Touched down last night. Didn't sleep the night before i left, a whole lot due to last minute packing and cleaning up the apartment at Fishtrap. It was good though, Jared came out and we reminisced and talked about how this really does feel like the end of our college era. He is going to be the last one in the Spokane area and everyone is graduated or close to it.
In SeaTac I met two other teachers going into the same program as me. Which was awesome because that means we found the right bus together and got a cab together to our hotel. We were all so tired and wanting a shower so badly from the plane ride, I got to the hotel around 8:00 PM last night, showered and passed out for 3 hours and woke up when my roommates came back from the bar. Pretty cool people. One was from Snohomish, WA, the other two from California. We talked for a few hours and I made use of the hotels high speed internet and got caught up on my episodes of the Office and Doctor Who.
A quick story from the plane ride. We were served two meals on the plane along with several drinks, and everytime they asked me what i wanted i always opted for the Korean food or drink. The two koreans on either side of me enjoyed this and when I got the lunch special the stewardess asked if i knew how to eat it.....
It's food right? been doing it for 24 years now, most of those years on my own. But the lady next to me told her not to worry and she would show me how. The gentlemen on my other side kept telling me to put more and more hot sauce on it and i was like, maybe i'll put more on later. So she showed me how to mix all the stuff together and what NOT to mix in with the main meal. And i finished everything on my tray which apparently means i want more because everyone all three of these people in my story kept asking me if i had enough to eat and if it was "sufficient". I laughed and said yes, not all americans need to eat multiple helpings (it was true i did eat a cheeseburger right before i got on the plane)
But it was a good, if not sleepless, plane right with plenty of head-rest movies to watch.
That's all the blogging time for now. My roommates are getting up and i think we are going to venture out for some food.
More on the Korea situation later.
