So today I realized I love myself. I love who God created me. We went and tried on makeup at some store, and you know how my eyes are gorgeous after I put eye make up on? (Well, they are.) And my the girl friends I was with kept complementing me. And I realized then, that I don't want to be Korean. I just want to be a white person who really likes Korea, speaks Korean, and knows a lot about it. Which is probably really healthy cause thats all I can really ever be. No more resenting who God created me as. What a warm fuzzy day for me.
So in Korea, weird things are separated by sex. There are separate boys and girls laundry rooms in my building. I was watching these flag dancers/ cheer leaders rehearse today, and even though they were learning the same exact thing, they were broken into guys and girls (and this is college). Also, in the library there are guys and girls lounges, which would make sense if there were bunk beds or something for naps, but its really just a couple of benches and a vending machine. None of these things are wrong bad or inconvenient, just from an American perspective, unnecessary.
And on that note, does anyone have opinions on blog ediquitte and writing about gender specific issues? I find my self often thinking about posting things that I would tell Flo or Jo (or any girl really) in a heart beat, but might be embarrassed if I guy overheard. To me that means I shouldn't blog about it. Any differing opinions?

i'm sure you couldn't say anything that would shock me, katy, but blogging etiquette says that you shouldn't post that stuff on a public blog, or at least without any warning.
yeah i kno what you mean.. i wanted to post about a period incident but knowing that i have guy readers, i didn't haha. i wish blogspot had an option where i could check off a button for only girls to read for certain posts.
i hope you are praying and playing hard :)
also, for the sake of nostalgia and bc if i ask, it might prompt you to do it, if you didn't:
"did you do your quiet time today?" :)
katy, i love you for who you are too :] i think if you were korean, youd be a totally different person, but im glad God made you kathryn ruth mcfadden haha
umm i never really thougth about blogging etiquette.. lol but i guess, if there are things that you wouldnt say in front of other ppl [other then florence me and i guess tuttle], then ... write about it, and shoot us an email :] haha and then post about how you did, and then what you did during your day
oh man im excited for next month katy ;]
