i've been appreciating autumn so much more here in seoul. my campus here is really lovely, and the temperature has been fairly warm during the day, not so cold at night. it's difficult for me to put into words how incredible the color change is in the trees... the reds are REALLY red, the golds are REALLY gold, etc (worst description of anything... EVER). it looks like someone colored each leaf with crayola markers. every morning when i take my 30 second walk to class, all i have to do is turn my head slightly to the right, and i can see all these stunning trees set against the mountains. i can't imagine a better view to wake up to each morning.

not to say that fall in wisco isn't beautiful... but there's just something really mesmerizing about being in a foreign country and witnessing the seasons change.

tomorrow is peppero day in korea. peppero is a company that makes these long, thin cookies dipped in chocolate... apparently, when this 'holiday' first started, you were supposed to give peppero to your boyfriend/girlfriend, but now it's just a day where you give and recieve it from your friends... it's kind of like valentine's day, only the peppero company basically declared it as their own. i guess if hershey's declared a 'hershey's day,' it would kind of be like this. valentine's is already pretty much hershey's day anyway.

more later as i'm still half asleep from the nap i just woke up from...
