The Ramblings of Loren Christopher

Hey everyone!  Well, I was sick these past few days so I haven’t been up to anything too exciting lately.  The air is so dry here that I think that’s partly what did it.  I had a TERRIBLE cough…kept me up all night and I lost my voice, but it’s coming back finally.  A couple of my Korean friends went to the pharmacy for me and got me some Chinese medicine that really helped (although it tasted horrible!).  So I’m back in the full swing of things, as of yesterday.  I’m trying to get my own system worked out with my classes.  It’s a little overwhelming with all my classes…I started work so suddenly and they kind of just threw me into it all….so I’ve been trying to get things organized and squared away.  My best friend Aubrey is coming to visit me in a couple of weeks!!  I can’t wait!  It’ll be fun to do some sightseeing with her and introduce her to my friends here, etc.  Also, I’m heading to Japan for a weekend coming up pretty soon.  Oh and it snowed yesterday!  This was the first time it has snowed since I’ve been here….it was so nice watching it from inside my bedroom.  Although walking home from work last night (a two-minute walk by the way) I fell on my butt TWICE!  It didn’t go unnoticed by all the strangers walking along the street with me either, haha.  Oh well, I just had to laugh at myself and get back up.  I’m just know they were thinking something like, “Awwe, look at the silly/cute foreigner!”  

I always like to post some media with each entry, so here are a couple recent pictures of yours truly: 

 I’m enjoying some Korean BBQ here, which by the way if you have never tried, you are missing out!!

 Hope you’re all doing well.  I’m feeling 100% better now so no worries!

Much love!
