I had a relaxing day—the big action was to meet Tommy
(a UCLA grad friend) for coffee as he was visiting Seoul. Otherwise I worked on
my computer all day.

I didn't do much on Sunday except work on the
computer, but I went to 정회정 Jung Hoijung's favorite coffee shop near her house
and we worked there.

At Dankook University today we had a good class. I
decided to just lecture (no PPT) based off a section of the background
(discussing heritage protection systems) of my dissertation- then students led
a short discussion of the articles and we practiced 봉산탈춤 Bongsan Talchum. I went straight from class to 선릉
Seolleung where I met Jisoo. We had dinner and she walked me to the training
center where I had Bongsan Talchum class. Today class was awesome AGAIN.
I will miss practicing Bongsan Talchum more than almost anything when I
get back to LA. First it was awesome because again we had a large number of
people- 18- including two brand new people. We did the 8 dark-faced monks as
solo dances, and I did the 3rd monk as usual and I made NO MISTAKES
in my dance or in the monologue, a day I have been waiting and waiting for.
Yes! I felt like I had vanquished a personal mountain, but many of the long
term friends in the class knew how I felt about it and were happy for me. We
have a college student in class and his mom is also attending (she's really
sweet) and she invited us ALL out after class. We went to a restaurant and
everyone (except me) had beer and various meaty dishes. The energy amongst
everyone was just terrific.
