First Day

My first day was pretty awesome.

I live about 25-30 minutes away from my school, which is a really long way in this town. I have to take a bus to the train station, then a train for about 15 minutes, then I get off that train and transfer onto another for about 10 minutes, then about a 5 minute walk to my school.

I did all of this very smoothly this morning, if I do say so myself...and then came the umbrella.

So, it started raining when we got on the subway, and so we bought a really cheap umbrella, sounds like a good plan right? well, all was going fine, we (my host mom and I) were literally on the front steps of my school when it stopped raining and I started to close the cheap umbrella...at which point I proceeded to slice my finger open on the exposed metal of the now broken in half metal part right above the handle.

YEP.

Two cups of water, a nurse's office, and an extravagantly large bandage and I went to class. Where  no open desks. So I awkwardly sat in the back of the class with a circle of giggling Korean girls around me asking me  all sorts of questions ad every single one of them saying "HI" to me, and then giggling more.

My school apparently loves embarrassing me, because twice, once in front of the entire school and another for the entire class period, I had to introduce myself and answer questions thus revealing how little Korean I actually knew.


Let's see...anything else?

Oh yeah, I'm taking Calculus and Stats(MIND BLOWING) and a dog barked at me for like 30 minutes because i'm not Asian or something.

I think that's it.

I need some sleep.
