Back to the Daily Grind
The past couple days have been soo busy (hence, no time for blogging). I had a great time over the holiday, but came back to a FULL plate at the institute. On Friday I had classes as normal and presented a 25 minute talk on Emotional Health in the evening.
This was my first time presenting to a large group in public. I've of course made mini-presenations at work and in college, but I was still a bit nervous. But, I got through it and will keep on improving each time I do it. I think this aspect of the job will be very helpful to me in the long-run.
Here are a couple photos of my Chuseok vacation. On a side note, the traffic hype was just that-hype. The traffic was nowhere CLOSE to East Coast Thanksgiving traffic.
Traditional Korean performers at Neverland.
Me eating Songpyeon!
Part of a traditional Chuseok Meal-- (clockwise) The top dish is Dduk, a Korean desert filled with black beans. The second dish is Songpyeon (see my last blog), and the last dish is bu chim gae, my favorite out of the group.

Dduk is not always a dessert - the ones filled with beans are... but they're a special kind of dduk... I forget what they are called. (I just called them dduk with beans) You can get dduk in a soup (dduk guk) or in a soup with won tons (dduk mandu guk).
The jack-o-lanterns were pretty cool!
