5:27
We're on the bus in Seoul, heading to the hotel.
When the guide, TJ, said it would be about 20 mins... I don't know if that included gridlock, downtown traffic in mind.
At least THIS bus is nice and smooth like you'd expect.  If I felt like it, it'd even be possible to sleep without biting your tongue in two.
Imagine that!
Ended up not doing any of my paper work beyond a pair of paragraphs... I just don't know WHAT I'm doing.  Proff never actually explained HOW to write it. 'I posted the perfect example paper online' is all she ever really said.
It's supposed to be a review of the history/evolution of a given theory (mine being Para-social interaction), but the problem is, I can't get the original paper that created the theory from back in 1956.  In the databases, there is no pdf or text version, you have to request a physical copy from a library.
ffff-!
Well.. I'll just have to turn it in late.  *Sigh*
A C.  That's all I have to make in the class.  Just a C. *Crosses fingers til they turn white*
And I've got the final paper to make up for this f-up.
I would comment about Seoul, but it's rain-misty, foggy and can't really see anything but an endless sea of red lights ahead of us, rolling steel to the left, and train tracks and another bridge/raised-highway to the right over the river.
The train station was pretty nice.  A bit bare-bones in the way of anything but platforms and little corner stores, but I just sat and read my book for about an hour as we waited.
It's a very good book.  "Warded Man", I recommend it very much. (Halfway through)

On the way to the train, we stopped at a 'truck stop' to eat, and I had a hotdog.  Yet another taste of home.  Some of you might be scoffing, 'why would you eat stuff you can half any  time at home?', but if you dislike the majority of the local flavor, and having only that for over a week, makes you very homesick for the (unhealthy) stuff you know and love.  lol
Only reason we ate at that truck stop was because the guide wanted to stop for lunch at 11:30, which was way too early for we who just ate a big breakfast not 3 hours ago.
While the group went mountain climbing (ended up only seeing like 3 buddas there), I stayed back with one of the teachers, and the driver took us to two flat park/gardens instead (her knees are terrible).  I didn't see the first one, staying back to try and work on my paper, but the next one we walked around, drank some Korean tea and watched kids come in and play.
Breakfast was almost the same exact selection as the last hotel, just in bigger amounts.
..huh...

After a bit of debate, we just realized that it's Daylight savings time back home.  So now we're only THIREteen hours behind.  Yay.
Anyway, I'll finish up here, probably post something about the hotel once we're there.
Gonna have 30 mins to rest, refresh, then we're off to go to a dinner hosted by Seongdong-Gu (the university hosting us the whole time in Seoul)'s music department.
I... have NO idea what to expect.
At all.
Oh wait.  Yes I do.
Kimchi.  Lots of kimchi.
fFFffFfFffFFFf----!!!!
