Highlights of my Day... Friday, April 20

1. Started my day off with an extra strength dose of advice from Ki Dong. He took me outside to talk. He knows somewhat about my "guy situation" and he loves playing the devil's advocate. Ki Dong, along with my co-worker Peter, both seem to get a good kick out of me complaining about guys, and they're right... you can't win with me. I complain that I can't meet a nice guy and then when I do meet a nice guy, I'm quick to complain that they won't leave me alone... ㅋㅋㅋ
2. Am convinced what I need is a good kick in the butt and for my father to tell me to smarten up. Lately I've been acting like a school girl and been all "googly-eyed" over this one particular guy. I need to snap out of this. Playing the role of the girl with her head in the clouds is definitely not me. I'm a realist.
3. With the big midterm being next week, students today were full of questions for me. They called the office, tracked me down on campus, emailed me, and even followed me into the hall after class. They all were so eager to get the inside scoop.
4. Today I definitely had "groupies"... ha, ha, ha. I thought it was pretty funny but in my evening class today it was different. There's this particular guy in my class. He doesn't really care about English, nor does he really try. After class though he was all up in my face, asking me a million and one questions. I know it doesn't seem like a big deal but I felt so proud to see his changed attitude.
5. Had quite an interesting chat with one of my students as he walked me to my bus stop. We had started talking about relationships. I had posed a hypothetical situation to him (which, in reality, I was talking about my own situation) and in telling him the story, I realized how simple the answer really was. This isn't a relationship... this is a game. It's a retarded game that I shouldn't have got myself involved in but, for various reasons, I can't help but continue. I'm hooked to Mystery Man but it's wrong... Correction, he's not wrong, I'm not wrong, we're not wrong,... but, how we're handling this IS wrong.
6. I wish Jeong Lip was back in Korea.
7. Hot water is back on in my house and so I celebrated with a super long shower! One super chilly shower was enough for me. Ahhhh.... hot water, I missed you so much! ㅋㅋㅋ
8. Tonight consisted of a mini dinner party for two. We had chicken for the main course and for dessert we shared one big juicy new secret. In forcing me to keep HIS secret, I've now turning into the very person I don't like... a lier. I haven't been put into the situation yet where things have been questioned... but I WILL be questioned sooner or later.
9. Nasty... the chicken delivery boy brought me two chicken NECKS along with the usual chicken breasts and chicken legs. At first I thought it was just a piece of a leg but then Mystery Man told me what it really was. Yikes... they really don't like to waste anything in Korea! Nasty!
10. After having to deal with these random secrets, it was refreshing to have a secret revealed. Recently I've been getting random comments on my homepage from "Jennifer's Friend, 5"... tonight he emailed me and revealed his identity. Thanks!

QUESTION OF THE DAY...
How can you call yourself his friend?
