Mid-week Update

So, apparently my dad thinks I should update every day! Haha, I would but I feel like I am going to get repetitive in what I say.

Since Monday morning, I've been working at the office. The hours are 9-5 for right now but are probably going to be increasing to 9-9 because it's getting close to the launch of tour. What we are doing right now is just trying to set up screenings around the nation. (SO IF ANYONE KNOWS OF ANY CHURCHES, COMMUNITY GROUPS, ETC INTERESTED IN HOSTING...PAST THAT INFORMATION MY WAY!). I've been working on booking North Carolina and tomorrow I will move on to South Carolina. Booking is not easy...lots of phone calls, lots of e-mails, lots of rejection. It's frustrating because people are just so clueless about what is happening in North Korea so when you begin to explain it to them, they act as though you're lying. But it will all work out, and as soon as more nomads arrive it will be better because we'll have more people working. Also, when the nomads get here we'll start with some training and classes about the North Korean crisis. I'm excited about that because I feel like I will be much better prepared to go on the road and answer people's questions.

As of today, I am officially driving the LiNK van. I am on insurance and I've practiced. Today, Andy, taught me how to parallel park. Not going to lie...it was SO hard. But I think I will get better as I practice more and more. Or...I'll just find huge spots so it's easy for me to get in and out of.

I've spending a lot of time with Kyo. She's here from South Korea to volunteer for a week and a half. She's super nice and only 18. She somehow convinced her parents to let her fly to LA, alone. I love learning about South Korean culture and teaching her about US culture. She was translating something and it talked about a "chill spot" and she asked me why people would choose to go to a cold spot. Ahahahahahaaaa. Tonight she made me Korean food her mom sent her. It was rice, tuna, pork (none for me), seaweed paper, and some kind of leaves. It was all good..loved the seaweed paper wrapped around rice. Also, I watched the Glee Gaga episode with her last night and may have gotten her addicted to Glee. I think we're going to watch another episode tonight.

Overall, things are going really well. I need to find someway to fill my weekend...I have the van so I can go wherever but I dont know what to do in LA, or what's around! I'm a little nervous of driving so hopefully I can find places that are in walking distance. Cant wait for more nomads so we can go out and figure out the area together (mostly I just need someone to get out of the car while I parallel to make sure I dont hit any cars). But ya, all is well. And I'm in love with California weather <3
