I've always been curious about how the world works. Mostly like human concerns. It's interesting to observe how others live their lives, and how people appreciate things in their own way. It's also interesting to find out what kinds of things they do to make life enjoyable.

I've always wondered how people could possibly enjoy math or studying. Anyway.. here's a site that sounds interesting that I'm bookmarking for myself.

I slept over Alex's on Sunday after switching from daejeon to jochiwon. Errr, we went around town a little after he got me from the train station and did some shopping and grabbed pizza. I bought some new headphones for only 5000won (lil under $5) and some smartphone gloves that have fabric on the end that u can use with a smartphone.. like 6000 won (under 6 bucks).. but theyre not working well!! Maybe if i wash chemicals off them? .

Anyway, we got fancy pizza from dominos and then just ate and chilled for the night and watched some futurama episodes he had.

... 2be cont, my phone is dying

K baq....

Shooo,..

Tuesday, today..
Right now im on the bus to taean. Gotta korean class starting up this morning and gotta restock clothes for this weekend. ㅋㅋ my week off~ <3!!

Ummm lol *distracted by korean kids behind me being bored nd speaking english*

Monday-- woke up, went to check out alex's elementary school. Met the english teacher nd yeah. Had 토스트 some grilled sandwich and went to go check out a new grocery store. Turns out the grocery store just rebranded as an 이마트, emart lol. Couldn't find what he needed so we walked to Home plus 홈플러스. Well, we
jst window shopped, shopped, and snacked at home plus b4 heading to his apt. We made okonomiyaki lol and then headed to the bar to meet his friends. Had some beer, chilled and played darts.

One event was that if u get a score of 333, you get a free cocktail. Yours truly got a 333 lol. I was thinking of kaluha milk but wanted to try something different. I chose 오르가즘, yum! Turns out, it had kaluha milk in it lol.

We then went to another place to play billiads for a little till i got a kakao from kayla that our korean class in taean was today. Fawwwk. So we went back to alex's apartment but still played the ps3 lawll.

He bought games imported from japan like gundam games, initial d, and tekken tag 2. I'm so jelly! Bit theyre so expensive! Loll. But hella fun.

His friend left after a lil nd he put on south park b4 sleeping. Anyway, i slept at like 2.30? Damnn.. set my alarm for 5.20 but got up at .40 lol. Walked to the train station nd took the train to cheonan. (30mins).Walked 30mins from the train to the bus station for the 8am bus and now im on the bus. Almost there.

Anielle has it soooo good. Her CITY is on a train line, near daegu and busan, and only 2 hrs from seoul by ktx. What a lucky butt! I bet she'll have a co-teacher too! Wowwww. Oh well, i had a good enough experience in my town

It was my friend's bday weekend~! So we went to Daegu in the afternoon (4 hr bus ride.. 2transfers), and we like went to have dinner with one of her friends and his gf. They were pretty chill. We ate at this one restaurant that is sorta like, streetfood themed. Except they also served alcohol, fried chicken, and a dangling kebab thingy. I put a pic on Facebook lol. After, it was ee cha (2차), second round, at some bar. Had some soju, flavored cocktails, and more anjoo.. (안주) sorta like snacks when u drink. It's totally Korean style to have something to munch on while drinking. Mmm, we had some mini spicy chicken skewers and soup that we shared, along woth this weird fruit-looking nut-flavor-like thing. Can't really describe it.

3차~ 3rd round~ the gf drove us to a 막걸리 (mak kaw lee..rice wine) place and left lol. Nom nom 막걸리~ another one of the bday celebrant's friends came. We had some korean pancake this time (파전)~. We found a motel afterwords and yup, just slept. This motel had a jacuzzi!!!!

On saturday, we checked out later to roam around the downtown area and window shop and stuff. Ate burger king and iono. (Cuz, we crave unhealthy shit the day after drinking lol). We then met a friend at a cafe b4 gping to dinner, cuz she couldnt eat with us for dinner with the other people coming.

We met some of the celebrant's friends and had 닭갈비 (spicy chicken stire fry with some rice cakes and veggies..) and went to 2차 at a japanese bar. Omg, some friends and i made a mess with our custom-made soju bombs . yummm~ but we got to share them with others lol. Some people didn't like sake though. Anyway, we got to socialize and meet the celebrant's korean friends. So awesomee~ lots of soju, beer, soup, and okonomiyaki

3차 went to a 노래방~ karaoke. LOL over 2 hrs of kpop, american pop songs, beer soju and more snacks. But i dodn't drink this time. I was getting way drunk from 2차, 2nd round. So i calmed down.

4차 random outdoor tent barbeque stall. More fried spicy chicken bits over a grill and soju. Omgg. I only had like 5 shots there. We spent a lot of time mingling and being indecisive.

5차... 클럽~ we went clubbing~!!! ㅋㅋ. It was sooooo packed. But the music wasn't too bad. Just, the dj was like stopping and screaming at the audience randomly to keep the hype going lol. Anyway, it was too tightly packed for my taste and i didnt wanna squirm arpund to get more alcohol. Ohh well.

We went back to the motel at 5am LOL. the celebrant's friend drove us back.

Anyway, on Sunday, we had to check put at noon -_-;; so~ we headed towards the bus terminal and ate at lotteria b4 going back to 대전. They went home to 태인 (Taean), while i stayed in daejeon to eat and later meet a friend in Jochiwon.

I agree with some of the commentors that if you're mature enough yeah, but i also agree with them that it can be a relationship ender. I don't know if i'd want that because i've seen examples of marriages lasting past the whole sexual thing and stuff.
I think it's important to explore curiosities like dating people of other backgrounds and stuff like that. Like comments said, we can just shut off our attraction from others. I think it's a mature act to be able to rationalize saving the relationship over havin sone flings and stuff.
Hopefully i can get all of these experiences i want to have out of the way so i can commit to a relationship.

I wouldn't mind making friends with other married couples. I've seen married couples here together and it's cute how they share their time/lives with each other. I totally want something like that in the future.

My friends in relationships give me hope that u can maintain things. One relationship I admire is Cat and Trevor. They've been together since high school and they don't like, argue or whatever! It's like so surreally awesome.

I guess, as long as you know what the other person is all about in the beginning, it'll be easier later on. It's tough cause we all have different dreams and desires we pursue at the same time.. and that sometimes things like that change.
-------------------

Lots of memories of failure and obstacles come to my mind all the time.

The time when my energy gave out in Alaska and I really wanted to leave.

The times my kids got rowdy or times when lessons didn't work out.

All those times I failed classes.

The times where I'd be too shy to make a move socially.

But without those times, I wouldn't have been able to appreciate how uch I've actually gotten done to push forward.

Rather than envisioning a perfect result, how about giving thought to each step we take for granted?

.. just jotting down thoughts

LOL. well...

I really wanna become "mean strict" teacher. Wish I woulda been that teacher in the beginning, but I didn't know better. 

I'll make a dunce  cap and rules and make them practice for a whole week so they suffer and obey me. Like writing lines for 20 minutes or making them sit and stand for a million times and make them stand in attention forever. 

What if I don't make it? What if I can't learn enough Korean for the topik 5 test? I don't feel commited enough. What if I have to go home? What if I can't find a job in time if I even do get a visa? How will I pay for my debts? Will I just apply to TaLK again?! What about my dreams?! Will I actually finish my degree by next year? I can't be a student forever! If I finish my bachelors, what if I need a masters to get a better job?! WHAT DO I DO?! I'm not ready to leave Korea but what if I get tired of living here?!

........................
One step at a time. Break away from the comforts. Whatever happens, I can bounce back and I have the support of family and friends. Sacrifice for a great life lived rather than look back on a life that could've been.

Anielle, 2 more days!!!

.........
Ugh, gotta expand my professional and personal networks. Being at the university will help and maybe I can meet meet more people via couchsurfig again. I'll be in dorms so, gotta make the most of my apartment.

LAMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

Kids are tired of Barryfunenglish.com. I dunnnnoo what to do. Like a base for soup... what do i base my lessons off of??!! 

Maybe more worksheets, video making, and white boards?

ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

...Winter camp 5 senses

Your approval gets me going,
I want your attention

Nothing but acknowlegement,
I might need you more than you me

I am how i am,
Yet i say i can change

Though the hill looks too high,
The fruit not as plentiful

Until i can get over these hills,
I can't be what you and i thought i could be

.....
I want something more! But i don't deserve it ~ i'm busy lazying around and staying in my comfort zone; hopefully friends can help me--- im hoping to study after work nowadays. I get distracted at home. Sounds like a pattern
