6-12-07: A trip to Seoul

Monday began with one thing: Running. Waking up at seven was nothing new or bad for me, but going on a three mile walk at 7:30 in the morning is a different story. It was fun to have some time with my mom, but it was also tiresome. After our walk, a quick breakfast and shower, my dad took me to my orthodontist. On the way we told the taxi driver the wrong place. So we ended up going downtown instead of where we needed to go. As a result we were late to my painful appointment. I had my top wire changed along with this weird white stuff put on my bottom brace. After that it was off to the train station for another adventure.



At the train station we took the train up to Seoul. Upon arrival we ate a quick lunch and went to my dad’s business’s office. At the office we met my dad’s friend who was going to help us find a hand phone (or cell phone) among a couple of other things my dad needed help with. After searching for a while out in the scorching sun, we ended up going back to the office and buying a phone online. After clearing up some other business, we were off again to dear old Daejeon, and arrived home just in time for dinner. After dinner I read until I fell asleep. That was a busy, but quality father-daughter time, kind of day.

6.10.07 - A Lazy Sunday



Sunday began lazily (as the title infers). The weather is getting hotter now, and my church wardrobe needs refurbishing. So after looking through my clothes a couple of times, I finally decided on blacks slacks with a black shirt and white short-sleeved jacket/hoodie. Going to church was refreshing, not only the praise and worship, but also the sermon. The pastor preached about Stephan and Saul, and it was quite interesting. When the sermon ended we had our Sunday school class. We didn’t really accomplish that much because everyone was tired from finals. But it was still fun.

When I arrived home from church, I turned on my music and didn’t really do anything until four (church gets out around 1:30). At four I tackled my filing project once again until dinner. After dinner my brother and dad watched a movie while I wrote e-mails, and my mom worked on other things. Later I worked on my filing, and that was my Sunday in a nutshell.

6.9.07 - The first free day!!


My Saturday began with filing. Being the nerd I am (according to various friends), I began to tackle the laborious process of filing all of my papers from ninth grade. As with all of my projects, I tend to start with the small and seemingly insignificant details and work my way up until I have reached my final goal. With that concept firmly embedded in my head I began to sort. I started with the papers on my floor first. After two solid hours of sorting (my room still looked like a tornado had been through it according to my father), I went to a mini-mart and bought some manila folders, labels and ice cream. Then, ice cream in hand, I indulged myself in a mind enhancing computer game. When I had gained a sufficient amount of progress for the day, I called quits and attempted to clean my room once again... that is until I received a phone call.

A quick call from a friend prompted me to leave my house and go to his. After arriving there myself and a couple of others went to lunch at McDonald's. After eating his mom drove us to a department store and we watched a popping contest for a while. Although dancing is not one of my interests, my friends are quite involved in it. After that we went into the department store and began looking around at a game shop. Later we ended back outside and the competition was still going on. My friend’s mom came and dropped me off at my house where I finished off the rest of my first free Saturday.
