Korean Thanksgiving & the Aftermath

Chuseok (Korean thanksgiving) has come and gone already! The dates change every year as it is dependent upon the full moon cycle, and this year it was early. Starting Friday, Sept 12th we didn't have school; H went back the following Tues and B stayed home til Wed. There is a lot of variability between even the middle schools in our city: some friends had 5 days like B, and some only had the 3 day weekend.
We spent our holiday catching up on homework for 2 days. It was nice to stay home and just get some stuff done. Then on Sunday, the actual day of Chuseok, our friend Amy turned 25 so the foreigners had a big party at a river resort outside of town. There were about 15 of us and we all brought a dish to share. The theme was, "I can't believe you wore that to my party" so B wore and under-sized shirt and I dressed in mis-matching clothing like an old Korean lady (ajumma). We brought the game Catch Phrase, which the Aussies, Kiwis and Brits had never played, and it was a blast!
We're into our 3rd week of graduate courses at Sejong Uni, and our only major complaint is that it has been a major pain getting into Seoul on time. Just when we think we have a routine down, something comes up and throws a wrench in our timing. This Tuesday the aftermath of Chuseok made it so that one bus terminal was running 2 hours behind on tix, but luckily the other one had enough seats and we made it to Seoul. We have yet to have a smooth travel experience, so we're hoping that comes soon.
Our classes are progressing quickly. We already have a business stats mid-term on the 23rd, and an Organization of Mgmt. group paper and project due on the 27th. Needless to say, most of time is devoted to homework and reading.
Time for school again!!
