done and past, and I don't want to have to try to remember the interesting bits about it. I will just say that I definitely have mixed feelings about the first three weeks of Orientation in Jochiwon. And, considering the face that the provincial orientation in Jeonju felt like a breath of fresh air comparatively, I'd say that my mixed feelings are leaning more towards the negative side of things...but as I say, that's all over and done with, and I definitely wouldn't change a thing. I met a lot of good people in Jochi orientation, and I am grateful to have such a large network of friends in Korea now.
So...hmm...a lot of people will be entering into these posts, so maybe I should give you as "cast list" if you will. I know it can be super confusing keeping names straight as you won't really have faces to go with it. And once we get into Korean names, y'all are gonna be as lost as Easter Eggs.
 So, here you go, these are the actors in the story of my life here in Korea:

 Later, I'll post pics of the people I have pics of, so you can have some faces with these names.
Well, its been fun. This side of the world is sunny right now. Hows it over there?
