Animals I have lost/saved in Korea

Today I found out that 'Xander, a cat I took out of the shelter last week died this morning. He had a gangrenous infection on his leg and so he died this morning. A few weeks ago I lost Mongmong the puppy because he had water on the brain. Last year I buried two kittens (literally) because they had problems like parasites. It is sad to lose animals. Yet, I should focus on those that I have saved while I have been in Korea:

  1. Nixie, a cat I pet-sat for someone who had to leave Korea.

  2. Jasmine, a lovely calico I bought at the street market. (in a new home)

  3. Suzy, Jasmine's sister whom I also bought at the street market. (in a new home)

  4. Kyocki, a cat whose owner had to return to USA and her family wouldn't let her take Kyocki with her. (in a new home)

  5. Pearly, a Persian with a bladder infection that was in the kill shelter. (in a new home)

  6. Snowy, a Turkish Angora that was in the kill shelter for a few months. He was starting to get renal failure. (in a new home)

  7. Onyx, a Russian Blue in the kill shelter. (in a new home)

  8. Toby, an orange kitten I found near Gangbyeon Station.

  9. Lucky, a tabby kitten from the kill shelter. He had skull fractures that healed and left him with some blindness and deafness, but his hearing and sight have improved.

  10. Pepper, a mutt from the kill shelter. (adopted by someone)

  11. Mr. Bojangles, a shih tzu (adopted by another English teacher)

  12. Nora, a poodle

  13. White poodle now living in Kangnam.

  14. Shabba, a puppy now living in Goyang-si

  15. Max, a maltese now living in the USA

  16. Kkam-ko, a maltese now living in the USA

  17. Alexander, a Yorkshire terrier now living in the USA

  18. Moe-moe, a maltese now living in the USA

  19. Max #2, a maltese now living in the USA

  20. Spike, a bulldog now living in the USA

  21. Ralph the shih tzu

  22. Peanut the yorkie

  23. Mutt now living in Pyongtaek with a U.S. military family

  24. Jack the mutt

  25. Zinnia the kitten

Keep up the good work, but do not let it overwhelm you. Exercise some self-control. If you can, keep the pets at the animal shelter and take cans of food in to feed them. Don't let your room get overrun with animals.

You are doing good.

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
