Highlights of my Day... Wednesday, March 11

1. My reading classes have been quite productive and so that’s awesome. I had my doubts when I first was told I’d be teaching reading but now it’s turning out to be a very interesting class… cool.

2. One of my classes went from an enrollment of 25 students to 39 students… yikes!

3. Got my hands on a copy of Office Enterprise 2007… thanks to a certain “you didn’t get it from me” buddy, sweet.

4. That dang devil dog has returned and I seriously was an inch away from handing it a handful of grapes!!!

5. Took a brutal pad to the side of my head tonight at training... more than once. You’d think by “pad” it’d be soft, ya right. I laughed it off but spent the rest of training trying to ignoring the throbbing headache that was trying to take over my concentration.

6. Tried to convince Junior Mint that Polish girls don’t toot… hahaha. This all came about after he nearly knocked me out with one of the pad’s to the side of my head and then his second attempt at knocking me out by accidentally letting one rip. It was super nasty which is so strange because it seems so natural to laugh when these things happy. Nothing is really funny about chocking on the tainted air while training… but I always laugh.

7. I did one of those “I’m dying” overly dramatic and super played-out scenes for all to watch. Q stood at the ring side while I dropped to the floor, grasped my neck and pretending to be choking to death. I admit, it was a bit much but they all thought it was funny. “It’s natural” Junior Mint told me, in reference to his toot, and that’s where I tried to convince him that Polish girls are missing the “gas gene” and so it’s impossible for us to toot... hahaha.

8. Of course Q would never tell Junior Mint the real truth about that… hahaha.

9. With the main character in Q’s Korean gangster drama show dying on Monday night’s episode, it was fair to say that no more annoying crying Korean girls and overly dramatic fighting Korean boys would be flashing off and on my TV screen every Monday and Tuesday night. Although tonight was neither a Monday or Tuesday night, Wednesday nights was always my much anticipated no-TV night.

10. That’s the strange thing about Korean dramas… soap operas… unlike Western dramas, like “These are the Days of Our Lives” who’s kids have kids and you watch them grow up on the big screen for a couple of decades, Korean dramas only last one season. I use to find that increasingly strange but after about a month or so of watching “Left of Eden”, or whatever that show’s name was, now I know why it only lasts one season; one season is all most viewers can take of the over-the-top melodramatic female spats, yelling ajjumas, and staged male fight scenes. You can only watch so much of that before you realize it’s the exactly the same situation every show… guys try to kill each other but they always manage to miss death, girl cries, ajjuma yells at the girl crying, and then the guy comes to rescue the crying girl (that or shut her up for the sake of getting bad ratings… hahaha). I can’t say I totally couldn’t stand Left of Eden though, after all, it did have two English speaking characters and I fun it both funny but respectable how other Korean characters were forced to learn English lines so that they could communicate to such characters. Needless to say, I sure hope Q doesn't like the new drama that's taking over Left of Eden's time slot!!!
