소원을 말해 봐~

The lyrics of a recently popular song (well considering how fast Korean pop moves maybe it's not even that popular anymore!) called "Genie," these lyrics mean "Tell me your wish."

This was the first song we sang at karaoke yesterday, that is, that Yukiko sang, doing the dance along with it as well haha! (which I believe Dana taught her haha).
Class bonding is really one of the best parts of Sogang :). Sadly there will always be people who never come to any of our events ;\, as is the case with some people in our class. Alas, the rest of us can have our fun :).
Unfortunately we didn't do much this week :(. It was one of my classmate's, Yuki's birthday though, so we surprised her and celebrated her in class :D.
Quite funny the process we had to go to to surprise Yuki haha. First, our teacher thought her birthday was the week before so we had a card with the wrong date that we ended up having to rewrite completely XD. And when the time came to surprise Yuki, our teacher during the break time asked Yuki to go with her to her office. It was funny how much she had to stall though, because apparently she began to ask Yuki questions like "So...what do you think of the teaching materials?" Hahahaha.
Our makeshift cake made of Dunkin Donuts hehe. It was really yummy! Celebrating Yuki's birthday made me think of how sad it'll be that my birthday is on the day of the final test of Level 6 T_T!

Continuing with the theme of adding food pictures to my blog--here are some more...but this time it's a bit different because none of this is Korean food haha.
That's risotto from an Italian restaurant Sneha took me too. Koreans and their cheese! I guess Italian food must be pretty popular in Korea. It's crazy how expensive cheese is here though. Getting cheese added to anything (weird to think of it in rice and noodles and tteokbokki [rice cakes] right? but I guess it's not any weirder than putting cheese in spaghetti since that's a carb too!) adds at least 1000won to the price--and that's for like a slice of Kraft singles lol.
And before karaokeing, the "meal" we had at Naoko's house. They had bought pizza and fried chicken and spiced chicken. It's funny how this is other countries' perceptions of "American food"! At the same time, it's kind of ironic that most Americans (at least that I know...) would not eat this for *dinner*--that perhaps it would be more of a lunch meal? Regardless it's super popular in Korea. It's also interesting how Korean pizza has SO many toppings on it--it does make it quite delicious though :) (I think I might have mentioned Korean pizza the last time I was here too--how fancy it is haha).

Ahh, I can't believe finals are approaching so fast--two more weeks! Eek! Time sure moves by fast. At the same time I can't believe I've only been here for two months--it feels like it's been forever. Funny how time can move so fast and slow at the same time.

Okay, our mountain trip was moved to this weekend instead, so I'll take lots of pictures! And, I'll try to get a new lens by this weekend to make up for all these awful blurry photos!!!
