Almost done with orientation!

Oh gosh its been awhile.  Well here it goes.  I haven’t updated in a while because, well, its been a whirlwind of a time.  Not only did we finish orientation, but I am officially moved in.  We finished up Korean language classes with a graduation trip to Seoul.  Though i barely know any Korean, i did pass.  Though perhaps everyone does, I know I was the worst.  Well we got to Seoul super early as per usual.  We mingled, ate some snacks, and then got ready for the ceremony which consisted of some pretty awesome skits from all of the classes.  We then ate a ton of food, got subway sandwiches, and headed to discuss our contract review.  A lot of complaining but its still a pretty good deal, 18 days off mandatory, ill take it! Afterwords we were given some PAPA JOHNS PIZZA! and then headed back to the hotel.  At this point we had been up since 5 am, so many of us opted to stay in for the night, which included an awesome bath :) (and the theft of several complimentary sewing kits) what a class hotel.  The next day we got some brunch…so amazing!  we then walked around, did some shopping, and just generally hung out and explored.  After getting lost on the subway we made it back to the hotel where i turned around with a group to head to the foreigner district for food.  Wound up with Thai (awesome) and hung out.  I then met some af guys who were wearing ASU shirts, welcome to small world, this kid was from jersey went to ASU and we ended up in a Patriots themed sports bar in the middle of Seoul.  We hung out with them for awhile and then when they had to make curfew, we wandered.  Met a few other of our group, split up, wound up at a club, and took a taxi home.  The next day we woke up early to go to hwachon.  The DMZ was closed for the holiday weekend so we went to this town on the Northern border.  IT would have been interesting except for the 5 hours of traffic we encountered instead of the normal 2.  We did get to see North Korea though, and the final battle place for the Korean war.  But then more traffic.  We again got back super later and i was planning on staying in but wound up seeing Guardians of the Galaxy in 4D!!!! yes not 3 but 4.  The seats moved, lights flashed, air blew, and the seat vibrated.  It was REALLY cool!  Then an exhausting three hours of sleep before the bus ride back.
