Amy's Adventure to Inje: Orientations X2

This morning we had another orientation! It was for the IIIHR (Inje International Institute for/of Human Resources) program and we were able to meet the Chairman/Director of the program. He was very nice and invited us to stay in his home in Incheon if we ever wanted to visit Seoul. After the orientation we had a short break and then went to lunch-it was pork cutlet, which sounds "Western", but it is a very popular/common dish here. It was so strange to eat with a fork and knife again!! After lunch we had our writing class. The professor only speaks Korean (or says he does-so that we have to really try to pick up Korean) and we had to write all the Korean we knew for him to gauge which class we should be in. I am going to be in the beginners class-we got a big packet of homework!!! Writing in Korean takes a lot of practice! I worked on my homework when I got back from class and then Jenny (roommate) and I went to hang out with Maren and Emily before dinner. We had dinner and then ANOTHER orientation for the English Town program. The English Town program is a way for the Koreans to learn English from (mostly) native English speakers. So we are split into pairs or individuals and will be supporting a Korean student that will be running the class/discussion group. It will be interesting and a great way to meet more students. We had to introduce ourselves in front of all the students so that was a little scary. After that orientation a few of us wanted to have a movie night, but it was a huge challenge and we were not successful. We had two Swedish exchange/international students come into the lounge where we were and stayed to play card games with us. Now it is time for bed!!!
