(BC = Brown College)

Okay, so it's my second successful day of college, and after class, I spent over three hours to finish one of my assignments from a class from yesterday. o.O
Actually, I'm not 100% done with it. I just need to type it up and it's good to go...

School's cool. Finally I have something to do, although it's a pain in the ass to wake up so early... but then again, I don't stay up late.

Yesterday was my 285th day in Korea, where I took my flight back to the States. It sucked I had to go early... It feels nostalgic to be back, but it's nothing new. It's still Earth.

Going home soon... this sucks.

In other news, more bad omens today. As I waited for the bus at the bus stop, it never came by. In fact, no cars or any other buses came by. This was a busy street so it was weird... I could only think that some car crash is causing the delay... Anyways, after 10 minutes of standing around, I started walking to a different bus stop, on a different but near street. But then guess what? The traffi resumed. Well, only a few vehicles came by at a time, thought, like only one lane from where the crash is open now.

Anyways, I got to the next bus stop and waited for the bus and got on. Then later, as the bus was crowded, this old grandma tred to run out because the crowded people in there was going to make her miss her stop. So as she stepped out, the bus drove forward a little. So I assumed as her feet landed, the bus movement made her lose her balance. Anyways, she fell and hit the ground hard. I don't know if she went under the bus or whatever, but a few seconds later, she gave a loud cry/moan. Then everyone got out of the bus because the driver was out and he wasn't coming back anytime soon. I got out and went to transfer to the next bus that was coming along.

Being surrounded by others' pain and misery like this, I can't help but think my spirit is reflecting the curses that are trying to get to me, coming from a certain someone...

Nothing special has been happening lately. I went to a museum on Tuesday, but just like I thought, it was a waste of time. Same old thing you see in the other museums...
I saw something interesting though. There was this attire labeled as a "priest robe/clothes" and it looked like old Hmong clothes. Interesting...

Other than that, I've been seeing a lot of attractive females as of late. As well as males. I've been more sociable with people as well.

I had a few omens lately.
Tuesday night, the bus almost hit a car.
Wednesday morning, the bus tapped into another bus, an dented it a bit.
And also on Wednesday, around noon time, there was a motorcycle crash. I didn't see the crash but I saw the guy sitting on the curb holding his leg while people gathered around him.
So yeah, being involved in two events already (I wasn't a part of the motorcycle one), the third one's going to come to me sometime soon.

A lot of interesting things have happened. Met new people, been to new places...
Last Thursday was the first time I saw anyone kissing in public as I was exiting the subway car. It was a cute couple. And I saw another one today on the bus.

Anywyas, my stay here is sucking because I have to go home early, most likely. May 20.
Why? Because no one will freaking volunteer to host me. It's bullshit.
I'm currently asking all my friends to help me out. Mrs. Ho asked a lot of people in the school (sent letters to all students), but had no luck, so I'm looking for people outside of school, like my college friends. Why didn't I think of this sooner..... >_>
I also contacted Saint Paul Rotary for some help but they are a bit slow. =/

On Sunday, on my way home from meeting the faimly over at Kapyeon, I saw an interesting scene on the subway.
There was this lady who was screaming and stuff over her cell phone to what seemed to be her son/husband or whatever. The guy next to her told her to shut up and stuff. A few minutes later, as she still talked on and on and even yelling sometimes, the guy got fed up with it and grabbed her arm and proceeded to throw her out of the subway cart. The doors closed, though, so he slammed her onto the doors instead and walked away to the next cart. The lady was all cussing him out and shit. Some passegners, mainly the girl college students, gasped and stuff and ran away from the scene to a "safer" area a few meters away. >_>

I met up with Min-Hye's family today. Nice family. We went out to this one place called "Herb Island" or something. It was REALLY interesting. I took lots of pictures, but the vibrant colors of the flowers couldn't be captured with my weak-ass digital camera... >___>

When we met up att he station, she was all quiet and stuff. She had a cute hair style. And her voice is like zOMG super cute. But she has a cold, so maybe that's what made it so cute~
I like when she told her dad to buy her this one cute bakcpack and she was saying "hurry and buy it~~~" in Korean. That was damn cute. -.-

Min-Hye's Japanese name is "Ai," which came from Conan, the detective anime series. When her father said she liked Conan, I was thinking "Conan the Barbarian," and was laughing. haha~
Then I asked, "wait, which Conan?" and they cleared it up for me. Of course, I didn't tell them about the barbaran bit.

Life here has been a lot more fun, surprisingly.
I recently move to my newest homestay - my third. I moved last Sunday.
I found it interesting how I wasn't nervous or had that "increased body temperature" feeling at all. I made myself at home as soon as I got here.

I also have been more absorbed into my Korean studies as of late.

I finished reading the book "Tragic Mountains." I HIGHLY recommend it to EVERYONE, especialy the Hmong people.

I started chatting with the hmong woman who is in Japan right now. Haven't heard form her in a few months, but after chatting with her, I learned about what she has done so far in her life and where she is at now. Her life is really impressive. She mentioned about researching about politics and looked for countries with Asian political parties. Through hard research, she found out of a small Hmong rural community, of about 112 Hmong (if I remember right), in the rural part of Argentina. o.O We both wondered how they ended up down there...
She lived with them for 1 month. She talked Hmong to the parents, but the kids had to be spoken Spanish to (which she also knows o.O). She is currently teaching English in Japan. I should try that out sometime, as a break from college or something. Don't know...

Oh, and mimi left for me what seemed to be a suicide note...
It would be such a shame for her to leave so early.....

Dam... haven't been here is so long.

Anyways, not much "special" things have been happening, although I have strengthen some relationships with some people. :D

Last Tuesday was my first "scared" experience. It wasn't one of being lost, like most people are afraid of. It was more of a "omg wtf should I do?" kind of scared.

I've been more talkative with my taekwondo classmates, especially the girls. We have fun chatting, because they don't know English very well. heh...
And my TKD teacher always come up to me and say "Excuse me, may I help you?" with his heavy Korean accent and it's damn hilarious. Sometimes when I'm talking to one of my friends, who doesn't know English very well, my teacher would come up to us and see that my friend doesn't understand my English, so he would smack my friend on the head and repeat that line "Excuse me, may I help you?" over and over again while he continously hit them. XD

School has been easy.

I may move to my next homestay within two weeks or so.

I actually have 2 possible volunteer families, BUT their problem with me (both of them) is the same I had with my current homestay family. They only have daughters and are scared I might rape them or soomething. >_>
At least Jin-Aeng was cool with having me live with her. Luckily I met her before back in Minnesota so she had an idea of me before inviting me to live with her all-girl family (and father). 8D

I started school for about a week now. It's interesting. I finally started to talk with my new classmates, the boys. The girls still avoid me, which is normal in a Korean school system. At least five of the girls made effots to talk to me. :D
There's also a lot of cute girls in my class, and a few pretty ones. There are a lot of attractiv freshmen as well... >_>

WoW rants:
I've been pretty pissed of as of late. Not only did priests get nerfed but I can't even stand a chance of mobs anymore because the area that I am in have mobs that are all pretty much anti-priest. I died countless times, like earlier I kept dying in a cave. A CAVE. That's right - a dead end area. It sucked so much.
