Hey, I hope everyone is doing well. To all you east tennesseans, I hope no one was up around virginia tech a few days ago. The shooting is in the news here, because the guy was korean. I would like it if things like this didn't cue the racism, but as I've been explaining to some people around here, it always does.
In other news, last week was the first time I've ever been seriously lost here. (Or really anywhere for that matter, because I can usually ask directions or call someone and tell them where I think I am) neither of these things applied at the far north end of Seoul where I was supposed to be finding another school to help them for the day. Things are fine now though, and all I have to show for it is the biggest blisters on my feet ever.
This weekend, we should be going to EVERLAND, some kind of themepark somwhere is Seoul. I don't know much about it, but we're always up for a trip. And of course in a few weeks, we are going to visit Eunjin in Daegu, a few hours south of here. Some of you remember Eunjin, I'm sure.
Sorry no pictures, we should get the internet in our room tomorrow actually, then shan can do the voodoo picture uploading that I haven't learned yet. See you all later. Greenwell, if you see this, Happy birthday, sorry I'm not there to watch movies with you.

Hey! Good to hear from you again! Stuart, Elizabeth and Tim were over here a few minutes ago. Stuart has a new puppy-a bull mastif. I figure with all the left-overs Stuart can bring home, that dog will soon weigh 200 lbs! You know, Trey and Jennifer were considering going to Va Tech for the graduatre work-but decided to stay at Cookeville. Thank goodness!! Take care! Mimmy
I've been up here during the tragedies (it's hard, what with being at school here and all, to leave). It has been very hard for us. For a while, we couldn't turn on televisions radios, or get on the internet. The news was ALL about VT. Also, there were news crews EVERYWHERE. There were even photographers at our viewing of the convocation (which I felt was in bad taste. I felt violated.). Now we are finally beginning some healing. I went to lots of memorial services last week. Things have been rough, but I want to thank you for your well wishes.
Looks like Korea is so much fun for you! I am very excited for the two of you!
