Cows & More

My Chinese and Korean suite-mates just semi-disturbed me. They knocked on my door and asked me to come outside and witness something. Gordon, the Chinese one, pointed to a take-away box which had curly and slimy yet garnished food in it, and said, “Try it.”

“What is it?”

“It’s a cow’s stomach and intestine, deliciously savored with garlic sauce.”

Gordon and Chol laughed at my reaction, and I laughed back. My religion condemns such actions but their religion almost embraces it. Personally, I really don’t care. The only thing I cared about was the ghastly odor that the cow’s intestine left behind. Currently, the addressed food sits in the fridge, waiting to be devoured and shut out from contaminating our suite…

I haven’t blogged in quite a bit. It’s not that I am blogstipated, in fact I have tons to say, it’s just that I have been hit by time constraints – majorly. In a nutshell, October of ’07 sets out to be the most dramatic and eventful month of my life, and I write that with no exaggeration. From gravitational and traumatic falls to the “biggest cultural event”, October might not have had it all, but it did have quite a large chunk of it all.

I wonder if I will be able to write it all out.
Next month, maybe.

P.S. Recently, Austin, Texas experienced a 40⁰F in temperature in a single day. Oh and my suite-mates are awesome . Also, I can assure you that our suite is by far the most culturally and educationally diverse – 1 Korean, 1 American, 1 Chinese and 1 Indian.
