School is starting... SOON!!!
Once again, I'm updating like 2 months to update...
Well, school has ended.... which you probably already know. (unless you live under a rock)
I went to Virginia. Where I just chilled at our resort, went on a tour to DC, and went to Virginia Beach. I also went to Busch Gardens in Williamsberg (sp?). There, I rode this ride Griffon, which has a 180 degree drop. It was si~ck!! And I only had to wait 5 minutes because I went on the single person line. And I rode in the front! :D On this ride you go upside down, and you also get wet if you're in the front. Awesome~!
I also went to a mission trip to Korea. :] It was an interesting experience. I'm not too good at speaking Korean so it was kinda hard communicating with the kids, but it became a lot easier as time went on. It was very disorganized and I was supposed to be an assistant, but the teacher that me and the other assistant, David, were supposed to help became sick so for a while we were acting as the teachers. Not everybody came out to morning devotion, and that ... frustrated me. Because then the kids wouldn't come out either, but it was ok. I understood... it was boring, early, and the woman who spoke every morning wasn't exactly exciting. We were supposed to teach kids English, and at the end, one girl admitted to me that the only thing that she learned in the camp was the phrase "best of the best". At least she learned something... *shrug* The praise was really good, and I'm still talking to the kids I met in Korea so that's good. When the kids left, the whole mission team stayed for another two days to go to Seoul and go on a tour. We also stayed at a 5 star hotel, Koreana Hotel, and it was ni~ce! :] And I finally understood after 12 days what a real warm shower felt like.... that was gooood. :D Also, in Korea, [this is useless] I learned how to blow a bubble in a bubble in a bubble. Huzzah!!! lol. And let's not forget all of those fun korean hand games. lol
When I came home, it was that time of year again. Yes, school was going to start soon. That means... tennis preseason. Which when translated, means death to Soojung and the freshmen. :p But this year it's a lot easier. But I'm a little angry [okay... very frustrated] that Coach put me in 6th doubles and not 5th. Grrrrr.... And that e-mail Coach Fritch sent out saying sacrifice... I think everyone on the team sacrifices something for the team. For example, Mandy couldn't go to the US Open because of a tennis scrimmage. [Which I'm not sure if the Coach realizes that me and Anna, my doubles partner, won the match 6:3] And I can't go rafting or help out with the car wash at church because of WHAT? You guessed it... tennis preseason. So that e-mail Coach sent out saying SACRIFICE was totally uncalled for and rude.
On a brighter note, I recently went to Molly's Sweet Sixteen. :] She drove us [8 people] into the city in a totally swee~t limo. :D At the city, we went to Dylan's Candy Store [or is it Shop] and Serendipity's (sp?). It was madd fun. I can't wait until Catherine's Sweet Sixteen.
My sister came back from Korea 2 days ago, but she's already gone again at Lesley's house.
I still didn't finish my summer work, but I'm close to done.
This school year I'm going to get straight A's.... easier said than done.
