CCB Wins Third!!
Before I rap up Seoul or get into the holiday here is some great news! I have mentioned this to some of you already but in case you haven't heard I came in third for the WashU photo contest! Here is the link!
http://www.wustl.edu/washufocus/index.html
The contest was intended to find the photos that best embody the "WashU experience." So photos of students and life around WashU were encouraged, so some of the winners may look cheesy.
The photo I submitted is a self-timer shot from our trip to the Great Wall in China. For winners they professionally print out and frame a 24"x36" and exhibit it in the student center before giving it to the winner. I'm pretty excited!

Longest Day of My life
On Monday I experienced the longest day of my life. 38 hours total.
It started with the ending of my last Sam-cha in Korea. Sam-cha is a term used to describe 3rd round, usually third rounds have significance when going out in Korea. They mean something more than just a night out being that it was my last night in Korea I believe it qualified as a Sam-cha. The first rounds were fried chicken and Korean BBQ.
By 9 AM I was up packing and soon on my way to the airport, I then landed by8 AM after an epic ten hour flight. I was crammed into a window seat with my sweatshirt, jacket and one of my carry on bags but couldn't have been happier that all my junk was with me and venturing back home.
When I landed at SFO after a 10 Hour or -7 hour flight depending how you look at it. I was fortunate enough to be reacquainted with a friend of mine. Alyssa is one of my great friends from Hobart who volunteered to pick me up from the Airport and take me around. She commented; "You always just randomly pop up on me in California." Which is quite true but great because we always enjoy our time together. So after a walk around the park and a stare at the ocean we went to In-N-Out Burger before returning me to SFO for the final leg of my journey. It was great to see her.
After another 5 hour jaunt in the air I eventually made it home to New York in the comfort of my family its great to see them. I miss Seoul indeed, but its hard to not be excited at home with Christmas, New Years, and all my family.

Beginning of the end
The weather is cloudy and rainy two of my great roommates have departed and the studio is emptying a little bit each day. I don't want to leave quite yet but this bittersweet-ness is getting a bit tense. So with that noted, I am looking forward to my final "rentre à la maison."
I have met quite the amount of great Korean individuals. And architects of many kind. When you experience things in life you tend to be pulled in certain directions. Those directions ultimately determining your path; path of life. It is really interesting right now for me, considering how much in the future Korea can, and will influence my path.
