| i am sleepy all the time.
this sucks.

| yay.
i'm back in america. i am so tired, but i can't seem
to fall asleep.
i just talked to kevin for like 3 hours. haha.
he yelled at me for sucking at math and i yelled
at him for not knowing words and sucking at
writing. i think i might suck at math a lot more
than he sucks at writing...
anyways.
i can't wait to see everybody when i get back!!!
o. and i am super duper ultra excited about
Grey's Anatomy. the show has absolutely no point
and is completely repetitive in its don't-you-feel-sorry-
for-me love story plots. but!! i am hooked.
i get to watch it this fall on tom's huuuuge tv. puhahaha!!
ok. i'm going to try to get some sleep now.
goodnight!

| whoa!
i'm going back to america in two days.
it doesn't seem like it's been that long...
i talked to kevin for like 2 and a half hours
and joe for like 30 minutes on this Skype thing.
it's this computer phone thing that lets you
connect and talk to anyone on a computer
for free! all you need is a headset with a
microphone and you're set!
it would have been nice to have known
about this earlier...
so.....! tomorrow is my last day at work
and then i'm off to america the next day.
i'll be back in ithaca probably on the 18th.
can't wait to see everybody and move into
the new apartment!!
sssssennggg~~~~!

| back from our vacation!!!
we went to an-dong and it ended up
being a crazy trip!
my family and i are of the eui-sung (the name
the place where the original kim was born) kims.
i know where my grandfather, my great
grandfather, and my great great grandfather
were born and buried. my dad's from a big
family so i also know where most of my
family members live (all the way to my third
cousin). but... i have no idea who
or where my other ancestors are.
during our vacation we went to a 400
year old house built in the mountains.
while we were taking a walk by the stream,
we found a large gravestone in the middle
of two large tombs. it was written in
traditional calligraphy, so my dad read it
out loud to us. it read, "Here lies Kim Sung Ju
near his birthplace, the house of the Eui-Sung
Kims."
ok. my dad freaked. we ran up to the house
and asked the owner what kim "line" he was.
he told us he was of the eui-sung kim family
and that he was the oldest living son of the
eui-sung kim bloodline.
for those of you who don't know how
big of a deal this is, let me explain.
first of all, to find another eui-sung kim
is hard enough (most are kim-hae kims,
it's sort of like saying you are of the
Boston Johnsons, or something). the owner
of the house, we found, was my second cousin
three times removed. also, to find
one of the houses of your ancestors from 500
years back never ever ever happens. a lot
of the houses from way back were either
burned by accident or intentionally during
the Korean-Japanese war.
we had planned to just spend a relaxing
weekend in an old country home, but we
ended up finding (and spending the night in!!)
the birth and death place of my
great-great-great-great-great grandfather!!
wow-weee~~!!
o. and i also ate so many peaches, i look like
a peach now.
