I want my spunk back.

I'm kinda in a funk (I think). I don't really know why. I absolutely love it here! I love walking around and not having a clue where I'm at or even being able to understand a word others are saying. Although, I did finally figure out how to say thank-you in Korean (kamsamnida). For some reason I just feel....well, blah. Almost like I'm just here being. I'm never really hungry, I've had a lack of energy, I've been indifferent about a lot of things and for someone who is pretty opinionated and typically knows what she wants this is weird. Depression? Nope, that's not it. Home sick? Mmmm, I definitely miss my friends and family, but I wouldn't say I'm home sick (at least yet). Maybe, my body is still adjusting to its new environment? Yep, I thinks that's it. Well, damn. It needs to hurry up and adjust because I would like to get my spunk back please and thank-you - I mean kamsamnida.

Alright body, to assist with this adjustment, here is what I'll do for you: make sure you're intaking a substancial amount of fluids, specifically H2O. I don't want you to become dehydrated. Body, I would like you to know I will be drinking a large amount of alcohol tonight. So, I'm apologizing in advance...sorry. I will also make sure to energize you with an efficient amount of calories a day. I know your eating schedule has been turned upside down and you've been tasting a lot of new foods, but you'll get use to it. Oh yeah, I will make sure you get a decent amount of sleep each night. There you have it...I've made these promises. Now, this is what I want in return: do not get sick and I want my spunk back. That's it! Just these two little favors and I promise you I will take care of you!

Moving on. Here are some photos of my new home. It's small and I don't really like it too much, but it's doable and I can live here for a while at least. One of the teachers will be leaving at the end of January and I will be moving into her apartment which is bigger, slightly nicer and smells better. So I'm pretty excited about that!

Here is my room looking towards the kitchen area, which is behind the glass doors. It's small, but like I said, doable. What do you expect from a one bedroom studio apartment? Sorry about my stuff all over the place. I've been meaning to unpack, but I've been so busy. I was going to unpack today, but I don't think that will happen either. Maybe tomorrow.
 Here's my bathroom. It always has this weird funky smell, but I'll deal. Are you wondering where is the shower? Look closer. Nope, even closer. Do you see that white hose thing coming from my sink? Thats my shower and yes essentially the bathroom itself is my shower. Weird right? I shower over the shitter.
 And my kitchen. I don't like my kitchen. I think its gross and it always has a funky smell. The kitchen in my other place is a lot better!
 View of room from kitchen. There's my front door.
 My apartment building. I live on the 2nd floor.
 View down the street from my building. Recognize it?
 Now down the other side...

ps---my co-teacher, Sunny, read my palm the other day. She said I was going to make a lot of money.


pss---I want to give a big thanks for those who made my going away party great!!! I miss you already!


As you can see, we like colorful drinks that come in small glasses.
