an nyong ha se yo(hello) all,

Today was the first day of classes.  My first class wasn't until eleven so at ten I wandered around campus finding things. My first class is awesome. My teacher is Indian, as in from India, she is great. She makes class really fun. My second class has like no one in it though and the teacher doesn't speak english very well so its hard to follow along. I think I might switch into the lit class because I love reading anyway. I found a friend with a cord that fits my camera so I can just borrow hers, Yay!! I have a few pictures from the last couple days but not many. We made a traditional Korean food today called bibimbap, I think. It was good. There was tons of sesame oil in it. I think that is like olive oil for us. Then I went to this place called E-Mart. It's kinda like a Walmart and Costco and mall all mix in one. It was way cool. I got some fruit and hand soap and a hand towel there. It was way fun and I got to know a few more people better. I am so glad because I am starting not to feel so alone.  There are so many types of cultures here It's amazing. Well, here are some pictures....
