South Korea Conference Call

So, luckily today I got off of work a little early. Nsli had a conference call to give us some information about our trip! But it was 4pm EST.... which is three central time! So I got off of work at 2:45 and rushed to take a shower and Estrella (my doggy) a bath! My phone was completely uncharged so I charged it and entered the conference call at 3:05. So if you're wondering what a conference call is let me tell you. It's a phone conference. You call, and get an access code you punch into your phone and you are automatically added onto the phone line on which the conference phone conversation is being held on. So it's kind of like 3 way except with alot more lines!

Somethings I learned about our trip:
- We will be going (or planning to) to California for our orientation on the 25th from our home city. The Summer, semester, and year long Korean students will meet eachother and 20 of the China students too! We will have a 1 1/2 day orientation (max) and then land in South Korea sometime on the 28th of June. The Summer language program will end August 14th.
- We all will receive cellphones (prepaid ones with a minimum amount of minutes, but it's still a nice cellphone to communicate!) and monthly stipends for like extra transportation money and food, etc.
- Semester and Year long students are (hopefully) going to have a high school students in their family which they will attend school with. This is actually smart, because it gives us someone to know at school, talk to, and hang out on the weekends. The students will also meet monthly for like cultural fun activities. (I will totally love this!)
- We won't be able to use our laptops during the summer program (I don't even want to take mines! haha It's a drag to carry it around, so this gives me a reason not to even bother bringing it.) So i'm wondering how updated this blog will be during the summer! ahh! I want to update atleast once a week! I wish I could do everyday! (maybe I should bring my laptop...)
- We will be receiving information about our host families and program more during the next couple of weeks and I believe a definite date by the end of this upcoming week? I will keep everyone notified!
