선생님!!

What a day . . . I’d had quite a difficult time registering for the beginning Korean language class at the UW. While I registered for all of my public affairs courses back in June, I couldn’t register for Korean, because the professor requires individual meetings with the students. I tried to set [...]

Imagine my surprise when my mom and I stopped by the Wing Luke Asian Museum in the I.D., and I saw this little quote in one of the cases of the Asian & Pacific Islsander Adoptees exhibit! It’s an excerpt from an interview I did over a year ago, right [...]

Success!

That was quick! I have an apartment–yay!! Or rather, I’m renting a fabulous room in a fabulous condo on Eastlake owned by the fabulous B., my new roommate. I had a good feeling about him all along, ever since I saw his ad on CraigsList for a “hot ‘n’ sexy roommate.” [...]

Happy Birthday . . . when???

When I was visiting with my 4th aunt at my halmoni’s birthday party this spring, the subject of my exact birthday came up. My aunt and my grandmother both remember that the day I was born was very, very cold, and it was definitely winter. That’s why they believe that October 21, 1978–the [...]
