Applications!!

This week my life has officially become crazy. All of my classes have gotten going full swing, and 3 of them in particular need like 45 minutes of studying every day because there is sooo much freaking reading. On the plus side, in my Korean class we just watch a Korean drama every week, fill out a worksheet online, and then talk about it in class. So overall my workload is bearable. And the Korean drama we watch is pretty fun actually- I wasn't expecting to enjoy it either.
It's called "My Name is Sam Soon" and here in Hawaii it's a kind of a big deal. It's pretty much your typical melodramatic Korean stuff, but it's pretty funny too.

I'm also trying to finish up three applications this week, One for Flagship, another for FAFSA stuff, and the last for a summer study abroad in Mongolia, which if I get accepted to I would have to go, because it's a pretty neat opportunity and I'll get school credit for it(I know it's not exactly the most exotic place, in fact, it doesn't even break my top 5 places to go in Asia list, but you have to admit it would be cool. Plus did I mention I'd get school credit?). So that's what I'm up to this week.

Also, I read an article by the Sportsguy about his dog The Dooze. I like the way he wrote about her, and how she became a part of the family. Even if you aren't a dog person it's a good piece of writing. Here's a link

Welcome to Good Burger, Home of the Good Burger

I know it's Wednesday, but I had a great weekend, as it was of the extended variety. We had an extreme weather warning Friday, and school was cancelled (also, we got no more extreme weather than a few drops of rain). Then, with MLK day Monday our weekend was lengthened to 4 days.

I took this as an opportunity to get myself mostly settled in my new place, and to go eat a burger at the greatest restaurant I've ever been to…well, that may be a bit of an overstatement, but it was a good burger joint nonetheless. It’s called Burgers on the Edge, or something like that, and it is delish. You start by picking your pattie, it can be standard chuck, Japanese Kobe beef, or if you’re a wussy vegetarian, a chicken breast. And if you’re a really wussy vegetarian, they have some kind of mushroom pattie thing too.

Next, you get to choose from a bevy of cheeses and sauces( only 1 of each, unless you want to pay more). I went with sharp cheddar and a garlic aioli. For those of you who don’t know, an aioli is basically just a fancy French name(well, I think it's french) for a garlic and olive oil sauce. So it didn't really need to be called "garlic aioli" because an aioli has garlic, by definition. But I digress. Lastly, you get 4 toppings to throw on this sucker for free. I got grilled onions, roasted red pepper, sundried tomatoes, and bacon. Mmmm Mmmm good! My friend and home-teaching companion Jon got bacon, bacon, bacon, and bacon on his.Here are the pics! Ok, actually, I don’t know how to put the pics from my phone onto my computer yet, so I’ll do it later.
