Monday, August 1

For my second day of adventure I went 40 minutes on the subway to COEX Mall... there, I bought shoes and gifts. I bought a book full of selected poems by Emily Dickinson... my english teachers would have been proud. And for dinner I bought a roll of kimbap and I went and got myself some "fruit yogurt." Now I'm home and I just took a nap and I'm about to meet a friend. That's all folks.

Success is counted sweetest
By those who ne'er succeed.
To comprehend a nectar
Requires sorest need.

Not one of all the purple host
Who took the flag to-day
Can tell the definition,
So clear, of victory,

As he, defeated, dying,
On whose forbidden ear
The distant strains of triumph
Break, agonized and clear.
