somehow...

even when i have literally 8 hours to do it, i manage to get NOTHING done. that is what happened today... i could have planned weeks of lessons. but instead i did nothing at all. i'm a procrastinator... it's just who i am. it works for me.
so, with 15 minutes before i leave school... here is a bullet point list of things i should tell you about:

• sport day at school. it is the reason i had 8 hours of nothing today.
• chuseok.
• climbing hallasan.
• how good i'm getting at using chopsticks.
• decorating my apartment!
• the people i encounter...
• running. on hills.
• something that hasn't happened yet but will happen in the very near future. i'll tell you about this one FOR SURE when it happens.
  

there's more i'm sure... things here have become just everyday life, so it's easy to forget that i should tell someone about them. sorry. but in the next few weeks i'm hoping to go on some adventures that will come with stories and pictures...

but until then, i'll just tell you this: God is so good. He is teaching me so much! i can't wait to see what else He has in store for me.

and i will leave you with this gem from my mom that i just thought about today:
before i left we were looking at my contract. part of the contract is that you get 90 days of maternity leave if you get pregnant while you're here with epik.

my mom's response to this (accompanied by an eager smile): "wouldn't it be funny if you got pregnant while you were in korea?"

no, mom. that would not be funny. who says that?
i love her :)

oh and also my dad and uncle are headed to uganda tomorrow! please keep them (and musana overall) in your prayers! i'm so excited to hear about their time there!!!
