Im Here!!!

Okay so this is going to be short and sweet cause I have to work tomorrow but.. lets just say my first few days in seoul have been a whirl wind!!!

got to my new apt at 8:30 ish on thursday night.. Jen met me at the airport and i am so glad she did. She speaks Korean so it made my trip much easier. after a 15 hour trip you just dont want to think. So than we automatically went out for food and met my friend victoria who gave me a hair dryer and a blanket to sleep with. My room is super cute and it has a side room that i am using for my closet. So can I say walk in closet!!??

My roomate is great his name is chris and hes been helping me out a lot. Im not used to having someone around who will do things for you. So when i start pushing a wardrobe across my room alone, it kicks in that i can probably ask my 6 foot something roomie to help. haha.

So my first day in korea lasted from 7:30am to 1:30am. I was determined to beat jet lag, and honestly I think I did!! I got up and went to my school. Which is totally another blog cuase this place is amazing! Got there and met two of my co-workers who are from England. One from Burmingham and the other from London. They were great and they were asked to take me to the hospital for my "health check". We spent the day walking around Seoul and having loads of fun. My medical check was unpleasant to say the least but it had to be done. they checked my ears, eyes, teeth, blood and anything else you could think of.after this we went back to the school where i met my korean teacher assitant. Her job is to help me in the classroom. She was decorating my class for me. I will have to probably change some stuff tomorrow cuase shes very "linear" and I am definetly not. So we wil have to mix up the class a bit. Hope shes okay with that since she was probably working all weekend. eeep! So than i went out to dinner with Mike and Luke my new friends. We had some killer Galbi. mmmm korean bbq!!
After dinner i went over to my friends house where we drank sangrea and played rock band. I met a bunch of new people and it was such a great time.

The next day I had to get up reasonably early to go see my frineds old apt and steal some supplies for our apt. It went well and we picked out some stuff. My first saturday in korea was spent watching a movie in my bed. I basically just wanted a night to chill out since I had been going and going since i came. It was nice.

Today Chris and I moved half of the apt into our place. This may sound easy.. well it wasnt. We had to drag furniture, plates,cups, blankets and anything else you could think of up and down the little korean hills of iteawon. I got a good work out to say the least and I know my muscles are going to kill tomorrow. Than my new friend Mike came to see me and he came with me to Emart where I was going to get some stuff for my room. We ended up walking around Seoul having some kimbap, and going to a DVD Bang in meoyong-dong. than we came back he helped me rearrange my room and we played rock band with chris in his room. It was a full day but totaly fun!!!

I am having a great time so far and its only been a couple days. This is such a good thing for me. I am happy and dont feel culture shock at all. I feel so comfortable here its as if i never left. I have found some great new friends already and it looks like things are going to be good. I wil take some pics of our apt once its al purdy.

gunna go to sleep its my 2nd day of school.

love ya all.... having a blast!!
