this blows but its not bad

spicy seafood stuff with vegetables

greetings it is 415 in the morning right now and i have been up for a total summation of 21.5 hours now and i have to be up in a couple of hours actually to get ready for training!  so i had to take four tests on monday and i failed half of them, no surprise there considering i went out the night before and got intoxicated as opposed to staying in and studying for the tests that i actually indeed knew about in advance.  i re-took these two tests on tuesday afternoon and passed them with flying colors, however i wonder if i really did because the top trainer just scanned through them and said im good at the end.  today (or technically yesterday) we had to take a medical and drug exam and it was so nerve wracking because this could be what determines whether we stay in this country or not ultimately (not that i should have anything to worry about, right? ...).
  ive been counting how many hours of sleep ive been having every night and its not jet lag that is getting to me, its time management and all of this intense training that we are going through.  not only am i learning how to do my job, it seems as if im learning a lot about american government through my korean job at this big korean company, ironically.
  anyways, the two pictures above are from dinner last night (or a couple of nights ago, i dont know anymore) and the first picture is of a spicy korean dish with seafood and vegetables that you mix and cook together on the table, and the second picture is of my cousin, my roommate lagloria, and my mother.  i dont know if i mentioned this but the mother came to korea with me because she couldnt let her baby come alone without any close help and as spoiling as that is, i really appreciate that she came because shes been a huge help for me and my roommate.  alright time to take a shower and a little nap before going to training for a full day again!  peace buddies.  =)
