An awkward thing I did today

This has nothing to do with the “that awkward moment” meme because this wasn’t an awkward moment it was just this super awkward body thing I did today. I was walking to the store (all of three minutes, on foot, away), wearing my flip flops and tank top. Perfect weather.

I’m approaching the store, but I have to cross the street. I have two options: 1. wait until the traffic stops and I can cross (it’s a small street, but with a fair amount of car traffic, especially on Saturday afternoon) but this could take up to three minutes of waiting. OR 2. At a lull in traffic going one way, dart through the cars. They usually aren’t going very fast, so they all generally stop.

Option 2 is the option I usually go for, as do most of the people who live in my neighborhood. It’s generally not dangerous.

The Little Things

I feel so good this morning after washing my windows. They were so gross, and now I can see in them so much mre nicely, and they let sun in so much more abundantly!

Also, I’m back in Spring Cleaning mode, as I usually am on weekends, so I’m hoping to get some floors cleaned, a load of laundry done and some general tidying done.

Tonight I’ve got a party out in Sinchon for ultimate frisbee league finals tomorrow. I will almost certainly be buying a new headband on my way there, which is an exciting prospect (my headband collection has officially hit double digits). And tomorrow I will be spending the day in the glorious sunshine and then hopefully buying a package deal for Jeju!

What are you all up to this weekend??

This is my unwrapping, posted yesterday, about the YG Family Concert DVD. I watched only the first disc last night. I will watch the other discs tonight or tomorrow.

I really wanted the Big bang album, but I was too late, so when is there going to be another giveaway?

reallywally Said:

lol. Ummm, probably not for a while. I don’t have the time/money to ship Big Bang CDs all over the world. The CDs are heavy and international shipping out of Korea is pretty expensive (usually about 30usd plus the cost of the cd/snacks), plus the time to get out to a post office and stuff.

I hope you guys aren’t all just following me for the giveaways… *sadface* ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

Hello~ I am so glad to have found you! In order to teach at universities in Korea, must I get a PhD? After I graduate from community college or get my bachelor's degree do I have to join a TEFL(I think it's this one) program and if so how long does it take? If I major in business instead and come to teach in Korea for a year while searching for a business job then you said English speakers can apply for jobs at American companies in Korea?

reallywally Said:

English speakers can apply for jobs at any company. Whether you will get a job at a major Korean company is slim as they usually hire young (direct out of university) and Korean.

To teach English at a university you need either a masters or an extensive teaching background (usually a teaching certificate from your home country).

To teach English in a public k-12 school you should have a bachelors degree. You do not need a TEFL certification, but if you have it you can usually get paid more.

My questions are.... (1) someone i’d like to be for a day and why. (2) lyrics that apply to my current situation/mood. (3) 5 things that irritate me about the same sex/opposite sex. (4) a famous person i’ve been compared to.

reallywally Said:

Someone I’d Like to be for a day: If I can experience the personality/responsibilities/thoughts of the person along with living their life: my boyfriend, Hoon, because he is under so much stress and I know I don’t help, and I think if I had some empathy about his situation (studying endlessly for the teacher exam with minimal hopes of passing this time around) I think I would deal with it better and have a chance to help him feel better about the situation. If it were just like living the life of someone, but having my own thoughts and stuff, maybe my cat Nova, because his life just seems pretty chill.
Lyrics that apply to my current situation/mood: “I said I’m gonna buy a gun and start a war, if you can tell me something worth fighting for…” (name the artist/song combo for a plus point in my book… it’s easy!)
5 things that irritate me about men (no particular order): 1. dishonesty 2. how little they care about things that don’t immediately involve them 3. how they don’t put the toilet seat down 4. How they scratch their junk. 5. How hard they work to be manly to avoid being labeled weak or feminine or gay. 5 things that irritate me about women: 1. when they are taller than me. 2. How we compete with each other constantly over nothing. 3. How easily we change our minds 4. periods 5. stockings. wtf is that shit?
A famous person I’ve been compared to: Cameron Diaz and especially Uma Thurman (in her Kill Bill era in particular)
