you think...

it was a bad day?

i had to wash the blackboard AND sweep the floors, yaja, tired....HUNGRY. you think it was a bad day? no. it actually wasn't.

today one of the guys sang in front of the class in hanja. HAAAAAAAAAA!

i played basketball before yaja with the guys. i did an alley-oop [well...a fake one] with one of the dudes.. we're both short. i made it though.

yunju kept on getting "hurt". the ball hit me too. you know though...i told her, "it's basketball right?"

i acted as yunju's electronic dictionary and read some words for her. she also dictated the speed at which i read.

i really love my class.

may 19

today is the day when i received my korean name [which i don't very much like, but it's growing on me slowly]: tin [last name] doori [means two; entire name means two "tin"s].

adjectives: weird weather, itchy, messy

lunch: curry rice. delicious.
dinner: salmon. delicious.
side note: i wanted my name to be baram [wind] because i tell hyejo that i'm a casanova/player/i like everyone... when she asks me which guy i like the best in the class. in korean, the phrase for a "player" is "like the wind".

raining.

yet again. spring showers i suppose?

no pe. we watched glory road instead. earlier in the day, a guy from the other team tried to bribe me. he was like "if you pretend you're sick and let us win, i'll buy you something from the snack store." HA. i looked over to the other good guy on my team and was like, "NO WAY."

we had eel for lunch. it wasn't very good. too many bones.

i'm sleepy. i only slept in english at the end. in korean i took notes and the teacher came to my seat and was like, "YOU WROTE THIS?" and then she pinched my cheeks and told me how good i was and to continue to take notes.

nothing really eventful today.

been practicing for pe day. my right thigh hurts. all of the girls' right thighs hurt. a certain move is the cause. if you know the dance, "oh! by snsd" it's the first thing.

pe day sounds fun. i'm nervous about the relay race, but i think it'll be fine. i'm the first runner and i'm running a roundabout. i think we have to start in a lunge...i really can't do that.

tomorrow: curry rice for lunch. yessssssssssss...

best day #1

i gotta say. today was pretty cool.
stuff that happened wasn't that great, i just feel good.

today was children's day. the day started with the tea ceremony stuff. my friends practiced for the cheer part of pe month...i couldn't go. i'm doing 2 of the 3 dances too. the third dance is the guys...how am i supposed to do anything?

anyways...i really wanted to go and i was just so exhausted to do the tea thing. i did well though. i felt like i did.

when we got back we went to watch hairize. they were awesome. after i talked to the older members...[alumni]...one guy was from germany but he only lived there when he was small so his english wasn't perfect but he could understand me.

today was also the day we met the devil...heh heh heh. ask me when i get back. i'd love to tell you the story.

overall i feel good even though i'm exhausted. i'm afraid i'm getting sick. gotta take that vitamin c.

pe month

yesssssssssssss...

my body hurts so bad.
why?
three words:
tug o' war.

then today i played basketball. we are doing dances too for the "olympics" and one of the guys wouldn't agree to doing one song. we said if he lost the basketball game he would have to. i made sure that we one. my team is awesome.

our class won 4 out of 4 in tug o' war too. we used a "one two" technique in which we pulled and pushed. the last one we totally won. my back hurts so bad though.

tomorrow i have tea ceremony training again. i was supposed to go practice for the dancing with my class, but i can't....so sad. hopefully we'll do practice on thursday too.

since it's childrens day and the anniversary of the opening of school, there is no school tomorrow or thursday. yesssssss.

deep sleep. that's what i'm going to do.
