Sunshine is wondrous. It really is. I can't tell you how much of a difference it makes in my outlook on a day! The last few days have been quite sunny, and it's supposed to continue for awhile... excellent. I spent time both yesterday and today on the roof, soaking in the rays. The only thing polluting the joy of the springish sunny weather is the wind. Springtime is windy here, and soon there will be dust. Actually, there might be dust already with how Tracy's allergies are acting up.... The weekend... well, not too eventful, but not too boring, either. After Bible Study yesterday, we went to ANOTHER wedding dinner of someone from church (that makes 7- and no ceremonies). Then I came back to the apartment, spent time on the roof, did some shopping with Tracy, dealt with the landlord (he was fixing something and whistling at us again and telling us things 3 times!!), then went to meet Sue for dinner. She's been studying all winter to take a nursing test that would qualify her to work as a nurse in the US, and she passed it this last week! So, we HAD to celebrate ^_^. I guess the US is closing off immigration for awhile starting in September or something, so Sue's in a special hurry to get over there. She plans to leave Korea in the beginning of May. I'm very excited for her, although I wanted her to fly over with me ;). Anyhow, we met her and her friend for dinner, then had ice cream, then did a bit of shopping, then went to Noraebang. Good times. Today was church, and lots more sunshine. After English service, three Korean girls and I hung out for awhile... first to Yofruito (played some Jenga and Rummikub), then I bought a skirt, then we sat at church chatting for awhile. Then they were going to a movie, but I opted out since it's only in Korean ^_^. Back at the apartment, Tracy and Shrek were still studying (he went back to university as an English major and has some crazy homework... like reading Edgar Allen Poe! Tracy and I don't know some of that vocabulary!). After a bit, Ben showed up, and we got some sandwich fixin's and chicken from GS Mart for dinner. Oh, and I beat Ben in speed twice. And we had to stop him from skateboarding in our apartment. And that was the weekend. Future stuff- We're planning to go to the DMZ (demilitarized zone between South and North Korea) April 1st, and hopefully see Pride and Prejudice in Seoul while we're there (it actually came here, Laura! Unbelievable! Now, if it came to Dangjin, that would REALLY be a miracle ^_-). And I just started looking over Lonely Planet: Japan for options for June. It's going to be expensive no matter what we do... I'm excited about it, though. My last month here is gonna fly by! "There's no place like home; there's no place like home (click, click, click)"....
