we just got back from another field trip. we've been going on them a lot lately. this time, we went and stayed in a church? kind of a church. there were cute little korean nuns running around. we had a bonfire. and then some farmers ordered beer for us. some places deliver beer and other such things. it's pretty convenient, when you speak korean. i didn't drink much that night, as i had been up drinking until 5 a.m. the previous night and was sleepy. i went to class at 10 that day, too. the teacher was concerned because i imagine i looked like hell. and probably smelled like it too. so he ended class like an hour and fifteen minutes early and told me to go to bed.

we planted rice the next day. for serious. barefoot in a mud pit of a rice field, planting rice. i cut my foot. and it was cold. and there were a couple news crews filming us? the news in korea must be pretty slow, because they keep filming us doing uninteresting things. i'm pretty good at planting rice, though. i think i could be a rice farmer. all the real farmers got to wear big rubber boots. man, that would have been sweet.

there were dogs there, too. i played with them. but then one of them got a little bit too excited and tried to have sex with me. i was like, "ummmm, no."

our last field trip was to a ceramics festival. it could have been kind of cool, but i had also been out drinking all night before that one (see a pattern yet?) and i felt pretty terrible. i had to have lunch with our coordinator and a visiting professor-lady, and i was so sick i couldn't even eat and mostly stared at the food trying to not think about throwing up everywhere. then we got to hike up a mountain and go to a ceramics museum. oh man. but there were donkeys halfway up the mountain. i don't know why ceramics and donkeys go together, but there they were. they were the best donkeys ever.

i bought a digital camera today. my first one ever, because i am lame. it is also an mp3 player, so i was like, "cool!"
