First Week of Training

I can't believe we just finished our first week of the academy. It has been a blast. Each morning I ride the sparkling clean, air-conditioned subway to the rehersal space, where I'm greeted with a warm, excited, hello (Step)(a)(nee)!!! I can't wait to get there and see all of my chingudel ( friends). We've been working on memorizing different plays, songs, and have learned 3 dances. One of my favorite moments of the week was when we split into two groups and sang Grasslands from the Lion King accapella. Today ( Saturday) was a short day, ending at 6 and we went out to dinner together. I ordered samgyetang, soup with an entire chicken, rice, and ginseng. However, my Korean friends also ordered Bosintang, a soup made out of primarily dog meat. Believe it or not, I actually liked Bosintang better. I loved the flavor, although the texture of the meat was a little rubbery. It is suppose to be good for your health. :)
