It’s very late for me to write Happy New Year here, so I’ll alter my words and say Happy Chinese New Year–which was this past Monday! Surprisingly enough, Koreans do celebrate Chinese New Year . But putting the date (whether it is the Western New Year, Chinese New Year) aside, I wish everyone, including myself, to have the best 2009 not only in education, but mostly in building into an ethical and yet joyful person as a whole.

Back to school and beside from all the fun that I had over the winter, it was time for me to return to my new home. There were huge differences when I returned to Loyola this term compared to the fall semester. There no longer was any anxiety for me to come back. No longer worried about what I needed to do to adjust my lifestyle to the one I had back in New York.
