I'm pretty sure that everyone that reads this blog is aware that I am a big dork. That being said, I shall admit my love of Korean drama. One of the first Korean dramas I ever watched was called Coffee Prince, and it also my favorite drama. I fell in love with it and the lead actor, Gong Yoo. I mean, behold the pretty:
Plus the fact that he's also a good actor and totally charming. Well, the coffee shop where they filmed this gem of a drama is in Seoul, so as part of Jessica's birthday celebration we found it. It was way over priced and slightly disappointing. But I really didn't care - I was in the same room the Gong Yoo had been in! Yeah, I'm that much of a dork. Soon he will realize is love for me and we'll get married. In the meantime, I have to content myself with the pictures we took of Coffee Prince.
This is me being really excited inside the cafe. In front of this wall is where the lovely kissing scene took place.
This is Katelyn and Jessica being really excited outside the cafe. After this we went and ate some yummy Indian food, sang our guts out at noraebang, and went to the book store to buy k-pop CDs. Happy birthday Jess!
Also exciting this weekend, I played basketball with four of my middle school students - all boys. They are adorable. We played 2 on 3, and the boys kept complaining that I was too tall and too strong. But surprisingly they were pretty good and fast. It was a workout!

I do stuff
...sometimes. I haven't blogged in awhile, obviously. I told my friend it was because I am lazy, but also because I feel like I have nothing to say. But then I thought that was sad. I have stuff to say, it's just that sometimes it's hard putting it into written word.
I like art. A couple of weeks ago Katelyn and I went to an exhibit of Marc Chagall. I knew a little bit about him, but going to the exhibit was really interesting. The exhibit was called "Master of Color," and looking at his paintings it's obvious why it was titled that. He uses lots of vibrant paint; reds, greens, purples, yellows. It was pretty to look at. When we were walking around I noticed that some of the Koreans looked at the painting for a lot longer than I did and were discussing them; I'm more of an enjoy the pretty or strange of it and move on. Or if I do interpret them they are usually silly and way off base.
Take this painting for instance. I thought, "Hmmm, this is interesting. She must be full of hot air and is flying away." And then I laughed to myself. But then Katelyn and I talked and we thought, they're having a picnic, that's what the red blanket in the corner is for, and she is really happy about so she is flying away. But he doesn't want to lose her so he's holding onto her. We're probably way off base here. What do you think?
