So happy this day ended.

I don't really know how else to start this post other than just saying what's actually on my mind...

This day was F-ING annoying. I'm not entirely sure what started today's spiral of events, but it hasn't been fun. I was very flustered while teaching all of my classes. Not one. All. I'm not really sure what happened. I just kept stumbling over my words and forgetting things in the office. Wednesdays are also PE days for our students and I teach a yoga class at the campus rec center. Generally, the yoga room is really clean, but for some reason there were at least 10-15 dead moths and various other bugs on the floor and I, the lucky one, kept stepping on them. Keep in mind I was in the yoga room and was bare foot. Not only was I stepping on dead bugs during class, but my students were being pretty difficult. The students typically try their hardest and are quiet. Not this group. They talked the entire time and was very unmotivated to the point where they weren't even attempting the poses. I was a very ANGRY teacher. Eventually, I threatened with wall sits and they got their act together. Somewhat.

Today I also....

dropped everything I touched. EVERYTHING.

fell out of my chair, not once, but twice. Once in the office while all teachers were there to see and again in the classroom while showing my students a video.

brought carrots and cucumbers to snack on for the day. And when I opened my new 'To Go' size ranch ready to eat my snack, I realized my veggies had gone mucusy. If you've ever left veggies out during the hot humid summer you know what I'm talking about. In Korea ranch is hard to come by so I tried to save my ranch, but I was unsuccessful. Mmmm mucusy veggies and ranch, sounds wonderful.



Wait not finished. I also...

ran into a door.

and dropped the package I received today while coming up my apartment stairs. Luckily it did not break.


I'm thinking it all started this morning when my favorite magnets fell off my door and broke.



The only great thing to happen today has been receiving my package of goodies and the girl below. I'm currently stuffing thin mints down my throat as I write. Another positive of the day. Mmm thin mints!

As I was getting dressed for the day I heard death screams coming from outside. I looked to see this middle school girl running down the street because a poodle no bigger than an American football was chasing her. The owner of the dog eventually caught the dog and continued on. This girl stood motionless in the parking lot for 5 more minutes. She didn't move an inch. It was actually quite impressive.


Third great moment of the day......I just finished one row of thin mints.

Good night.

5 reasons why this week is awesome!

5. This past Wednesday was Election Day in Korea. And with any election you of course need trucks blaring loud music while parked at an intersection with a few committed citizens dancing to promote their favorite candidate. I find it highly entertaining and love this time of year. I am sad to see it go.







4. No students this week. Enough said.

3. All tickets for summer vacation have been booked! After a month contemplating whether or not to travel to Taiwan, I made my decision and bought my ticket yesterday. I'm so excited for summer vacation and can hardly wait. I'm sure I'm annoying others because I'm constantly talking about my brother and our good friend coming to Korea and then us traveling to Tokyo! Gustavo, buy your ticket already!

Counting down the days for Taiwan, brothers/Gustavos arrival and Tokyo!

2. Attended an apartment grill out, or as the South African's say, Braai. I made s'mores and it was amazing.

1. After living in Korea for three years I was finally able to successfully order pizza and have it delivered to my apartment!
