Well, school is ok. I have foreign teachers for three out of five of my classes. I can understand one of them fairly well, but the other is quite difficult to interpret. My classes will go fine. I have two writing intensive classes and another class that has a 15-20 page paper (for no reason I think). So, I'll be keeping busy.

About a week ago, Oh Hwan and I went and cut up some trees with a chain saw. It was exciting since I hadn't ever used one before. This morning we are going again. With the rising cost of heating oil, his father's friend's offer of "free firewood" (you just have to cut it) seems really good.

I have no money. School things were about 500 dollars more than I thought they were going to be. Lame. The book I am reading is good though it's entitled "Fast Food Nation." It goes into incredible detail about the inner workings of Fast Food chains, the beef industry, the flavor industry, etc, etc. It reminds me of feudal europe, or of share croppers or something.
