Highlights of my Day... Tuesday, October 6

1. Today was my day off but certainly not my day off work in that I spent a good chunk of my day off, like I do every week, planning and making my lecture Power Point files.

2. Indulged in a late wake up on account that I knew I’d be slaving away at PPTs and so I headed into weight training around 10am. My long-time Korean buddy Woo was there. Turns out our mutual friend, Mr. Park, will soon be returning to Korea. I first met Mr. Park when I trained with Woo at the gym out in Ssangyong-Dong but about a year ago or so he and his wife moved to the States for him to further pursue his body-building career. Turns out his career is going a lot more successful than he had originally anticipated and so he’s planning to stay there for awhile.

3. Being poked in the rib cage by Hongik Oppa wasn’t exactly what I had expected when killing myself on the treadmill. Mind ya, the beautiful smell of cologne that came with him made up for it, as it killed the smell of sweat mixed with bad morning breath the dude beside me so proudly was sporting.

4. Am convinced that if half the people at the gym talked half as much as they did then they’d be half the size they are. Today the gym was flooded with chatting ajjumas (older Korean women) who all seemed so happy to linger around the equipment and then try to get cheap feels of me. I don’t care that they talk, that’s ok, but it’s when they insist on sitting on the machines for way too long and then think it’s ok to try to touch me when I ask if I can use the machine. What’s up with the gym ajjumas and their wondering hands anyways?!!!

5. Back to slaving away at my Power Point lecture files for the duration of the afternoon.

6. At boxing I took a mean kick to the head when Junior Mint’s shoe suddenly slipped off. Off flew the shoe and up flew his leg. My head couldn’t have been in a worst spot… dang.

7. Spent my evening at the hospital where I lounged around in Snickers room. Am being to think that they should be charging me rent here. I’m there every single day. Sometimes I there twice a day.

8. Am itching for Snickers to leave the hospital, not because it’s costing me an arm and a leg to commute here but because it’s eating up my time and I can’t do anything else. Everything else has been put on hold and with student midterms just around the corner, quizzes waiting to be marked and other marking piling up, him being in the hospital is certainly taking its’ toll on me. I eat, sleep, train, work, and then go to the hospital. I haven’t been able to even scrounge up the energy to sit at my computer to do my homepage, or even respond to my homepage comments for that matter (which I totally apologize for).

9. Returned home late, late in the evening. It was coming up to midnight, I was super exhausted, and I had to be up by 5:40 the next morning for weight training.

10. Mind ya, regardless of how already-in-the-sack I mentally was, I found a secret stash of energy and watched “The Biggest Loser”. I am seriously addicted to that show! Ken on the red team was my favorite but he got the boot yesterday. Snickers and I both can’t stand Kai on the red team – “She so stress me give!” Snickers always says.

QUESTION OF THE DAY...
Who are you cheering for on "The Biggest Loser"?
