I haven't posted for a while, so I figured I should!

We're about a month into the fall semester here already. I can't believe it's almost October! We've been staying busy and having fun! Zack is still enjoying his position as Legal Writing Fellow and helping the students with their English (oral and written).

We're hoping to stay on here for one more year, since the economy back home is still so terrible, we figure why not stay here since he already has a job! We're still waiting to hear back, but we're almost positive we'll stay.

This semester I'm able to lead an English discussion group to about 7 undergrad students here on campus. I just meet with them twice a week for one hour each session and I bring a topic and try to get them to speak, so they will feel more comfortable speaking English. It's fun and a nice break for me. Zack and I have started meeting with a Korean tutor this semester, and he teaches us for 2 hours each week. So far we've become more comfortable with ordering food in a traditional Korean restaurant, so last night we went out and put our practice to the test. Turns out our server spoke English! So, we didn't need to speak Korean, but we practiced it anyway! It's such a small thing, but by being able to go out to a restaurant on our own is so freeing. We've always gone out with other people who know what to order, or how to speak Korean, so we never went by ourselves. But now it feels more like home in a way, because we can do normal, everyday activities without having to rely on someone else to get things done for us.

Hangul is the alphabet of the Korean language, and this is what the word "hangul" looks like in Korean.

Last weekend the law school had an activities day for all the students, law faculty and family, so here are a few pictures from that day. We basically just competed in silly games against each other for a few hours outside on a nice Saturday morning.
