second round.
i’m currently re-watching season 1 of gilmore girls. judge away. but, in episode 12, lane’s mom just spoke korean to her and i didn’t even realize it at first. i just knew what she said. then it hit me, and i had to rewind it just to make sure it really happened. i swear i don’t remember her speaking anything but english when i watched this show the first time through.

there goes another one.
watch out. negative nancy in the house. i hated this week so much. i’m not sure what crawled up my butt, but hopefully it will fall out after some r&r in the 분 this weekend. i’m so glad tomorrow is friday.

engrossed in my online-ness. itunes on shuffle. i just listened to 1min 37sec of the lion king’s “i just can’t wait to be king” before realizing what was hitting my ears. (kindergarten teacher for life.)

let me stroke my ego.
i’m a good teacher. i said it. i had my first open class ever today, and the parents were eating out of the palm of my hand. the boss tells me it’s the best response he’s ever had. he’s just terrified to tell them that i’m leaving. oops.
(apologies later for being full of myself. i’m just feeling good.)

T.M.I.
in case you were wondering how my day turned out… i laid in bed for approximately 11 of the 12 hours i have been awake. the remaining 1 was spent walking the 3 minutes to the grocery store for food, preparing said food (more than once), and going to the bathroom. also, i spent the entire day bra-less for the first time in ages. now, that’s what i call a relaxation success.
IT'S SO COLD.
the adventurous me wants to just wash my face right now, throw some jeans on, grab my subway map and camera, and walk out the door to an undetermined destination. but the logical me knows it’s -7 outside, and i’m a baby. having no plan, getting lost and wandering around outside for a long period of time may not be the best idea given the current weather conditions. i’m tired of...
숙제.
숙제 숙제 숙제 숙제 숙제 숙제… if i hear an excuse involving this word one more time before i leave work, i may jump off of my roof tonight.

crap.
i have purchased way too many things over the past week. they are all things i planned on purchasing, and legitimately needed from the states. however, i now have no room for these things in my ONE suitcase that i brought home. guess who will be shipping a bunch of junk back to korea. i am a genius.
