two & 2.

Two months and two weeks down. The leaves started changing and it has gotten very cold here. My school does not have heating in the building so I have to wear my winter coat all day while teaching, as well as my boots. It is going to be a long winter. Thankfully I have heating in my apartment. After much googling to figure out how to work it, i got the floor turned on! The heating here comes from the floor which is amazing! The apartment heats up quickly and then after turning it off, it stays warm for hours. The heat rises and I stay warm all night.

Made a trip to the eye doctor last week. I knew it would not be a normal experience. Whenever I go anywhere I am stared at and this was no exception. Hannah teacher came with me so she could translate. I sat there the entire time listening to them blabber in Korean. Hannah is very helpful but she tends to not translate anything back to me. She just looks at me as if I understood what was said. When I do ask her what was said she tells me about three words. Really? You just talked for about ten minutes straight and that's all I get? After a quick eye check with slightly weird equipment we ordered contacts and glasses for me. The glasses were done that day and the contacts a few days later. Korean service is a lot faster and nicer than back home.

Kaitlin and I played in a soccer game on Saturday with our foreign team. We played a high school boys team who killed us. It was fun to run around though and have a hard game! I was bleeding from my knees and my thigh. I should maybe take it a little easy; I am getting to old for this! After the game we met up with some friends at On the Border (a mexican restaurant from the US). Mexican food has never tasted so good. A quesadilla stuffed with cheese, chicken, avocado, peppers, sour cream, and onions is exactly what I needed. It is very pricey but absolutely worth it! I am thinking this will be a once a month deal.
