Sorry it has again been forever since I last updated. It appears that when I get more busy I simply write less, which is fairly sad because the busy stuff is the most interesting. Anyway, this last week has just been one week of crazyiness as everyone is trying to meet everyone and I can barely remember the copious number of names.
We had a week before classes started, and during this time we moved into the international house and had a one day orientation. Then we were let loose on our own. Silver and I have been hanging out a lot recently which is cool, we reminisce about Wesleyan a lot. She also loves to go to Itaewon which is great because I was slightly worried about trying to convince people that they really do want to go to 'homo hill'.
So Saturday we went out to Itaewon with another guy that we met, Pat, from Canada, extremely cool and very Wesleyan. Silver, because she hung out there a lot during the summer, knew some guys who we met up with and hung out with for the rest of the evening. They were all very sweet and really friendly. Around 5:00 am when most reasonable people would decide to go home we decided to fulfill our craving for waffles by going to this amazing brunch place. The breakfast was divine and my waffle was the best American food I've had here. Still this side tour meant we stayed out to oh...10:00 am. As one can imagine I crashed after that.
Otherwise the other days were spent going out to eat with new people every night and meeting up with folks on the hallway to go to PC bangs or other outings. Everyone here is still in the really friendly stage and there are a couple of cool guys who live on the hall. My roommate is a Chinese exchange student and really nice. It is a little strange being outside of the Wesleyan bubble and definitely makes me realize how the student body there is skewed to a certain demographic. A lot of the students are from big state schools, usually from the south or west.
Classes just started yesterday and I had my first one at 9:00 am, Modern Korean History. The professor seemed a little out of it but still was nice and the class readings have been interesting. Everyone says that they dull down the intensity of the classes for international students. Something that I actually right now find annoying. We'll see how it goes. Alright I've got class in a couple of mins. just a quick update.

Spain is awesome, but we have four or five weeks of orientation and it´s getting old. Gonna go buy new poi tomorrow cuz I left mine (surprise surprise).
