Last Post on July 12th?! Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, Shea!

Hiho, Miss Christine here. So sorry about the delay--has it really been three months since my last blog entry?! Good Lord. I feel like I should be apologizing every time I enter onto blogger's site. Ahh negligence, the only true form of procrastin...ation.

So what has happened since July? Things have been busy busy busy at school. I still love my job and my co-workers--the kids are okay. ^^ heheh Kat moved out of our apartment building so I don't get to see her that much anymore. We have new teachers and they're rad. I turned 32. We had a vacation and I did a lot of knitting. I'm writing stories again (AWESOME!) and I have finally have a knitting buddy in Korea. I have done 2 5K's and I'm really enjoying the time that I get to go out and walk.

Yesterday I took Dresden to the Salon (aka The Vet) and now he has a lion cut. I thought they would have left more of the mane but he has this oval-ish face now and it's so stinking cute.

Here is a before shot, the morning of, no less...



And the aftermath....



He is so much happier about the hair being gone. Even when I adopted him on June 4th he didn't care for me grooming him on his back, near his tail. Now he is all sorts of free and quite lovey.

A few months back I had contemplated going home for Christmas and taking Dresden with me and then leave him at my Mom's house and then come back to Korea--that way he'll already be acclimated to "American culture" (har har) and I would be free to travel. I'm glad I decided against it--I don't think I would want to be without him.

My hair has gotten wicked long--I still haven't gone to get it cut here. I am rather apprehensive about going to a Korean salon because they don't really know how to cut foreigners' hair. Korean hair is pretty thick, so they normally get it thinned out. And while I usually get my hair thinned out because I have so much of it, I would rather just wait it out. Recent picture, you ask? Well, okay.



So yeah. I turned 32. I got fabulous presents from Mumsy, Jess and Jeremy, Joey, Kat, Sarah, Shane, Bri, and Ben. And three birthday cakes! ^^ I bought myself a new iPod Touch, an awesome pair of Ray Bans, and a fabulously fake Le Sport Sac purse.

I'm currently knitting Dresden a hoodie, so pictures will be up of that soon, but I did finish two scarves for my friends Brittany and Shane.

This one is Britt's


And this one is for Shane


Over the vacation I went around and took pictures of Seoul Tower, and hung out with Joey and his girlfriend Sam, who was visiting from Florida.















Most of these shots were taken with my iPod Touch with an app called "Camera +." It comes highly recommended.

So that's about it. Class is about to start so I had better scoot. Until the next three months.

Stay classy, Seoul and beyond. You've earned it.
