dear mom and dad,

the weather has been really alright. those first few days in february were BRUTAL, but now im doing ok.

i miss Silk Soy Milk! i dreamed about it last night, i opened the refrigerator and it was full of cartons of plain silk in the beautiful red box, and lovely rows of brown cartons of the chocolate. i pass by the cereal in the grocery store and have aching longings i never thought possible. if i cant have silk, i cant have cereal... there's just no way. *sigh*

i dont understand what's with all the dairy here in korea? aren't most people of color lactose intolerant? why is there only whole milk everywhere?! and FULL FAT yogurt, thick and weird tasting! (well no, it's not weird, it's just that i havent had whole yogurt in so long that the full stuff is too weird for me), lots of yogurt drinks here too... where is all the soy?! :(

work is going great. before introducing each topic, we do a "preview" and pretty much just have a discussion of what we're about to study. the discussion gets longer and longer everyday, which i love, b/c the kids try so hard to speak english. they start to do "konglish" speaking english and then throwing in akorean word here and there, and the other classmates will help by yelling out the word in english. it's super cute. ok, class is in about an hour, i have to prep. ~sha.
