I have been busy with exams and had a hard time keeping up with posting this week.. It happens every semester around this time. Most of my students seem to think that I am busy during exams, but it is actually the week before that is busiest for me as I have to get everything prepared.  But I am catching up on many things today and may even have time to watch one of my new DVDs that came this week– (I received Dancing Cat, REC, Children of Darkness, Byeongtae and Yeongja and Spellbound)

This coming week, we have two Korean films being released onto DVD, the omnibus First Love Stories and the documentary Never Say I Can’t.
