Michele - German fashion model

As it was Friday I tried to stay home. I put borders on one of my purple quilts and watched a Fons and Porter DVD someone lent me. I also watched a DVD titled "The Future of Food". Mostly it was about the history of genetically modified crops and the companies that make them. Kinda made you want to grow your own food because they aren't labeled in the supermarket. On the other hand, the seeds you buy might be genetically modified anyway. G M crops cross-pollinate with regular crops, contaminating them. Then the company, Montesanto, sues the farmers for having G M plants on their farms. (Montesanto owns the patent) I was terribly upset. Then I took a shower and met Chris at the gate. We drove to the DHL to get won and take a taxi to Yonsei. The Korean cab driver spoke English with a French accent. He is an anthropologist, caring for his elderly mother until he can go back to Madagascar to live with his family. He drove us to New Millenium Hall. We got there early and Michele told us to come back later. So we walked around each floor of the building until 5:45. Then we went back to the auditorium to sit. First there was a talent contest. All were good. Then there was a fashion show, where college students dressed in costumes from many different countries. Michele was asked to represent Germany because she was the only blonde. It went long, and then we stood around talking to her professors and friends. So although we had planned to go out to eat afterwards, we just went home. Well, we walked across campus, down to a department store, through the basement into the subway, then up and out and around the corner to a bus stop. And the bus was right there so we got on. It was an uneventful ride. Then we walked home from there. Michele seemed surprised that after all that walking, Chris and I took the stairs up to our apartment. We had some nibbles then went to bed.
