taek gogi, kae gogi and 'pelican fried chicken?!'
Mood:  happy
today has been so great. it just seems like everything has fallen right into place and has been almost 100% worry free!! i love it when that happens. first, we werent late to school, but i forgot it was tuesday so i dmissed my bus to the elementary and hung out at the midd school until one of the teachers could bring me. they didnt care its only like a 5 minute drive, and i got to spend tme with yeamin and yealim.

when I got to the elementary everyone was in the library on the computers. we didn't have any classes that day I dont know why, but it was wonderful. The entire time we were there we were on the internet in the library. i finally caught up on all the emails i've been meaning to write! horray for me! and also, no mean scary 5th grade teacher at all!!! thta made me really happy! the nurse is so cool too. she has a daughter in the kindergarten, but no husband. here that is soo scandelous. so ithink that is really awesome! congratulations for her, but it kind of makes me wonder. seh is such a sweetheart too.

back to donggang for lunch, and some bonding time with the students. sort of. we had english classes and then a free class to work on a project that i didnt do but helped someone do.

i skipped last block english class. i was on my way there and me and yeil got into a war with these bouncy fruits that smell really good....then me dany and the boys from the 3-1 class hung out in the nurses office, because no one ever goes there. everytime someone knocked on the door we'd all jump out the window!! bail out! i checked into the english class once but no one was doing anything people were not even in class, so i went back to the nurses station. me and dany were corrupting sambien like do you love your girlfrined? why are you in here then? do you really love your girlfriend? haha they are so fun. i couldnt find yeamin to get my sandles back so i ended up wearing his home...then my host mom almost ran over my heel today when we were dropping off some people. she ran over one sandle so i couldnt move, and got my heel but just a little, took off a few layers of skin and hurt really bad. i didnt know whether to cry or laugh. it was a funny sight...im sure. my mom is such a bad driver! that confirms it.

when i got home i made some more layouts in my mini scrapbook thing. i like it. i used the flowers from school left over from the anniversary celebration. i looks cool but i dont think it will age well. we'll see. ji-eun had to go to yoga, but i chatted with people on tachy more, i love that soo much! i only talk to a few people and can only say a few things, but it is great fun anyways! i learn something new each time!

yoga was fun, and relaxing, and after jieun told her dad about me wanting to try kae gogi (dog meat) it's illegal in the usa so i have to try it! anyways he said they would get me some on the weekend, and bought me chicken after i helped jae-un with his homework. i love chicken. it was soo good!!! "your spanish really turns me on..but then again, so does chicken!" those were good times.

when i got home a package from cayla was waiting for me on my desk. it only took 6 days to get here. that is amazing, since the eye liner mom sent me took 2 months...no joke. cayla sent me a letter, some pictures i have taped to my wall, and a collage that is also taped to my wall. one pic is of just jimmy and jack. jieun nabbed it and me hey wait wait wait! and her nooo i looooooove jimmy!! haha she really does too! shes like he looks like hes really kind and funny. i hope i can bring her back so she can meet him. that would be nice.

ohh i have friends that love me!!! ^_^ - the koreans have gotten me into making the little squinty eyed smilies. soo cute!!

so i had to update, cuz i've had such a good day, n i dont want tomorrow to ruin it.

my dad,with his only english quote he's leearned from those annoying english tapes, "early to bed early to rise makes a mad healthy" he says it all the time. and jieun, "early to bed early to rise makes a man healthy, f*** you. .. f*** you saying that is not true! I hate it!" and she gives the middle finger to no body in general. haha i swear i didnt corrupt her, she must have been like this before i got ahold of her. :D i was like...yah..go jieun!! i really really hate that saying too. shes loads of fun. i think me being here has really improved her grasp on the english language. it is way way better than it was when i first got here. i dont have to talk slow to her either, or anything.

but i should get to bed now, NOT because my host dad said to, but because I want to...yah thats how it is! haha

later
