I discovered a new enjoyment of soccer(football). At the World Cup Stadium, watching a game is great fun. Even if the game itself isn't that exciting, the fans more than make up for it. Sitting in the stadium, eating corndogs, chips, ice cream, and drinking a bottle of pop or a beer makes for some of the most fun I've had since I've gotten here. Mostly, it's just the atmosphere, I guess.

my new awesomely awesome camera!














yeah, so that's me (obviously).















the yumminess that we ate at hooters.














hooters! yay! the girls there don't really have boobs though...so it's kinda like the whole place is missing the point.














my bestest friend! she went with me to buy my new camera, then she and i went to hooters.


so the camera i got is an olympus pen e-pl2, and i'm uber excited about it. considering it's my first camera in probably over 7 years, "excited" is probably an understatement. i really hope that with this new, bright, and shiny camera i will blog more. not going to hold my breath, but a girl can hope, yeah?

pros and cons of staying another year:

pros...
1. more money saved (bills, a car for when i get back)
2. i wouldn't be in oklahoma
3. i would get to stay with the kids i love
4. i would have a job, which is something i can't guarantee when i get back
5. i like how i can go to stores which would take me over an hour to get to back home and here, they aren't that far away

cons...
1. i'm homesick, even though i hate oklahoma
2. shopping for my size is easier at home
3. i would have to be around the kids i have trouble with
4. i miss my puppy
5. i dislike not being able to get in my car and just start driving
6.i hate not understanding stuff that is being said around me (i know, i could learn korean, but that could take YEARS)
7. i hate the city. i miss how nature, even a backyard, was never far away in oklahoma
8. i'm lonely. like "i can feel it in my bones" kind of lonely


so? any suggestions? i know what i'll probably do, but any input would be appreciated.
