average day

today we had the usual breakfast (i'm tired of it, but from tomorrow on it'll be Korean only so I will probably grow to miss the weird hot dogs).

At ten we had our activity for the day, which was singing a Korean song. Finally being a music major is paying off, I was sight-reading the music and singing along but very few people could so we had to spend a ton of time learning it by rote. I volunteered to sing it up front later and that was okay I guess. She had us drum out a rythm for about 30000000000 minutes and it was annoying because everyone rushes in a group, a phenomenon that I abhor. Then, she ran out of things to do and asked if anyone wanted to sing a song up front, any song. Nobody volunteered at first so I did "Reflection" from Mulan and got a lot of laughs, it was fun.

Lunch was good, we had the Korean summer dish of a little (whole) chicken stuffed with rice in chicken broth and stuff. Also a little like fried fish dish that didn't taste like fish at all, looked and tasted like flat tofu. It was smothered in this great sauce and sesame seeds and stuff and I got Yu-san's, Ian's, and Eric's after I went back and saw that none were left. Had a great conversation too about stuff.

Then we met with our camp groups and talked about a skit, ours is going to be okay and possibly but it is top secret!

There was a group hike scheduled at 3 and the leaders (Yu-san, Ian, and Ethan) had planned to take us up to the gazebo we went to yesterday, so Sam and I let them stay back and led the group back up there. Took 20 minutes, while it took an hour and a half the round about way we did yesterday >< Then we walked all over the place, and as usual most of the group left and Sam and I with some others just kept on trekking. Checked out this sick arboretum and got a dirnk from the vending machine - MILKIS "New feeling of soda beverage". It's a Korean Calpis knockoff but it is just as good if not better. The rest of the hike was sick, and as usual we made it back in like a half hour despite being gone for way longer. Dinner was good.

We had some karaoke and I sang "I wanna hold your hand" but left after all the other songs I would've sung were by other people and I wanted to leave. It was mainly missouri kids and I feel like they're overall quite a different culture than psu ones, surprise surprise, so it was weird. Plus, karaoke in groups over like 10 or 15 is just too much for me :P

Guess I'll read some more Speaker for the Dead and drift to sleep. Woo.

I really love it here in Wando, it is so peaceful and serene. Most of the places we walk to would be so great to just hang out to. I think I'm going to keep hiking often when I get home.
