Celebrating America in Korea wasn't too bad. Sure, I missed being with my family and friends, watching the parades and fireworks, and the FOOD! Oh... the food.
But during school, many of my foreign coworkers were playing songs like "God Bless America" and "I'm Proud to be an American", etc. Ahh, my heart was so happy. Later on that evening, Brittney, Ali, and I went to Baby Guinness and had some amazing food and beer. Baby Guinness is an Irish Pub in the middle of Dongtan and is a fun place to go when you want to run into a lot of crazy foreigners.
After dinner, we decided to use up some old fireworks we had leftover from Busan. We got on top of the SLP roof and fired them off. Sadly, our sparkers didn't work, but the bottle rockets did... mmm, for the most part. Unfortunately one decided to misfire on Brittney while she was holding it. It turned out to look a little something like this... I couldn't stop laughing... I'm a pretty bad friend I guess :)
Also, I love how much Koreans utilize their roofs here. Ours is mostly used for drying laundry and having parties on. I just love the view!
This past Saturday, I got my second top wisdom tooth out, cleaning, and gingivectomy done. Luckily, I had a friend with me this time for a little extra comfort. The cleaning felt really great (actually better than what I've experienced in the states) and the gingivectomy wasn't bad either, but oh dear goodness... that wisdom tooth was a doozey. I had a mask over my eyes this time, but I could tell things weren't going too well when it was taking forever and you could hear the murmurs of chatter above you. I only let out one tear in the chair and didn't cry the whole way home, I was so proud of myself (and Justin said I should be proud after how completely barbaric the whole procedure was!). And now I'm done! DONE, DONE, DONE! Praise Jesus!
