Texas again

I'm home. Most of me. I'm still trying to get acclimated to being in Texas and doing normal, work-related stuff. I keep forgetting things like.. keys. Nothing too important, I guess. I mean, I don't really NEED to get into my classroom. I guess. I have a lot on my mind, guys.

But I'm so glad to be back in the comforts of my apartment, and I'm so glad that I went on an ADVENTURE and I'm so glad to have... other things. I'm a lucky girl and I recognize all that that entails right now. So. Yay.

Eat, Work, Sleep

That's basically all my life consists of at this point. Oh that and missing my boyfriend. And sweating. And wishing I were sleeping more. In my bed. In my room. In my apartment. I miss my bed.

I like being here, though. Don't get me wrong. My students, however, are a precocious bunch and have made me decide that I never want to have children of my own. Ever. High schoolers couldn't do that to me, but 12 year old kids can.

Also, it's getting in the high 90's in Incheon lately. That's madness. Next week is supposed to drop to the 80's, which I'm looking forward to. The magic straight is holding up wonderfully and I know that if I hadn't gotten it that I would have just shaved my head by this time so for the sake of my vanity, I want to thank the creator of this straight perm. As it is, blisters are forming ON TOP of my blisters, the heel of my left foot has been aching for weeks and I'm pretty sure that mosquitoes find me a delectable and exotic treat. Except for last night when my coworker and I were walking through the streets and found ourselves unable to avoid the mosquito spraying truck that drove by. A slight reprieve.

In other news, kids are mean to each other. It's nuts..

I'm wearing a brightening mask to try to counteract all the tan I've gotten walking around the city.

I LOVE having a coffee shop in the basement.

Sunday is my final day off and I'm going to spend it doing as many things as possible because after that, it'll be a straight eight days of work.

On the bright side, this means that I have 11 days until I see my boyfriend again. And yes, I'm writing about him like an infatuated schoolgirl. Because... I am an infatuated schoolteacher. It's almost the same thing, right?

I found the most delicious Korean restaurant ever the other day and I want to eat there solely from now on.

I'm REALLY going to miss kimchi in about two weeks.

I appreciate everything that air conditioning and caffeine have done  for me in the past two weeks.

Typing on a netbook is hard, ya'll. My fingers are so confused. I have to proofread things? What the heck, man. I never have had to proofread things in my life.  Well, that's not true... I kind of proofread things a lot. It's the nature of the game.

I love Rachael Yamagata.



Also, Pablo Neruda.

Also, Korean facial masks.

Also, comfortable shoes. I sure wish I had brought some to me before I decided to walk for days.

Subways are pretty nice, too.

Overall, I'd probably give life a really high B+.
