an nyoung!

or hello, as we like to say here in America. yet, as you may know, my time in America is getting shorter and shorter as i prepare (oh the process of preparation) to depart on my month long escapade. packing is getting extremely stressful, as it is requiring many trips to search for certain clothing items amoung a limited number of stores. my bedroom is no longer suitable for sleeping, so the couch has been serving a new purpose for the past few nights. today i received some Korean won (their currency), and it is much different from our money. i think i'm going to have a hard time adjusting to spending three thousand of anything on an item such as a hamburger. i've also finally received detailed packing instructions, albeit five days pre-trip. it just helps to know. tomorrow should be a full day of ironing, packing, and more of the same. oh, and also, to relieve stress i'm sewing a new nightgown. should be interesting to see if the project is completed in time to make the trip- its completing is directly proportional to my stress level. by that, it might be ready for wear by tomorrow night.
