Classes Day 2

I really like my intro to sociology professor. He seems very understanding, and his grading method is ideal! For example, our tests are multiple choice, but we have room for explanation if we think something about the question is ambiguous. That way, we can still get credit with a good explanation even if we mark the "incorrect" answer. :)

Korean language was interesting. I ended up exchanging my book, but the book indicated in the syllabus was wrong and I had the right one to begin with! All this effort for nothing ahah...
Anyway, today's lesson was just a review. We played a counting game in which one person starts with 1, then the next person says 2, and so on, but anyone that gets a number containing 3, 6, or 9 in the last digit claps instead of saying the number. Unfortunately, I'm super bad at games and also with numbers. The punishment for messing up was to sing. I sang the ABCs by the teacher's suggestion. I don't know how I feel about games having punishments, because I will lose each time haha.

Today I went to lunch with a group from Singapore. I think 95% of people I meet of KU international students are from there! It is a little

ramyun shop bibimbap

difficult for me to understand what they say sometimes since their intonation, speech rate, and some words (loanwords) are different. They also told me they tend to omit a lot of words while speaking. I didn't know much about Singaporean English or Singlish when I came here, so I am trying my best to keep up!

For lunch we went to a ramyun shop, but I had bibimbap (5000 won). It was like $3 cheaper than we can find in Ventura. The portions are still too big for me alone though, so I feel bad because it's hard to finish.

I hadn't seen the main entrance of the school until heading back from lunch. It's pretty! Also, no rain today!
