Now that I have completed my essay I can turn my attention back to my blog. I am usually always last minute so, of course, I didn't finish my UIP essay until this morning. :) Last week was quite relaxing considering all the field trips that we have been taking lately. It was nice to be "back into swing of things." We went bowling, iceskating, had a music class, visited Hyundai, and took a mini field trip to Gyeongju. In between all of the fun we did have a couple lectures about Korean History, Korean War, and also about the current issues in east Asia which was given by the U.S. consulate from the embassy in Busan. Besides my beat up knees from iceskating and the horrible sinus infection that I had most of the week, I would have to say it was one of the best weeks since I have been here. It was a little more relaxing and I got to know a lot of the students that I haven't gotten around to meeting yet.

I cannot believe that the program is almost over. Exactly one week from today I will begin my journey home. I have made friends from all around the world and have a ton of memories to share with everyone back home. The plan for next week is to visit Busan (Hyundai Beach) on Monday and lectures throughout the rest of the week along with a few cultural activities. On Friday, we graduate! Crazy.

My plan for the rest of my time here is to stuff as much of South Korea into my schedule as possible... There is so much I still want to see and do. :)
