still hungry.

a friend from yale taught me how to make these while i was in japan.

:(

I've been sick for the last few days (but yay! no swine flu) and all I've wanted to do is roll in bed and call home. Earlier today I video chatted with my mother, and nearly wailing, cried out, "엄마" (more like ommaAAAAaaaAAAAaaahh)." I told her how I missed her cooking, especially her chicken soup, and she responded by putting my dog in front of the camera... my family has a strange sense of humor.

So, instead of resorting to mom's home cooking I mustered the energy to cook for myself... and no, it wasn't Campbell's.

favorites.

greg inspired me to post photos from my summer in japan... here are a few of my favorites.

Many people have asked why I would start a language during my senior year of college. Though I do not have one particular reason, I suppose it largely rests on the two months I spent in Asia this passed summer. During my time abroad I spent a little over one month in Tokyo. I worked with college students from various universities. I was impressed by the level of English fluency many students had. I suppose this, combined with wanting to take classes of interest during my last year, led me to enroll in first year Japanese. Though we've only had classes for two weeks, I can honestly say that Japanese has taken up most of my time. While I find the grammar to be relatively similar to Korean, learning hiragana has been quite difficult. :0/
