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....

Sitting...

I got my internet in my room to work!!! We don't have wireless in the dorms so I bought an ethernet cord for less than $2 bucks in the dorm convenience store!! At first it didn't work but now it does. I think my classes are going to be cool. It is sooooo rainy and humid. My hair is a frizzy mess. Earlier, I walked to orientation and it takes like fives minutes to get there, I was soaked to the skin from the rain. Just the rain. No puddles, just the rain. Crazy. My flight was good. Very long and awkward. I rode in a taxi from the airport to the school. They drive so crazy here!! I swear the taxi driver stayed at the speed of fifty or above no matter where we were. Anyways, I am going to take a nap now. I'll keep you posted.

Oh, the address here for letters and such is:

My Name

Love you all,

First Day in Korea

Hi everyone,

Today is my first morning in Korea. I forgot my cord to my camera so I guess I can't post any pictures. I am way upset about that. My flight was so long. I didn't get into to Korea until about 10:30. I don't what that is in US time but It's late. I miss everyone so much. It is very rainy here. It hasn't stopped raining since I got here. Well, I got to go eat breakfast with my roommate Leslie. She is from Florida and very nice. I love you all,

Breanna

Beach Grandparent Night!

June 27 Me and my grandparents and mom and sister and most of my cousins went to Brookings for a couple of days. We stayed in this really nice house. The decorations were a little weird but other than that it was nice. It was fun hanging with my cousins who I don't get to see very often. It was nice weather most of the time. I had fun. Here are some pictures of the trip....
