good eats

My sleeping schedule is still off so my brain is all discombobulated. I fell asleep by like 11 last night , and then woke up at 4am wide awake. Weird little brain. Sooo hopefully I can get that situation figured out pretty soon or else this week could become pretty interesting. Maybe I’ll just become one of those mega early birds that wake up at 4 and to go bed by like 9. Haaa that doesn’t sound like me at all.

So I’ve been hearing some questions about what I’m eating and if I like it. Honestly nothing I’ve had so far is super weird and I’ve liked everything. I haven’t eaten out a whole lot though, or at anyone’s house, so I’m sure I’ll have some run-ins eventually. Last night on the way home I stopped at the corner market by my apartment and picked up a few goods to make dinner. 5,000 won (under $5), 500 calories, and 10 minutes later, I had this:

tofu+green pepper

tofu+green pepper

+rice +red pepper paste

Legit Asian stir fry. Yummmmmy. I also bought some Ramen to eat for lunch today. It’s  always been one of my favorite things (my birthday dinner request until I was like 10), but somehow here it’s even better.

Also they sell Mandarin Oranges evvverywhere for like pennies. Well, I mean wons obviously. It’s amazzzzing, although I haven’t seen much else around in the fruit department. Maybe just because it’s winter or something…

I start school tomorrow and I’m really excited! It will be nice to have a real purpose every day and to get to meet new people. Sophia (the coordinator who I met Friday night) said the school is just adorrrable. I’m curious to see what classes and age ranges I’ll be teaching.
It is so pretty/cold outside. It is like San Diego blue skies + Kennewick wind + Utah frigid factor. Weird combo, and I could do without the cold, but at least it’s clear and sunny. OK I’m going to go wander the city some more. I’m going to try to update like every day (probably more for me, cuz I’d like to have a good record of this lil trip and I get bored of regular journaling), so come back soon!
