저는 장소영 입니다

My name is 장소영 (Jang So Yeong). My name is also Karen. I'm learning Korean, but I'm starting to feel like I have a split personality. Maybe this will go away after I start to feel more comfortable with the Korean language and culture. But right now...I feel like I'm two separate people who haven't met yet.

There's something missing...a link of sorts that will connect the two together. I can't quite put my finger on it yet...For now...call me Karen or 소영...I'll try to answer to both. ^^

The Greatest Love - Korean Drama



I'm in love with a new drama called The Greatest Love. So Cute! The plot revolves around this A-list actor who likes a B-list actress...the B-list actress is on a couple making show with a doctor who likes her...and it's just all confusing. The couple making show's host also has it in for the B-list actress over something that happened between them a long time ago when they were in a band together. So much drama!

Now that I have a language partner who wants to do more than converse in English, I have found myself taking a look at my bookshelf to see what kinds of topics we could discuss.

What a random assortment of things! I have Fantasy books, classics, business books, books about ethics and philosophy, inspirational stories and autobiographies...comic books...how can you not have some Far Side and Calvin & Hobbes in your library?

I remember someone telling me once, that they hope to have a book collection like mine one day. I don't think mine's very unique...I'm sure everyone who has a library has a random assortment of things. These are all books I've acquired in college or taken from my parents when I finally moved all of my stuff out of their house.

I have some very fond memories when I look back at my library. *sigh* good times. I should read more often now...
