2. Swung around in my chair and asked them how, in such a busy school week, can they find the free time to play games at work, when here I am coming in early, leaving late, and sweating over my marking. Well, unlike me, they've been at the university for quite some years and know the tricks of the trade. It definitely would have been nice if they had past on some words of the wise to me. Instead, and I know they didn't do this intentionally, I've been struggling on my own trying to solve my own answers.
3. I really didn't need to walk into midterm interviews all stressed and so when Pretty Boy and his friend surprised me at school and treated me to lunch, I was SO happy. He's awesome and he was EXACTLY what I needed today!
4. After another hour of testing, I had a break and so I called up Hannah and took her downtown to do some window shopping and for ice cream. I had more testing to do and so we rushed back in a taxi... driven by some crazy driver! I'm serious. He was NOT normal!
5. Hip-hip, hooray! Hip-hip, hooray! Hip-hip, hooray! Three loud cheers for midterm finish day!!! FINALLY finished doing my midterm interviews at the university. It's been a very, very long week and I'
m exhausted. But, I guess it wasn't that bad. I mean, I did get a lot of banana milk, lollipops, chocolates, juices, and "I love you"s from students.6. The last student I tested was an older student in my evening class who's English is quite high. We stayed behind after class chatting and he joked to me saying that he doesn't view me as a foreign girl. And you know what, I think so too. I mean, whenever I walk down the street with my friends and I spot a foreigner, I always nudge them and say, "Look.. foreign person!" I know I'm a foreigner in that I'm not Korean but I feel quite at home with my fellow Koreans.
7. Celebrated the ending of midterms with Pretty Boy at Mainz. I love that restaurant and apparently one of the waitresses loves me coming there too...hehehe. Like before, she sent over a full plate of massive mushrooms for us to chow down on. Cool, thanks!
8. After eating way too much meat and totally enjoying the accompaniment of Pretty Boy at the restaurant, I came home totally pumped and full of energy. Called up Hannah and told her to wake up... we're going out! She had been sleeping but, and this is where being in Korea is awesome, I'm her senior and so I guess she felt she couldn't really say no.
9. While I was waiting for Hannah to wake up and head out, I got chatting with my good friend Errol on msn. I miss that guy. He's a great friend and an awesome person. I was way too hyper to focus on our conversation and so instead I turned on the mic and video cam and turned my office into a mix between a virtual singing room and a fashion show... starring old school beats and my numerous sun glasses... hehehe.
10. Headed to MBar for a bit and then Hannah suggested we go to Club Sizzi. Besides one white dude, who couldn't really dance (hehehe), I was the only foreigner and so it got us a lot of attention. Hannah's a great girl and we had a lot of fun busting a move on the speakers. One of the DJs was loving us too and so he gave us plenty of shout outs.
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
Can you dance?
