Happy Thanksgiving!

The title pretty much says it all. Today’s the one day I’m allowing myself to be really American. Had a chili dog for lunch, drank a coke and Green Apple -ade (because I couldn’t find lemonade conveniently), and going to TGI Fridays for dinner. It’s about as American as I get here.

So, looking at this year, I think there’s quite a bit to be thankful for. First and foremost, I’m in Korea, my parents allowed me to go to Korea, and I’m loving it here. I’ve made some really great friends, both Korean and European. Our team won the Seoul Championships. My granddad had a successful surgery. Definitely a year to be thankful for.

In slightly less positive news, the team lost its first playoff game 6-7. We lead for all except the last 2 or 3 minutes, but unfortunately in football these things happen. So now the season is over and I have a lot of extra time.

Still single, despite thinking for a little while I might not be. Thankfully, being a foreigner it’s incredibly easy to meet new people, and there’s nothing holding me back from traveling, meeting new people, or anything else.

This weekend, we’re going to go to Namsan and Seoul Tower, followed by Ilsan on Saturday. Sunday no real plans yet, but I’m sure I’ll get something soon enough. One presentation on Monday and then I’m done with school work until final exams. The placement test for Korean language is the 13th of December, so I need to start preparing myself for that. I think I’ll do well enough to get level 2.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Go Cowboys!
