Last weekend

On Saturday I went to the Filipino church. I met up with Geri, a teacher I remembered from my last time in Korea. She had also left Korea and came back. She's from Bermuda. We went to Children's Grand Park to see the cherry blossoms. There were many nice trees. We watched a baby elephant and some monkeys. There was a baby monkey that was very cute. It ran around with a tuft of grass in its mouth. I didn't know that Geri had studied in the USA. She told me she studied high school in Massachusetts. She said she would love to live there again. We both agreed that MA is a nice state. That small state does have a lot, including some world-class universities and nice cities. She is now working for EPIK (English Program in Korea) and says she enjoys it.
On Sunday I went to the COEX Mall and met my friends Brian and Maike. There was a photo show. I saw many nice photographs. Some were artsy, others were of nature, some were confusing or disturbing. I keep an open mind about art, but I still wonder why some things are considered art. We later went for lunch at Uno's. We were joined by a friend of theirs from Hong Kong named Silver. We had a good time.

Hades Welcomes His Bride

While an undergraduate student at Andrews University I took a poetry class. I studied some of A.E. Stallings' poetry. She studied lots of classical poetry and literature of Greece. She does translation of poetry from Greek to English. An interesting thing she said was that when she was at university to study ancient, Greek poetry, she came across some poems that described early springtime flowers such as hyacinths blooming at the same time as later spring flowers. She interpreted that as a "golden age". She was later surprised when visiting the Greek countryside and finding those flowers blooming at the same time . She said that sometimes we do have to take things literally. This poem gave me the chills when I first read it. It is so deep and dark. Hades Welcomes His Bride Come now, child, adjust your eyes, for sight Is here a lesser sense. Here you must learn Directions through your fingertips and feet And map them in your mind. I think some shapes Will gradually

So, I haven't been posting lately. I have been busy working on my Master's Degree in English and a Master's Certificate in Human Rights. I have been enjoying my studies overall. I have been challenged a lot by studying Chaucer this semester (hey, that guy lived six hundred years ago).  I hope to get at least a B in that class. I worked on my degree last summer, taking one class over Summer Session I and two over Summer Session II to get things done and over with.  I got an A and two A- grades.  I have been trying to stay afloat with this semester. I ended up with one late paper for Chaucer due to my factory job I had at the time and time management.  I ended up losing a letter grade, which made me upset. I decided that I have had enough of Facebook. I have been contemplating deleting my account.  I have already deleted my Twitter at least a year ago.  I also don't have Pinterest or Instagram.  I know that I use Facebook too much. I must spend less time there. Yesterda
