This is going to be a short recap of the day post. I woke up early and actually exercised this morning. Afterwards, I studied a bit and napped b/c boring books put me to sleep really easily. I then rushed to campus, visited the KU museum and ran to my art class. As I breathlessly walked through the door, I realized not a soul was in the room. Class was canceled and I apparently didn't get the memo. So I had 4 free hours before my next class so I grabbed lunch at the cafeteria. Here's what I got:

The steamed egg and stew dish were really good and had a resemblance to what my parents make at home. The pajeon and salad, however, was nasty and I chucked them. A bunch of middleschoolers came and soon I was surrounded by a pack of youngsters chit chatting in Korean. I was really tempted to strike up conversation with them but chicken out because Koreans take the hierarchy thing seriously an don't usually make friends with older people. I walked around for a bit and found the perfect homework/people watching spot that was secluded yet surrounded by hustle and bustle. I finished the billion pages of Korean homework and went to the Samsung Centennial Memorial Hall to explore it more in depth. The KU museum is housed there and there are some interesting works of art. My favorite part of the building is the cafe because you can plop down anywhere and study while observing students come and go. Plus, it's somewhat cheap (it caters solely to students) and really close to a convenience store so you can buy snackers if you don't feel like ordering anything off their menu. And the have patbingsu which is a really cool dessert that I have yet to try.
After Korean class, a couple of friends and I went out to eat a Korean restaurant called *name* and OMG, it was delicious. We had Chicken (something) Masala with rice and Nam (really yummy flatbread). I got a mango lassi and that was the perfect end to my first Indian food experience. The owners are really nice as well and their Korean is top notch (their son was speaking fluent Korean and he's only like 4). I will definitely be back there later

JP, Jessica and I then headed off to a cafe to study but we ended up having the coolest conversations on really interesting topics. They are awesome people and just chit-chatting with them made me really happy. I <3 my friends here!
Here are pics of the cafe and my caramel mochiatto :D

We went in search for corn ice cream but couldn't find it in the marts near school. I hate how things work like that. You look for something high and low and when you don't want it or need it anymore, it appears *sigh*
Today was basically an awesome day and even though midterms are the day after tomorrow, I'm feeling really good :D
