Last things


Here's a little look at the I-house end of the semester party.

Oops, I mean, "Carmichael College." We just voted on the name this semester--named after Amy Carmichael.

Not much to say about this post, just look at all the pretty pictures of us all dressed up.

Anyway.

Carmichael College End-of-Semester Banquet


Guess this means it's the end of the semester! 
Three weeks from today, I will be home.  Whoa.

Hi, Lauren

*I started this post a while back, so it's a little old, but never got around to finishing it.  So here it is. Finally.



Lauren, this blog post is for you, because you know I should be doing homework.  But I am (happily) putting it off at the moment for a short post, because it has been a while since I've posted.

So I'd like to take a moment to dedicate this post to my friend Lauren, who encourages me to be responsible.  Thanks, Lauren, I'll get to the homework right after this, I promise.  Well, this and a trip to maejeom for some snacks to ease the pain of homework.

On the subject of friends, though, I'd like to take this moment to also recognize that many of my friends decided to get married while I was gone. So while I can't be there with you, congratulations. 축하합니다!

And on the subject of marriage, this brings us to today's post.  I have your interest now, right?

Well, I mean to make this a short post, so I can actually do *some* homework today, so I'll keep it simple.

I went to the stationary store a while back to pick up cards to send to people graduating, getting married, etc.




I've mentioned before about the strange English on t-shirts, but strange sayings are not just for t-shirts. Oh, no.  When you need just the right words to say, Korean greeting cards have got that covered, too.




Perfect to send to my married friends...





Just what I wanted to say.

I would ask why anyone would put this on a card, but it's Korea.  Probably the same reason Immaculate Conception on a t-shirt.  

So don't be discouraged, because "EVERYBODY winds up kissing the wrong person goodnight."


**Don't worry, I'm going to send my friends nice cards for their weddings.  But my single friends?  
ㅋㅋㅋㅋ (Korean "haha")
