Highlights of my Day... Wednesday, March 25

1. Using my nose as an example in class got a lot of laughs but I hate that I have some totally uninvited teeny-bopper pimple forming on my nose. It’s now red, agitated, and a bit angry at me trash-taking it… hahaha.

2. My White Day letter-writing student showed up for class today and I resisted the urge to hug him and overly thank him for the sweet letter that totally hit the spot. He’s been suffering from a stomach problem for awhile now apparently but he showed up wide-eyed and eager to work in class.

3. Both classes I teach today are in the Agricultural Building, a building dreaded by all professors because it’s notoriously known for it’s slow Internet connection, questionable rooms, and brutal computers that work just as much as they don’t work. But like last week, the young tech assistant dropped by my class to check up on my equipment. He’s become a familiar face in class and so the students tease me, telling me that I’m going to have to hand over part of my paycheck if this continues… hahaha.

4. This week various faculties are having their MT field trip and so today a large group from one of my Thursday classes joined one of my classes. Attendance jumped from 45 students to a little over 65. Surprisingly, it was pretty cool to teach such a large group of students and I somewhat prefer it.

5. After class I booted my Polish butt off to the immigration office to finalize my work visa stuff. They were at number 90 when I showed up and it took them a good five minutes to go from 90 to 91. I was number 212.

6. Sitting and waiting bored out of my mind didn’t really interest me and so I headed over to LotteMart beside Immigration. I was hungry and so I popped myself up at the sushi stand in the grocery store, licked my lips and eyed the sushi as it passed before me on the little revolving display.

7. Turns out the sushi master there is a fan of boxing and recognized me. He recognized me from a newspaper interview I did and so he ended up making me a whole whack of tuna sushi because in the article I had mentioned about my diet and how it’s loaded with protein. No sooner did I finish my meal but he then placed down more plates in front of me, insisting that I accept his “service” (aka complimentary sushi). I couldn’t resist. He asked me for my autograph and well, I couldn’t resist that either. I don’t really get asked for my autograph a lot, I tend to get more people asking me to pose for pictures though and so that’s always very cool.

8. As of 3:20pm I became officially legal in Korea for another year… sweet!!!

9. Black Skinny’s baby remains nameless but tonight I set up a sweet joke. I knew everyone would be eagerly asking him questions about his baby at training and so prior to coming, I told everyone to address Black Skinny’s baby as “Hogan” when they talk to him… hahaha. I counted four people who threw the name Hogan into their discussions with him within a time frame of about twenty minutes and so it was hilarious. Scored a good clip across the head for that one but it was well worth it… hahaha.

10. Apparently that 4-foot long beating stick is now as much a part of my training routine as hitting the pads with Junior Mint is. Many watched as Junior Mint stood beside me holding the stick, eagerly ready to hit me with it while I pounded away at the heavy bag and with every left guard I dropped or every minor mistake I made, slap went the stick on my body. I wasn’t the only one who got a beating tonight though. S-line-Wannabe-Girl stepped in the ring with Milk Dud but what started off with them just joking around ended with her scoring a bad body shot that ended it all… ouch!!!

QUESTION OF THE DAY...
What drives you?

QUOTE OF THE DAY...
Don't ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.
