1. With school starting up next Monday, today I had to go to the university for a staff meeting. Met some of the new professors, chatted with the old, caught up with some of a few of them, and then headed back out the door.
2. Got my new teaching schedule… and it is sweeeeeeeeeeet!!!
Mon./Tues./Thurs. = 9:20am – 1pm (2 classes)
Wednesday = 9:20am – 5pm (3 classes + 2 office hours)
Friday = DAY OFF!!!
3. In anticipation of school starting up, today Q and I headed over to Kyobo Books to stock up on school supplies, apparently so did the rest of Cheonan! The place was packed with students and I couldn’t help but think, “I wonder how many of these kids will be my students?!”
4. Q bought us Adidas couple bags… hehehe, so cute! We checked out the local Adidas shop and I spotted a wicked white Adidas leather gym bag. There was a matching black one and so, totally unexpectedly, Q told the sales girl that we’d take them. What?! I was shocked. This was the first time I had seen Q spend a chunk of money like this… they definitely weren’t cheap bags. So now we have couple bags… hehehe.
5. Oh my gosh, I definitely have to cut down on the amount of kimchi I’ve been eating!!! This is nasty to say but kimchi to my body is like beans to most people… deadly!!!
6. At boxing tonight Junior Mint kept on complaining about the smell in the room. I didn’t have the nerve to tell him that it was me… hehehe… and so I told him that Canadian girls don’t have gas… hehehe. Not too sure on if he believed me or not but it allowed me to direct the blame in Q’s direction… hehehe.
7. It never fails to be an extra hard workout when Q’s at boxing with me, throw in the fact that two girls came by to check out the club and it meant I totally got drilled tonight!!! Q says Junior Mint drills me extra hard when others are watching because he’s proud of me. Regardless, going 4 rounds NON-STOP on pad work meant that for TEN straight gruelling minutes I am yelled at, pushed around, and worked out to the point that I am completely dripping with sweat, left with numb fists, arms feeling like they weigh a couple of tons, and feeling dizzy.
8. A friend of mine showed up at boxing tonight. Most of the guys don’t like him, they think he’s annoying. I don’t mind him but yes, him constantly yelling out “I love Amy” and making the notorious heart-shape sign with his hands is kind of uncalled for. Never the less, tonight I ended up having to tell some of the younger amateur boxers to leave him alone after they repeatedly called him “byoungshin” (a very rude word that is similar to “retard” but with a much more negative feeling).
9. What most people don’t know about this guy, my friend at boxing, is that he suffers from a really serious and unfortunate situation called “punk drunk”. He’s a young guy, probably no older than me but back when he use to have boxing matches, he got injured but his coach at the time totally disregarded his injuries and scheduled him back-to-back fights. The end result: his coordination is totally off, meaning that he struggles with simple tasks like skipping.
10. After boxing Q and I headed over to Lotte Super to pick up some groceries and viola… they have chicken, finally! I had ventured away from Q and that’s when the chicken dude approached me. He took me by the wrist and brought me to a big stack of chicken in the corner of the shop. I filled my basket with chicken, walked away and then looked back to catch a wink from him… hehehe.
