Today I got home around 1am from the Friends Club party and it was so much fun and I was kind of sad that I needed to leave early. I met so many great people, Koreans and exchange students, and I'm really looking forward to the Friends Club events every Thursday. Besides going out for drinks every Thursday evenings, the Friends Club is hosting many activities. In two weekends they are taking a trip to Everland (Korean version of Disney World that sounds hilarious when they try to pronounce the "L"). It will be a two-day park pass trip and an overnight stay at a hostel just outside of Seoul for only 42,000won which is a great deal. I don't really care about going to Everland but I'm thinking of just going to be with everyone and hang out. Many of the people in Friends Club have studied abroad, and many to America. This one guy who's English name is Bobby is a DJ and he loves baseball so we are already planning to go to some games and go to some clubs where he knows other DJ's afterwards. Friends Club is also having their own Cherry Blossom Festival in April, going bowling, traditional dinner night, going to the horse races, dance party, and more events. It should be really cool! Last night I was one of the first people to leave and everyone else got home around 5am. This morning I woke up at 8 for baseball practice at 9. It was really nice and fairly warm weather. Practice was really fun but tiring! We did every sort of drill, running, batting and fielding practice, everything from 9am-1pm. Afterwards I was sore and exhausted but the guys were all really nice and I think they like me being there, too. After practice the guys even invited me to have lunch with them which made me feel great. We went to the team's clubhouse and ordered some Chinese delivery and just talked and ate while watching some soccer on tv. Their next game is tomorrow but since I don't have a glove or uniform yet I won't be playing. Right now I am just borrowing a glove but I really need to get my own if I want to keep playing. After I left the group, today has just been a relax at home/laundry afternoon. Tonight I'm not sure what I will do, some people are going to Seoul to celebrate St. Patrick's day early. Tomorrow afternoon I will go to my first soccer game here. The Suwon Bluewings' stadium (which was used for the world cup) is literally the address right next to the university. Tomorrow is a home game in the afternoon and I can't wait to go with some of the guys from AGA. Anyways, that's my update.

I used to be in baseball team in Yonsei as a manager! Does your team have a manager too?
