dear mom and dad,

hi! last week i had two classes cancelled, and one class where only one student showed up. i did have to stay for the one student, but he is so smart and wonderful that teaching one on one with him for 3 hours was actually pretty ok. the days that classes were cancelled and i got to go home early were wonderful, b/c i have cable tv now! there are a good chunk of english channels, so i can lay on my couch and watch Alien VS Predator for the zillionth time. i love it.

i learned how to say tuna in korean, it's "Chahmchee" i think. i asked the kimbap woman "hanna kimbap, chahmchee kimchee" she looked at me strange and i was a bit embarrassed, but after saying it a couple of times and using lots of gestures to imply mashing two things into one, we got it done. im eating it as i type, it's the most delicious thing ive ever eaten in my life. that is, mom, the most delicious non filipino food ive ever had in my life. i was thinking of elephant ears the other day. ~daughter
