It's been more than a week since my last post! Life here's been...well kind of prosaic, to use an SAT word. I've been taking hagwon classes so far, and it's been okay, except for the tiresome traveling by subway every morning. Most of the people are a few grades older than me, but that's okay. It's been way better than I expected. I've even found a mutual friend of someone I used to know. I've seen close to ten friends/acquaintances so far, but I'm hoping to see much more. Everyone's exactly the same, and I'm guessing that they don't think that I've changed dramatically, either. A few of my friends have either drifted apart or are mad at each other, but I'm still so glad about how excited (jovial) everyone's been about me being here!

We're staying at my cousins' house here in Seoul, and although it's uncomfortable, it's miles better than the random apartment that we were primarily planning to stay at. The amount I'm walking each day is incomparable to what I was doing in Arizona, but I'm not getting any fitter (that's the word I'm using to replace 'skinnier'). I'm probably going to seoul club on thursday, so I'll see even more people, and more people will see me. Ugh... I have so much homework and vocabulary to go through, it's insane. I wish I could keep up with blogging, but my endless procrastination is virtually uncontrollable.

Tomorrow's not only the last day here at home, but it's also my little sister's dance recital! I'm really excited to see it because the girls there are really really good, including her. There's just one main thing that's bugging me about this. So there's three different times and performances tomorrow: one in the morning, afternoon, and evening, and my grandpa's telling me to go to all three of them. It's definitely not that I don't want to go to them, but I'll have to stay there for hours and hours and hours... I understand that he wants to support her the entire time, but he's kinda on my nerves sometimes. Since yesterday noon I've spent almost all my time at my cousins' house. I regret doing that. I've been swimming a little bit, but that was while I was being dragged and pushed around by my little cousins. I should have stayed at home and relaxed, spending my time well. Not only that, I think I tend to overeat whenever I go to their house. I ate SO MUCH while I was there. Obviously, my plan to be fitter and healthier (and skinnier) is not going the way I planned. I did get to tan a little, but that's about it. As for my hair, I think I'll just curl it whenever I need it like that. Hopefully, I may be able to get a perm or something in Korea.
