k... i know it's been forever since i've written. 

things are alright.  just got back from the yicf retreat.  so glad i went.  i kind of decided to go on a last minute whim.  it was a really great time though.  met tonnes of good people.  very special time with God as well.  Man, i need to be more disciplined! 

tutoring lots.  reading lots of great books for classes.  i have the best job.  i get paid (and pretty well) to read books and discuss literature with my students...      

tomorrow morning i will be going to immigration.  i will have to tell them that i want to extend my stay... they will ask why.  i must tell that i want to learn more korean...  which is troubling and frightening because after 15 months, my Korean is still very very very poor.  i'm a little anxious that i will be immediately expelled from the country.
