Brief overview of today...

School
- enjoyed gym class for the first time in ...forever. PE in the US is not kind to the unathletic sort.
- now have a future piano duet partner, pinky-swore on playing together next week
- apparently (with no consenting on my part) I'm accompanying my class' choir in the school festival

Hongdae
- visited the bread shop for maybe the tenth time
- mysterious toothache and slight hypochondria lead me to the dentist, met with some practices slightly less hygienic than I would like and a dentist telling me "Your teeth fine. I think pain...disappear...soon" Phew.

- sheep cafe with kelsi and gadi. A little disappointed that the sheep weren't roaming freely but this feeling disappeared upon eating the most delicious waffle I have ever had in my life and then taking pictures with the sheep.

Thoughts
Chuseok (Korean thanksgiving) is coming up soon and my host mother is stressing out! I keep telling her that I'll help her out, hopefully this will make things less difficult for her and I'll learn to cook some Korean dishes as well! I plan on doing some research on the holiday before it happens. Excited to meet the extended family (and to have a five day weekend!)

Host mom is hooked on an American television show, Pretty Little Liars (I never saw it before coming here) and we watch it together regularly. I actually learn quite a lot of Korean words when talking to her about it. I should probably start watching more Korean as well...

Played a little piano today but have yet to sit down and practice seriously. Host mom gets super excited whenever I play and insists that I should start taking lessons again.
