At The Library!
Oct. 9th, 2025 07:15 pmCurrently sitting in Blue's university's library and WOW, is this place cool! The part I'm in is all old, with wood paneling and a stone arch over the main entryway, and this really high vaulted ceiling. This is freaking INSANE!!
This morning I got the grand campus tour, and this place is so stunning! All the trees are so big and beautiful, and the leaves are starting to turn here. It's so beautiful! Blue also showed me this little garden near his campus and it was also very beautiful.
This afternoon we took some good ol' public transit to go downtown. Not as nice and fancy as the public transit in Korea, but then again, that's hard to achieve. Anyways, we went to this place that had pork katsu sandwiches, and mine was really quite good! Although I don't think it's the one I'd order were I to go back there. Anyways, afterwards we went to this INSANELY cool bookstore (have I used the word insane too much in this post?) and... I may or may not have spent $90 on books! I got an Elizabeth Gaskell book, this really interesting book that's a novel framed as a memoir of Queen Victoria, a book to learn Korean that includes clips from some K-drama actor, and a few others! Afterwards we trekked to this cute little shaved ice place where we had a really good mango shaved ice.
We came back afterwards, and since then---except for a dinner break where i met one of Blue's college friends and had some very good ravioli---I've been sitting in the library! I've listened to my iPod, surfed Wikipedia a little bit, e-mailed some and now blogged here. :) Now I'm going to go workshop a little idea I had on the plane ride for a short story for my creative writing class! Toodles!
