Comedy of Errors

Today is one of those days where you feel as though you have recovered from a long and foggy sleep. You might compare it to hangover. Whichever you choose. I'm not to fantastic at this blog thing; it seems as though every other blog I read is soo much better than mine. I just ramble about ridiculous things that don't seem to apply to anyone but me. I'm sure I am not the only one out there. Anyways, today has been strangely productive, but a type of forced productivity. I've made the bed, and cleaned the kitchen, made a pitcher of tea, checked the mail and even gotten in an hour of reading. I am trying to make this more of a habit.

Yesterday felt like an out of body experience at work and I couldn't seem to wait until I got off. I am in the beginning stages of writing my Master's thesis and it is already giving me gray hairs. The stress is really starting to get to me and yesterday I was lucky I didn't dump gravy or pinto beans on a guest. What I think I really need is a quiet, relaxing afternoon with a book and a cup of tea. That would be fantastic. Will I get it? Probably not, since CB is calling my name tonight.

Update on Korean stuff: My language study is going fairly well, but slow. I have written out a list of important vocabulary and am resolved to increase it a bit everyday. Kyounghee is trying to study English alongside me as I work on Korean. That way we can keep each other accountable. I am still terrified every time his parents call that they will ask to speak to me. But sad at the same time because I so desperately want to speak with them. My Korean cooking is far behind my language skills. Nicely put, I suck. Kyounghee does not hide that fact from me. If anything, I married an honest man. Tactful, no but very honest. I am still getting used to cutting up kimchi which burns my hands when I touch it. Tastes great, just don't rub your hands in it. Kyounghee once told me that spicyness is not a flavor, it is actually pain and your tongue's reaction to it. Who knew? That actually makes sense though. I am really getting eager to finish up this crazy Masters nonsense and move  to Korea. Kyounghee needs to finish up school too. Will appreciate any type of prayer regarding that. Turns out it is rather hard to do anything at all as an international student if you don't have a green card...or money. Money is an important but elusive thing.

Update on us: Being married is certainly very fun, Kyounghee and I are learning things from each other and about ourselves. I find I am having to rely more on God to instill patience in me because I've found that I really am not a patient person at all when it comes to husbands. 

Doesn't this just make you wish you ate Korean food on a regular basis? Oh so good.
