I just spent 3 hours writing up progress reports on my 4 classes. Who knew it would take so long to write a few lines for each kid? I have a new appreciation for what my teachers used to go through.

My friends called me today. It was so nice to talk to them. It's been at least 2 months since I heard their voices. Although, they do sort of make it harder to be away. Knowing there are people that miss me makes me more homesick. Nevertheless, it was great to hear from them.

In other news, I kept with my retail tradition of the weekend and bought a book today. It should be an interesting read. Toby and I went to a place called COEX today. It's a huge mall in Seoul. The best things are the bookstore, the airconditioning, and the X-Box cafe. We played some lotus fighting fist game for about two hours over coffee. It was great fun, and apart from the coffee, it was free. Who knew I could enjoy video games so much? We may make a weekly trip out of it.

Vacation is officially over. It's 3:00 a.m. and I'm off to bed.
