Highlights of my Day... Monday, April 30

1. Woke up totally knowing that I must have spent most of the night rubbing the heck out of my eyes…..ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! Itchy eyes go away pleeeeeeeeeese!
2. Pretty Boy dropped by. We were going to go to the bank and out for lunch together. But, before we headed out, I stopped and looked at him; I felt so happy. Yesterday was intense between us but because I saw this whole sensitive side of him, I trust him now. I wanted to explain this to him but I didn’t know how to and so I just wrapped my arms around him and squeezed him tightly. He’s so beautiful to me.
3. Pretty Boy carried my large stack of student workbooks into the office and so instantly he became the talk of the office. I can’t say I wasn’t loving it though. The assistants (Koreans) were all curiously watching him and so when he left, they had tons of questions for me. Yes… I love Pretty Boy!!!
4. Started handing back student midterm evaluations regarding their interviews and after class one student stayed behind to argue his mark. He got 93%, go figure!
5. I’m assuming my co-worker was having a bit of a bad day when I asked a simple question and he freaked out on my head. Today his little son and his son’s 2 friends came into the office, all speaking English. So, I asked him, “Does your son speak Korean?” My co-worker is American and I know his wife is Korean but I was hesitant to assume his son spoke Korean because he came in with 2 Korean friends and they all were speaking fluent English. I know some Americans at Osan Air Force base who’ve married Korean but their kids go to an all-English school. Anyway, he had a bit of spaz on me and called me discriminative, which was totally uncalled for. I thought my question wasn’t rude. Hey… I’m Polish but you don’t hear me speaking fluent Polish. I know more Korean than Polish.
6. I can somewhat understand where he’s coming from because last year I use to get a lot of silly questions regarding my ex and I. People use to always ask me how I communicate with him cause he’s Korean, I always thought that was kind of a retarded question.
7. Ten minutes later, things had cooled down, we both apologized for the misunderstanding and so things were back to being cool again. Don’t get me wrong, I do really respect my co-worker but the irony was that he was being the very thing he was accusing me of, discriminative.
8. Chatted up a storm with one of my friends on msn. She thought it’d be funny to play a little game of “Truth or Lie”. The object of the game was to guess the other person’s lie among a list of truths. Here’s my list, see if you can spot my lies.

FIVE TRUTHS, TWO LIES (in no particular order):
a. I use to be a model.
b. I can speak four languages.
c. I have a tattoo on my neck.
d. I once was stabbed.
e. I’ve read the entire Bible.
f. I am a known TV celebrity in Canada.
g. I drink about a liter of milk a day.

9. Worked late into the evening marking more midterms and workbooks. I felt like I was reliving my university days when I use to stay late at the library and then wait outside for the bus. I remember looking up at the darkened campus housing windows and envying them for being able to sleep while I was stressing over whatever essay or report I was sweating over and standing outside alone at the bus stop. What I wouldn’t give to have my father walk in the room and ask me, “How’s it going?” or for my mom to call out for me and invite me to the table for coffee.
10. Poor Mi Nam’s eyes were bloodshot from staying up so late with me. He tried to sleep but, like always, with every movement I make, he wakes up to curiously investigate what I’m doing or to follow me around the room.
