2. The school's in-class technology wasn't liking me today, nor was I liking it. After the projector in my first class failed to simply turn on, we pulled a mini class trip and went in search of a spare classroom.
3. In my second classroom for the day the Internet wasn't working and so I had to call up the building's tech-guy yet again today. So frustrating. Not only does Dankook fill my classes to the brim with over 40 students a class but it gives me bogus computers and whatnot to work with... definitely not a perk of the job!
4. Each year I have my new students fill out a "Student Profile" with information about themselves. Phone number, student ID number, major, and stuff like that. At the bottom of the page I asked them to rate their English on a scale of one to ten and then write three sentences about themselves. One of today's students handed me in a mini self-biography... impressive.
5. For the most part, students used their three sentences to write about family, friends, hobbies, and food. There were some sentences however that stuck out for whatever reason and so here are a couple:
* I only have one expression.6. After school I had to do my health check for my visa renewal and I had to do the expected pee-in-a-cup. I had anticipated this and so I drank an excessive amount of water prior to going. Well... my cup overflowth... hahaha.
* I think my face is pretty but my friends don't agree so I am sad.
* My personality is bouncy and extrovert.
* English is an obstacle in my life but the future will not be.
* I have a little big head. The fact that I knew 2 years ago but some people already knew before me.
* I want to grow intimate with you.
* I cannot resist cheesecake.
7. The nurse seriously thought I cheated on my eye exam after Q cracked a joke and so she wrote me down for having 1.5 vision. Thanks but no thanks sweetie... I dropped a load of cash a couple of years back for perfect vision thanks (lasik)... hahaha.
8. Sparring between Milk Dud and Panty Boy Jr. turned bloody.... real bloody, real quickly and ended with a bunch of us having to mop down the ring.
9. Ran into my two favourite floor neighbors at the elevator after boxing tonight, the Friendly Neighbour who always hits me and the fashion designer/photographer (no nickname for him just yet). Despite the Friendly Neighbor's violent hellos to me and her over-the-top cougar ways, I really like her. She's got this certain spunk about her. Q thinks she's well over 40 but I love how she acts like a 20 year old and has a boisterous manner about her. And as for the fashion designer/photographer guy, he's just as interesting. He got this funky hair cut the other day and so he looks like Sonic the Hedgehog now... hmm... I think I just found a great nickname for him, Sonic... hahaha.
10. Frozen grapes... my favourite new snack. Seriously, try it. Wash a bowl of grapes and place them in the freezer. Come back some time later and viola, a strange but tastey snack... I can't resist, hahaha.
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
What's your top priority?

2&3. That happens at my school a lot, but it's BECAUSE we have better technology. New or old, it's a burden.
4. I like telling my teacher who I am, makes me feel less of a random student.
6. Hahaha, I always wondered how girls could make sure to not do that. I guess they can't.
7. I'm confused. So she marked you lower than you were? And you bribed someone last time? I think I'm taking some joke in there too seriously.
10. Do you chew on them or suck on them? I hate fruit ><

Hey Bman,
Ya... technology sometimes bites... hahaha. Sometimes I'm convinced it just complicates our life more.
The pee-in-the-cup was a bit messy but that was only because I hadn't peed for about 4 hours and was dying...lol.
Oh and as for the eye test, I was referring to the fact that I had corrective eye surgery so that I didn't have to wear contacts or glasses anymore. And ya, she marked me lower because what had happened was she asked me to read the last line and then Q started to say something but his sentence started with the letter she was pointing at. I guess me looking at it earlier didn't help either... hahaha. No worries, it's not a big deal. I'll take 1.5 eyes over the minus a trillion I had a couple of years ago.
You hate fruit?! Shame on you... hahaha... and I kind of do both...lol.
