i don't wanna talk about it.

once upon a time, i came to korea and i went shopping for my first time and i needed to buy shampoo and conditioner (here we call it rinse). and i spied a big value pack of this shampoo-rinse combination so i bought it.
only to come back to my dorm and find that it was three HUGE bottles of shampoo only.

so i was like, argh whatever.

so i work in a little store, and we sell all those kinds of hygiene products. i was looking the stuff and i recall thinking to myself, "how come we only sell rinse and not shampoo?" and i bought a bottle, because i needed it.
only to come back to my dorm and find that it was a bottle of shampoo.
(just for the record, when i went back to check, we only sell shampoo-- no rinse)

so i was like how did i do that again? whatever.

my friend pitied me, and gave me her left over rinse that was the brand she doesn't like. it had a few uses left in it, but recently has emptied. now i am not a rich student, that is for sure. yesterday i went out because i needed to buy some things, and i realized actually that i only had money for either rinse, or some lunch for this week.
and idk, food is usually not difficult to come by some how, but i thought if i didn't buy some rinse now i might never be able to. (a little dramatic, i admit)
so i used the last of my money to finally buy a medium sized bottle of rinse.

as i left i felt so accomplished, you know? it was a really glorious feeling, really. maybe i would be a little hungry this week, but i finally have my rinse.

last night i was very excited to use my new very own rinse.
so i did
all i remember thinking is..
"why is does my conditioner create suds...??"

yeah.
it was shampoo.

"aren't you afraid that if you keep eating, you'll get fatter?"

fridayyyyyyy! :D
what a glorious day. maybe by the time you beautiful people read this, it will be friday evening for you too. no school, no homework. it's movie night for the girls, i chose fight club:) birthday party tomorrow, and today- we had a meeting for all the class presidents, they took us out to a buffet. and korean buffets are like heaven, because alll the food is so good, and they always have sushi and delicious beautiful desserts.
so nice.
oh yeah, so somehow i'm class president. why does this always happen to me? i'm late to class and slow at korean. what do you want from me?? haha

you know what's interesting, is that korean desserts always look better than they taste. ALWAYS. i mean they taste good, they do. but they just look soo nice that you expect them to taste like clouds and hearts and marshmallows. and then they just taste like cake, and you're like wtf man

i like to write here i think, because i miss talking in english. i mean i speak english in my school, but i can't just say whatever i want because i have to think about what vocabulary everyone will understand and stuff. anyway i need to go take a break.

oh yeah, and the quote above is something that this chinese dude asked me today at the buffet haha

toothpaste

before i came here, i decided that i would buy a new tube of toothpaste.
i was in whole foods, so they have all this organic toothpaste.

i saw that the brand i wanted had two flavors, "peppermint" and "anise". i was going to just grab peppermint, but at the last moment i decided to try something new, and go with mister "anise".
So i arrived in korea and enthusiastically tried out my new toothpaste which was very interesting because it tasted like licorice. kinda weird but whatever, it's not really an issue.
except for i could never quite get that fresh minty feeling you love after brushing your teeth.

The first few days here i had a massive amount of free time, which was actually really nice. by massive amount, i mean like over seventy two hours straight of anything i wished. so one of these days i had just finished eating my snack of licorice allsorts that i had brought from america, and feeling a little bored around midday. and I thought, perhaps i could go outside and take a little walk. or maybe i could take a nap.
but, ehh if i take a nap, i'll want to brush my teeth first. and I don't really want to brush my teeth, because i just ate licorice, you know?
but wait one second!
my toothpaste is licorice flavored!
so it won't clash with my current taste!

okay, so i will brush my teeth and take a nap.
and that is exactly what i did.
and it was one of the most glorious, and the most interesting nap i think i've had.
and also during that nap i met someone interesting that i wouldn't have if i hadn't been in my room.
isn't it interesting how so many things are caused by something so small?
i like licorice.

what i love

good afternoon!
yesterday, i bought a laptop. so now i have my own computer, and i feel comfortable using it as much as i want, for whatever i want.

i really love it here.
i love waking up early, and opening my window. the sky is so gray, like silver. and the wind is so windy, and the trees are so happy. i mean, i think they could be happier, but they're really really nice and they make me so happy, and i think that makes them happy.

every day, i exercise my eyes. and guess what? i think my eye sight has made a very quick improvement. i will tell you later about it.

i work in a little store here on campus, it's such a nice job even though i make less than seventy cents an hour. but really, i make as much as i need, so it's very good for me. plus also i can choose two breads for lunch sometimes, and these breads are so very yummy. and i can study when no one is coming in, and it's just so nice.

i have to study now though, because tomorrow is school, and i don't want to be behind.
