Too Tired for a Good Title Tuesday

Emily and I left for breakfast this morning, but stopped by our classroom to drop off our books. Our teacher was already in there and she had brought toast! She had homemade strawberry jam and cream cheese-yum. Class itself was just okay. We spent the whole time talking about the different particles to use in sentences (used to show subject and objects in a sentence). 

Then, it was on to Taekwondo! When our instructor walked in, he was wearing a suit! He started talking in Korean and we finally found out that we were having our 'midterm exam'! We were giving a lot of time to stretch and practice our three kicks. We did our test in groups of three; we know "ahp chagi" (front kick), "yeop chagi" (side kick) and "dollyo chagi" (turning kick-like a roundhouse). I passed my Taekwondo midterm!


After language class, Emily and I went for a run off campus. Tim, Emily and I went to HomePlus and then to A Twosome Place to study after dinner. Colin (another IIIHR program member) was there studying so he joined us; he's been in Korea teaching English for 6 months, so he know's a lot about Korean and helped us. Ben and Kim stopped by to study a little bit later. Ben was meeting some of our Inje (Korean) friends for chicken, so Emily and I decided to join them for a little bit. 

Yang Yang, Emily, and me with our "ahp chagi" maybe?
