End of the Year

I have been a little neglectful of this blog recently so here are a several pictures from the past autumn and early winter. A nice way to close out 2009...

Hiking

One saturday morning a few of us went hiking. It was a fun time and took most of the day. This was a good time of year to go, the leaves on the trees have been changing colors and were quite beautiful.

Long Weekend

We had a long holiday weekend. Luckily it was nice weather and we took the opportunity to have a picnic and do a little hike. At the end of the trail was a cool looking tomb, where a King's father and cow were buried.

Campus

I'm teaching at a University in the mountains of South Korea. Its an expansion campus of the main university and they are still finishing construction on a few parts. Its a beautiful place and the semester has barely started. Here are some pics of the campus.

Grad School

This is my favorite photo of the year. It sums up the good times and fun experiences I've been a part of during my time in England. Although graduate school is invaluable for me, it is times like these that make life worthwhile. My classmates and I sharing a laugh...
