Good Morning Seoul!
Midterms are coming up!  I have been staying indoors lately because of all the studying.  The temperature has also been dramatically dropping! It's about 60 degrees here throughout the day, and even colder at night! Yikes, I am not prepared for the winter!

Last Saturday was the International Fireworks Festival.  My friends and I wanted to watch it, but was told that the park was going to be very crowded.  Therefore, we went to the Banpo Bridge instead, hoping to catch a glimpse of the fireworks and also see the water fountain show.  We were lucky enough to see the fountain come on and shoot out water from the bridge with lights coloring the water! The lights and the water jets changed and danced to the music that were accompanying the water show.  The music played from under the bridge so that all could hear.  It was an amazing site!  We also could see the most of the fireworks, but they were small because we were far away.

Sunday, and this upcoming weekend will consist of a lot of studying!  Jarenn (a FISH Scholar) and I have been planning a trip to Thailand!  So far on our itinerary, we are planning on riding elephants, feeding tigers, seeing palaces and temples, and going through a floating market.  I am very excited for the trip!  We will be going after midterms, of course. =]

Have a good weekend everyone!
