10 down, and 2 to go!!!!

Months that is... 10 months down and 2 to go!!!!!

Hello all! I know it has been a while, yet again, but I have some good excuses as to why. I have been a busy little girl over here in Korea. As you can see by the above pic though, I do make time to play!!! VERY important... Work hard, Play hard... words to live by!!!! This was our first snow fall in Korea, another pic to come at the end of this entry.

So this is one thing that has been keeping me busy... "Alien Encounter". This is the show that I have been doing for the past two months. Friday through Sunday I perform this show. That is, I do 16 shows in three days... And on Christmas weekend (Friday-Monday, yup, shows on Christmas) I did 22 shows in four days!!!! It's a lot!!!! But it is performing, I CAN'T COMPLAIN!!! LOVE IT!!! I will say this though, I am SO tired of wearing my hair in pig tails and those darn freckles!!!! I can't seem to get rid of them here at EV!!!! That's all right though, anywhere else in the world I would NEVER play a little girl. I will take it while I can. HA!!!

This next pic is from our "Girl's Night". What an AWESOME night. Two of my good friends here (Natasha and Kristen) put it all together themselves. It was about 15 of us girls. And let me just tell you, it was SO much fun!!!!! They rented out this deluxe suite with a normal hot tub inside (what we are in here) and a HUGE wooden hot tub outside. It fit all of us 15 girls! We drank and laughed the night away. Trying hard to NOT talk about boys the whole time!!!! It worked... almost. But really, what is a girls night without talking about boys? They just aren't allowed to come... and I KNOW they WISHED they were there!!!!!! Sorry boys, ladies only tonight!!!!

So it is of course the holidays, and thus, MANY holiday parties. This is a pic from my Christmas Eve bash. SANTA CAME!!!!! It was awesome!!!! It was nice to spend Christmas Eve with my good friends here in Korea. This was my first Christmas away from home. It was hard, and I missed you all horribly, but I made it through because of all of my AMAZING friends here at EV!!!!! Love you guys!!!!!!

This pic is from our first snow fall. It all started when a couple of friends came over to watch a movie, "Legend" to be exact. Just as the movie finished I hear this thump on my window. I didn't really pay that much attention to it as there are always weird noises coming from EVERYWHERE in my apartment. But then it happened again, and again, and again!!!! I look out my window and it is more of my friends throwing snow balls at my window. So all of us in my room quickly throw on our coats and shoes and RUN out to play in the snow with everyone. It was SO beautiful!!!!! Snow covered EV!!!!! This pic is a table full of snowballs that we were waiting to pelt at anyone that came close!!! hehehehehe

This pic here is of another friend of mine, Natasha. We are going on a trip to India together in mid-January!!!! We are going to be there for 10 days!!!! The first day we have a layover in Bangkok for 24 hours!!! No sleeping for those 24 hours!!!!! And then we are off to INDIA!!! YAY!!! It is going to be SO MUCH FUN!!!!! I am going to see the Taj, LIVE and in person!!!!! Oh...My...Gosh!!!!!! MANY pics to come from that!!!! PROMISE. Also, in mid-February I am going to Guam for a girls trip. Kind of like one last hurrah before we all go back home. Both trips are going to be SO amazing. India is more of a culture trip and Guam is a party trip. They are both going to be something that I will NEVER forget, I am sure!!!

Another thing that has been keeping me busy these past two months, I joined the Korean Military. Really. OK, not actually joined the military per say. I started teaching the military boys English. It was SO much fun teaching adults. It ran for two months, November and December. They were so receptive and amazing. Unfortunately, with everything happening over in North Korea, it did get canceled a couple of times. But what saddened me the most was that it got canceled the last two weeks. I had a HUGE Christmas party planned for them, and it never got to happen. AND, I never got to say good-bye to them!!!!! They were great men!!!!!

SO, as you can see, I have been quite busy around here. I miss you all SO much and can't wait to see you in EIGHT WEEKS!!!! (not that I am counting or anything, hehehehehe) Take care!!!! Love and miss you all!!!! MUAH!!!!
