sunny day

After two drizzly, rainy days, today is sunny and WARM! It's so nice outside, I changed into some 운동복 (exercise clothes) and am going outside for a little jog. Yay! I checked the weather online, though, and it's expected to turn cold again for the weekend. That's OK. I'm in no hurry for hot weather to come.

I changed my phone from English language to Korean language today (the menus and display). We were talking about phones, messages, answering machines, etc. today in class, so I figured I'd get more practice if I had to figure my phone out in Korean. Even though I'm used to using it in English, it makes me think when I see the Korean words there. I'm understanding a lot more of what I hear and read, but still have a long way to go. When I'm not busy on the bus, I read signs and ads as I pass and on the inside of the bus. It used to just give me practice sounding things out, but now, since I understand more, I can get practice spelling things, and can figure out what unknown words mean from the context clues. (Context clues - that word takes me back to elementary school reading class!) It's pretty exciting stuff to be able to use a foreign language, but still frustrating when I can't say what I want.

Now...off to enjoy this sun!
