...that have been on my mind.
*I've officially been in Korea for 6 months!! The time is flying (as I continue to say as the months pass) and now instead of counting the months up, I'll will be counting them down.
*An example of how I've become accustom to living here is that I now unconsciously throw my toilet paper in the garbage can rather than in the toilet (only in public...I don't abide by such rules at my apartment:) It may sound strange that it has taken me 6 months to get used to this custom, but after 24 years of throwing it straight in the pot it's required a bit of conscious thought. I think anyone over the age of 10 would agree.
*I was wretchedly ill this weekend and horizontal (in bed) for most of it. I watched a lot of TV and clocked in multiple hours of sleep...Being sick and living alone SUCKS, but I'm very thankful for all the people who called or stopped in to check on me to bring me soup, medicine, movies and mandu...and many thanks to a friend (andu mandu) for doing me a huge favor on Saturday...anyway, I'm feeling better now~about 87% I'd say.
*I've rather adjusted to living alone and am really enjoying it...even though it does suck when sick. I've always lived with people, family to roomates to friends to friend, but never solely on my own. There were times in the past few months where I went a little crazy with myself, or found myself really boring, but now I'm realising that it's a great opportunity to figure out how I live...if that makes sense. I have learned that I shed a ridiculous amount of hair...(I can hear my mother and Zac sighing right now)...I've also learned that when I can't get a lid off a jar it really sucks.
*I've made really personable relationships with some of my students. They make my job worth it. Our schedule is constantly changing and sometimes our students get switched around and a couple of times I've been really upset because my favorites are now with the other foreign teacher. It's okay though, kids are kids and I like them.
So yeah, 6 months down 6 more to go. I'm looking forward to summer days at the beach (although I'm already anticipating how much I'll miss the summer at home: camping, aud's pool, bbq, beach, Frisbee, porches, fires, walks, festivals blah blah blah)...whatever, I can do all those things here - minus aud's pool.
the jar thing is killer. i once just ended up cracking the whole thing open, just to put the contents in ANOTHER jar. genius.
ReplyDeletecan i still go waterskiing with your dad, even though you aren't here? i could really go for another macatoilet enema, that was delightful.
