Sunday...Soccer!

This morning a small group of us went to breakfast. (It wasn't very good-too much seafood!) After breakfast Emily and I went to the Catholic church I found last week. I called Maren (with my newly acquired cell phone!) to meet up with Tim, Ben and her for lunch. We went to Kong's Riceball. It is kind of like a Korean fast food restaurant...kimbap is meat, vegetables, and rice rolled up in seaweed, but the riceballs are rice and a filling in a ball with small seaweed strips on the outside. It was really cheap and tasty! Everyone wanted to buy some groceries or other school/dorm supplies so we walked over to the Home Plus (like a Meijer or Walmart). Tim, Ben and I split the cost of a 3,000W soccer ball! Right away Ben was ready to play. Tim and I made him wait an hour.

Around 2:30 Tim, Ben and I met up to walk over to the soccer fields. The main field was being played on so we went to check out the small futsal type field. That was also being used, but there was a basketball court that was only being half used. So we started to just pass and shoot. Ben noticed our Swedish friends Magnus and Joakim watching the main field from the stands above us. We got their attention and asked them if they wanted to play with us. Of course they did! They went to go change and while we were waiting, we asked the three guys sharing the court with us if they wanted to play 3 v 3. They agreed and we played until Magnus and Joakim came back; they brought Ji a big soccer guy with them. Also around this time the 3 guys had one more of their friend join. We split into 5 v 5 then. A little bit later one of the dorm captains came to play too and another friend of the original 3 guys joined also. Then we had 6 v 6. It was a lot of fun playing even though I was the only girl. The only bad thing was Tim kind of rolled/sprained his ankle and is in a lot of pain.

We stopped playing around 5 and all the Inje students agreed to meet up for dinner at 6. We had a huge group walk over to dinner together. When we were getting into the Bio Tech dorm, I was talking to Emily and all of a sudden she kind of stumbles...and then she looked really dazed/confused like someone knocked her in the head. She kept trying to walk, but was falling against the wall and then she just fell over. It was scary watching her pass out-Joakim ran to get her some water from the cafeteria and dorm captain guy ran back to English Town dorms to see about calling an ambulance possibly. Ji helped Emily up and then Jenny and I helped walk her back to her room. We tried to get food for her from the cafeteria, but they wouldn't let us take anything out. After we ate, we stopped at Family Mart (convenience store) to get some yogurt, bread and Korean 'Sprite' for her. Jenny and I talked with her a little and then brought up our homework and we worked in Emily's room to stay with her. Maren and Emily's roommate came in shortly after and we had a big study group together. Now I am exhausted and ready for bed!
 PS: Jenny went out with some school friends and she came back with a cheese stick for me! It was the BEST thing ever!! Cheese is really expensive and hard to find, which is reeeeally depressing for me. 

So excited for Cheese!

Riceball! Yum!
