Remember a few days ago when I was complaining about what a hard time I was having writing that stupid paper for my single solitary class? Remember how I said that I laboriously dragged six pages out of my skull while feeling sure that the finished product would be barely readable? Well, here's the email I got back:
Thanks for the paper, Christina. It sounds like you had a great experience and learned lots. Your paper was well written, a skill that is becoming somewhat rare these days.
All the best in vet school!

Ahahaha! This is awesome. Even my on-vacation, no-effort, un-proofread papers get compliments. I am like unto an essay-writing god!
Okay, enough of that. Today I worked through my Korean textbook and workbook trying to catch up with my class. I'm still a little behind on vocabulary, but otherwise I think I've pretty much covered everything they have. Oh, and check out these characters from my textbook:
The Korean-American is named Susan, and the Korean is named Sola. I think that's spelled differently from "Seolah," but still that's a pretty freaky coincidence.
These riceball things are delicious. They each have different fillings in them, like shrimp, kimchi, beef, etc. I can't read their wrappers, so I usually just grab whichever color looks good and have a mystery meal.
I went back to the park with the tombs. The cherry blossoms are gone, but other things are blooming and it's much more colorful now.
OMG, Susan and Sola in the Korean textbook?? What a coincidence! Probably your destiny to learn Korean :-)
ReplyDeleteMy name, Seolah is 설아 in Korean, Sola 소라. It's different pronunciation in Korean but it's similar one in English. Even your mom calls me 소라 sometimes though I really don't care cuz i like both names.
I totally agree you're such a great writer, Christina!
LOL! I had no doubt that you would get a great feedback on your paper.
ReplyDeleteSeolah - I am glad you don't take it personally when I butcher your name. Are you sure I cannot give you an American name - Sara comes to mind:)
Chris, do you have a korean name? If not, we have to assign you one! you should call me by my korean name too!! haha
ReplyDeleteI don't have a Korean name, but I want one! One time when I was getting all into my heritage I asked Mom what she would have named me if we lived in Korea. She said she didn't know. I pressed her, and she was like, "Well, you can have my name. You can be Heasung."
ReplyDelete"That's cheating, Mom!"
By the way, I don't think I even know your Korean name, Stellar.
