tidbits

today i went zorbing. amazing.

today i visited the glass castle and had green tea ice cream. awesome.

today i saw the vagina monologues. good. pretty vagina-y though.

yesterday i left school to go to the jimjilbang. best "lunch break" ever.

today i saw a few blossoms on a tree. i'm sad i'm leaving right before prime cherry blossom time.

up until last weekend i could count on one hand the amount of times i've really gone out since i've been here. i won't be having any more crazy weekends for a while.

i recently realized that sometimes when i drink i get to a point where i try to make myself sound sober by being very "reasonable" and "smart." in reality, i am not that "reasonable" and "smart" when i actually am sober. this is annoying. especially after the fact when i have to stick with what i said, even though sober me hates it.

wine bars are way cooler than i ever thought they were.

today my apartment started smelling bad. i'm pretty sure there's a sewage issue in the building. i'm pretty sure it won't be fixed very soon. i'm pretty sure i'm glad i'm leaving when i am.

this week i had haggis, tablet (both made by some scottish friends), bingsu, the korean dragon-shaped street food, and hummingbird cake for the first time. all of them were delicious. especially the cake, because it was made with love and southern hospitality.

tomorrow i am going back to the zorbing place to ride dune buggies. i am so excited.

in 3 days i am leaving jeju.

in 4 days i will be home!

praise God!

right now...

what i should be doing:

sorting my clothes

organizing my kitchen stuff into piles for the different people it's going to

doing laundry

making sure i don't have a bunch of extra stuff to get rid of when i leave

packing to make sure everything fits in my suitcases

getting a card for my friend who's leaving

getting all my flight stuff together

what i am doing:

watching boy meets world

i've never been good at preparing in advance. or multitasking. or not getting addicted to shows.

these last 5 days should be interesting...

so in my middle school i've had an "english camp" this week. it's not real english camp, because i don't get to do fun things like food and stuff. but i've tried to at least make it interesting for them because i still think it's terrible that they have to go to classes during their vacation.

ANYWAY... we've been talking about music and music videos. today we were talking about what music videos are for and how you can usually tell what a song is about just by watching the video.

i showed them this one and asked them what it was about.

their responses:

**5 seconds of silent stares**

a few girls: "he just lays everywhere!"

one girl: "he is lazy."

another girl: "he is sad."

a boy: "because he is homeless."

haha they are precious peanuts.

on another note... i'm coming home! don't feel like writing why, but i'm super stoked! and this is the best way to go out... with the best of my favorite kids, then a week of deskwarming to look for jobs.

:)

haha oops

i just left school an hour early legitimately thinking it was 4:30.

it wasn't until i just looked at my phone that i realized that, now that i'm home, it's only 4:08.

oh well... i said goodbye to my co-teacher and she didn't say anything!

this is what deskwarming does to me...
