Day 39

this is literally what woke me up today.

my roomie opening the fridge.

yamyamyam..sniff sniff. oooh my goodnesss....

mmm waking up to the overwhelming smell of kimchee

i am not korean enough for this...

2:16pm

casually walk out for my 2:00pm film class

i never run to film class.

close the door and realize oh crap!!!

i left my room key inside -___-

yeppp its locked. stupid automatic locks..

ahh dont want to ring the doorbell and wake up my roomie

she got back at 1:00pm...and i think she really needs to sleep.

sigh...we'll let the future rebekah worry about this.

in film class today we watched 'the host".

that movie was ridiculously awesome.

apparently during one part when the monster pops out of nowhere.

emma said i screamed. really loud.

how embarassing...

i remember i did that while watching a movie on a plane once. not cool man..

korean class reading day.

nooooooooooooooooo so boring.

i dont think i can handle it.

teacher sees our glum faces and asks if we are tired.

yesss groooan*

oooh i just got an idea. maybe this will work.

i say "game!"

and the class is all like ohhhh yeahhh and erick starts freaking out about this game we must play.

and the teacher actually says okay!!!!

we'll do reading during first half and then second half we'll play a game

yayyyy.

i dont know why i do this. i just really felt like it.

but i take my gum wrapper lick it and stick it on erick's forehead.

HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA.

erick is like wtf. but he doesn't take it off.

and then he says it's starting to burn.

i tell him its good for his skin.

lol....he is so gullible....wow.....

going on about how he needs to stick gum wrappers all over the rest of his face.

happy sigh* i think he's more clueless than i am.

the teacher makes us go around and read the whole page.

the really good girl goes. and teacher is all like great job.

can everyone else read like that.

nooooo....

okay rebekah you read then.

what?!! i said nooo...

ugh why did open my big mouth..

i suck at reading. the only people who are on my level is kuni and chris.

haha no offense. oh yeah i must mention this.

the teacher made chris read and he got all nervous and his voice started cracking.

HAHAHAAHAHAHA. what a dork...

ok so the game we play is this korean throwing wood stick game.

yeah...i dont know it.

apparently gasp im not korean...

erick claims he's a beast at this game.

so the teacher makes him one of team captains.

pick me pick me!!! i wanna be on his team.

ignore...

omg...middle school memories flooding back to me.

always being picked last. noooooooooooo.

eventually i get picked. and i turn out to be my team's MVP.

haha sike.... i mess up the first 2 turns...or was it 3?

threw the sticks off the table...my b.

but then i make a comeback. but it's still not enough for our team to win.

erick=fail team captain. i'm disappointed.

we must buy the other team coffee now.

afterwards dinner #1 at kkini.

with emma, jay, and saraaaaaaaah.

haven't seen this girl in forever.

sorry i slept through our lunch date yesterday ^^"

then familia (small group) with mama tina!!!

mama tina is so awesome.

oh man it was all chill and stuff and then when we were praying for people it got pretty intense...

i was bawling my eyes out. i usually dont do this....

wHY am i wearing mascara today.....

but i'm really glad emma came :D

she's a rurrl special person.
and i'm not just saying that cause she bought me cool pens..

emma says that she must have meat.

so we will go meat hunting today!

on the way out i see chris, chad, and james in the lobby.

they got fast food without me!!!!!!

i eat chris's burger and fries.

why did i just do that.

get a call from cheeia. she tells me to rush over to this restaurant.

cause they can't finish the food they are eating.

what am i. a human garbage disposal??

but i miss the girls <3 i need more girls in my life.

so emma and i go. but resist eating :D

doesn't matter though....

cause then 20min later we are stuffing our faces with samgyupsal (korean bbq)

dinner #3.

i can't even complain anymore...

even when afterwards we go for dessert.

just accept it rebekah. shhhhh

i'm getting food raped here...

foodcoma to the max. i think at the cafe i fall asleep a couple times.

yep. i think its time to leave.

i'm able to get back in. cause my roomie figured it out and left the door cracked open for me.

she is so smart.

so nice to be back in my pj's.

good night :D

the fake books at the cafe lol.

Day 38

yamyamyam what time is it?

1:20pm..

crap i missed my first lunch with cheeia.

and my second lunch date with sarah.

well at least i woke up before class started this time...

before class watch an inspiring video

that my frand back home lindsey sent me.

it makes me very positive.

what a good start to the day.

and plus the weather is amazing today.

ahhhhhhhhh i'm so happpy. iloveit iloveit iloveit.

Topics class with grandma teacher.

she's so cute.

during class she's like do you guys mind if i leave class for a bit so i can go talk with my friends.

HAHAHA. ur so cool grandma teacher..

this class is usually pretty boring but today it went by sorta fast.

cause erick and i sat in the back and girl talked the whole time.

shout out to erick. haha he says he feels like a superstar when he sees his name mentioned in my posts.

afterwards film class discussion.

more girl talk. and food talk.

erick gets sooooo overdramatic when he talks about food.

emma said that soondubu (spicy tofu soup) is not that great.

i could feel erick's death glare on her.

icy cold wind sound*

korean class with stone face.

haha stone face is kinda growing on me.

i think we're melting her. and making her into a more smiley person.

i zone out alot in class. and she doesn't even get that mad anymore.

shweeet.

after korean i'm excited cause i have dinner plans with my mama tina.

tina is so cool and we both eat so much.

i love just chilling and eating for hours.

she takes me to this nice italian place.

so romantic. mmm yes.

i like to be wined and dined.

we do some hardcore girl talking and God talking.

i love talking about God. could do it for hours..

someone please talk about God with me.

i'll love you forever :D

after dinner. tina says she's still hungry.

yes she was destined to be my spiritual mother.

we go desserting!

share this expresso icecream and uber chocolately thing.

ahhh orgasm in the mouth.

i'm so proud of myself today.

i traveled to the far away place where tina lives.

by bus and subway. all by myself.

and i didn't even get lost once.

i'm becoming a pro.

when i come back emma says she has a surprise for me :D

its these awesome pens that make your handwriting really pretty!

ahhhhhhhhhhh how cute/sweet. i love emma.

cause yesterday i mentioned how i must have this pen.

and she remembered and got 3 for me!! in different colors.

i like these surprise/thoughtful presents i've been getting.

they make me really happy.

i'm really thankful <3

bball with jay.

i'm not very coordinated/athletic obviously.

but i like shooting hoops. its quite relaxing.

and everytime i make one its like christmas.

and i feel like i accomplished something great.

after bball more food -__________-

ugh its like a bad addiction.

i know jay = food.

but i fall for it everytime. maybe that's why i hang out with jay so much.

we get chicken!

CHICKEN CHICKEN CHICKEN

i LOVE chicken. my fav animal to eat.

eating chicken at 1:30 am.

life is good.

wow..my roomie did not return last night and tonight either..

she is really serious about not sleeping...

hmmm i sorta like it..

goodnight :D

it was so gooooooood

mama tina

i love emma :D

why do you do this to me jay

Day 37

11:40am

Priscilla gives me a wakeup call for our group meeting.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahg.

sigh...marmarmar.

crawl out of bed and zombie walk to the lobby in my polka dot pjs.

that's hot.

my job in the presentation. is to poke priscilla if she starts talking too fast.

its a very critical job.

if i dont do it correctly the whole balance of the power point is thrown off.

afterwards get lunch with Soraya.

my swiss friend that i mentioned awhile back

with the amazing eye lashes.

dude this girl is like my role model.

she so gorgeous and smart and nice.

hehehehehe :D

emma says she likes me cause i'm sorta creepy.

i think i get what she means now. haha.

head back to my room.

open the door and ooh my roomie is there!

wait a min...why is our room so clean.

did she clean it?

omg...this is not my room..

the girl that is crazy staring at me is probably not my roomie either.

crap. uuhh. uuhhh.

u-turn out of there and run like the wind away.

ahh i got off on the 4th floor instead of the 5th floor

HAHAHAHA why am i so ridiculous?

sometimes i think i subconsciously do these kinds of thing just so i have something to blog about.

when i get back to my actual room

my actual roomie is there!

yay and we talk and stuff.

make her laugh with my wrong room story.

ask her why she wasn't here last night

turns out she doesn't sleep?

lol at night she goes to work somewhere on campus.

mmmmm i see. very interesting.

she likes hello kitty.

so i give her my hello kitty pencil case that i won at the arcade.

who's the best roomie ever.

korean class reading day.

ahhhhhh soooo boring.

and erick is not even here to keep me entertained.

a girl from class (i'm sorry i legitly forgot her name) gives me banana milk.

yay!

uh oh.... i think i'm getting sick of banana milk.

went a little too crazy with it here...

i feel queasy..

thankfully elisa gives me her apple soda thing.

refreshing. oohh nice 11% apple juice?

my fruit serving for the day.

tuesdays are EMMAUS days yay.

before EMMAUS i pray that lies will be broken and the truth will be revealed.

meet emma and jay in the lobby and "peer pressure" emma into coming with me and jay :D

she wants to be cool like us so she agrees. mwahahahahaha.

today Sarah shares her testimony.

sarah is so hardcore northern virginia korean cool.

so i'm super excited for her testimony.

oh man she talks about lies being broken and the truth being revealed.

i think at one point she said those exact words.

and i was like oooooooh snaaaaaaaap. no way.

God is so cool sometimes...

she also talks about family.

when you are saved so is your entire household.

for some families out there this really needs to happen.

mine too. i hate being mushy gushy with my family.

but i hope i be a source of healing for my family.

oh btw. i consider my best friends a part of my family too.

after EMMAUS always there is food.

emma and i get some pretty bomb diggity omelet rices.

jay gets something spicy. and whole time he's sweating like a chubby pig.

aHAHA.

oh yeah should mention this.

today i was telling daniel how i needed socks..

and then later at EMMAUS. daniel says he has a present for me

and its like the cutest socks :D

its an apple and then when you fold it over it turns into a mushroom.

how awesome is that. whatever i'm like super easily amused.

this totally made my day worth living.

remember how i said before that i really need to stop hanging out with jay

cause i keep eating when i'm around him.

yeah this needs to get in effect now.

stupid boy calling me up for late-night snacks -___-

okayy yeah uh huh we'll "share" the bag of chips.

share as in i end up eating the whole bag...

my destiny is not to be chubby...

goodnight >:]

nom nom nom. 

so much sweat. the napkin stuck.  so attractive...

Day 36

Wake up today to my ringtone.

wait a min....why am i waking up to a phone call

and not my alarm?

who's calling me i'm gunna kill this person.

its chris.

he says hurry up we have a quiz in 10 min.

look at the time 2:24pm.

OH CRAAAAPPPPPP.

class started at 1. noooo not again....

brush my teeth put on some jeans and run like the wind.

get to the elevator some guy is waiting for it too.

no time for this. run down 5 flights of stairs.

get down just as the elevator doors open and that same guy walks out.

he gives me a smirk like suckaaaaaa.

story of my life.

this is the cool part.

chris texts me get here now.

and dundundadun. that's when i burst in the classroom

right as the teacher is handing out the quiz papers.

NICE.

except i dont think grandma teacher likes me very much anymore...

borrow erick's book and do some hardcore super memorization for a good 10 seconds.

done. quiz time.

oh crap i failed this one.

finish and trade papers and grade.

get mine back. siiike. minus 1.

oh snappp. skills.  life is so unfair sometimes. no wonder all my teachers hated me.

i love my asian genes.

after class i yell at chris for not waking me up sooner.

i like to think of my relationship with chris like the one in my sassy girl.

except WITHOUT the romance.

just pure evilness.

i feel bad sometimes so i buy him things.

actually i only did that once....

ok i'll buy him food tomorrow.

get back to my dorm.

and 5 min later. the angry ladies are back!

crap. i should have just stayed out.

they tell me i must leave for sure today.

sigh....

i have until tonight to move.

after korean class i come back to my room and pack everything like i'm running from the popo.

stuff everything in my suitcase and whatever doesn't fit i dump in chad's room.

then make chad carry my suitcase.

what a good friend he is.

get to my room. my roomie is not there and her stuff is all over my side.

mmmmm i like her style. that's what i did too in my old room.

she seems messy too. shweet. we shall get along.

and she has a giganto box of cereal. nice

ooh fridge?? open and get blown away by the kimchee smell.

oh no......

afterwards i have another group meeting for our poli presentation -_________-

which basically equals to me talking while they do the work.

hey man...someone has to keep them entertained.

its okay i got it covered cause i ran around making sure people will give us good scores.

what would my group do without me...

jumping like a jumping bean.

after 2 and half hours my group finally lets me go.

and i play bball with the boys and emma :D

haha she's so cute when playing bball...cause she's just so good...;D

we play knockout then horse.

young jae is a champ. i wish i was as good as him...

then we order mcdonalds AGAIN.

ahhhhhhhhhhh whyyyyy.

chicken nuggets you are my weakness.

i was cranky towards the night for a particular reason

i shall not reveal why.

but for all those i evil glared and snapped at.

actually mostly just one person ^^"

i apologize sincerely.

i will buy you a waffle.

and maybe one for me too :D

its like 3:00am now

my roomie is still not back.

mmmm hardcore studier? or hardcore partier?

we'll see.

i will test out these communal showers now.

and then sleep

the pillow the i-house people gave me.

is literally dried pasta noodles stuffed in this net.

what in the world is this.....

i'm scared. good luck rebekah.

first night in the i-house.

i hope i have a goodnight.

but to the rest of you guys

goodnight :D

messy room

mcdonald destruction

giganto cereal box

my crazy pillow

Day 35

so if yesterday's mood was emo.

today's must have been uber happy.

guess who's back.

yesterday i felt so far from God

cause i made a big mistake

so i was kinda emo

well that and i found out i was getting kicked out of my awesome room

was on my period

and didn't get any sleep the night before.

after sleeping for 14 hours

i expected to wake up this morning.

feeling like cookies and sunshine.

but there was a cloud over my head again.

so i just started mindlessly folding my clothes.

and then i just got hit with inspiration

and started like rapping/praying.

felt so good. i could feel God's presence again.

haha man i should have wrote down what i saying.

it was epic.

like the modern day book of psalms.

then i felt so happy.

and my face was glowing and my eyes were twinkling.

and i was bouncing around my room.

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee

i like making mistakes. learn from them and move on.
or even get moved to the boys floor and have a room all to yourself.

later i order mcdonalds with the c's and jay.

30 chickens nuggets, chicken strips, 2 big macs, 3 fries, 2 shanghai chicken burgers, 1 mcflurry.

yeah....

i need to stop eating with boys..

guess who's hitting the gym later.

to burn like one french fry -___-

after the gym i go to the convenient store.

to buy some fruit. trying to be healthy today.

i also get a drink but tuck it under my arm.

when i get in the elevator i realize that crap i only paid for the fruit.

and not the drink.

oh no... this is the first time i've stolen something since like 2nd grade.

when i get off the elevators i run into Kuni (this oblivious japanese guy in one of my classes)

i give him the drink and tell him its for him.

he says why?

cause i stole it

oh okay. thank you. waiiit does this make me robber then?

haha no its okay you can drink it. goooodbyee

whew. i'm clean now.

so turns out last night wasnt my last night in SK global.

went to the desk today to find out what room im moving to.

and the desk guy was just like uuuhh i dont know just stay in your room for tonight.

shweeeeet.

i'm just gunna baracade myself in the room.

mwhaahaha. i am not leaving until they physically drag me out.

tomorrow is the check in day for the new students.

yeah....its gunna be quite a funny story when a guy walks in tomorrow and see's me sleeping in his room.

pwahahahahaaha.

i hope he screams like girl and runs away.

goodnight :D

oh happy day.

Day 34

my peace is disturbed by a doorbell.

open the door and there are three angry looking ladies.

crap they found me.

they know i'm living on the boys floor.

i have until tomorrow morning to pack everything and leave to the i-house.

preferably by tonight they say.

i ask them which room i need to move to.

they dont know...

great. so basically i'm getting kicked out of my awesome boy room to some unknown one.

with communal showers... o.O

i am beyond depressed today.

the doorbell rings again. and i get scared so i dont answer it.

but apparently it was just chad.

take all my coins and go to the arcade with jay.

spend all of them on one of those crane games (except its like this pokie stick one)

i must get that hello kitty pencil case.
i dont even like hello kitty that much but still.
i must win it.
i'm going to write a psychology paper on crane games one day..

jay and i fail every time ofcourse. and then i'm down to my last coin.

here goes nothing...

and then!!!! i actually get it.

we're all jumping up and down like two little dorks. so happy

i've never won anything in my life.

my spirits are uplifted for a little bit.

play basketball for awhile.

(play basketball as in play unicorn and horse)

i lose ofcourse...

i always lose at everything...

except the crane game :D (thank goodness)

the first will be last and the last will be first though.

sometimes i wish life was like basketball.

its so simple.

and you just have one goal.

make the ball in the basket.

i guess though in a way life it is like bball.

sometimes you make some and sometimes you miss some.

excuse my emo-ness today.

i'm just extremely tired and deeply saddened about having to leave my awesome room.

and my awesome friends i made at sk global.

maybe i'll make some new awesome friends at the i-house.

be positive.

being positive sucks...ugh...

i hear that if you smile you'll just feel happy even though you arent.

smile :D

eh...yeah it doesn't really work.

you know what i realized.

i did not talk about what i ate today.

awesome..

let's keep it that way.

time to pack..sniffle sniffle*

it was good while it lasted.

hopefully i'll have new awesome adventures at the i-house.

most likely terrible/fml stories...

but at least i have people to smile and laugh at my misfortunes

i like to think that way so i wont be as miserable :]

my last night at SK GLOBAL.

i feel like i'm breaking up with my room.

i'll never forget you room 341 <3

double bed with a balcony and private bathroom.

you were so beautiful and we had such good times.

good night.

my prize!!

Day 33

10:20 am.

why is my alarm ringing?

i dont have class until 4pm!!!

i totally forgot about the group meeting for our poli presentation -____-

ahh. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. ah.

actually. i'm kind of glad i'm awake.

i was having a nightmare.

Top and Taeyang were fighting over me.

haha i know right.... i should have been like i wish. don't ever wake me up.

but some reason...it felt like a nightmare.

i dont even bother to change for this meeting.

i got way too little sleep to even care.

glasses and polka dot pjs. nice

our topic. geneva agreements.

we all dont have a clue to what that is...

our meeting = talking about how we don't know what to do

and rescheduling for next week.

mmmm great meeting guys. thanks for waking me up for this.

zombie walk back to my bed.

and pass out...

when i wake up its past 4.

crap korean class has already started.

i already missed too many hours so i really need to go.

but i need to shower.

shower and then run to class. no time for elevator.

run up 5 flights of stairs.

worst. decision. ever.

walk into class. can't even talk so out of breath.

sit down next to chris take the cup on his desk and down it.

chris.....what are you doin sippin on hot chocolate...

such a little girl...

after class erick and i try to suck up to the teacher.

ask her what kind of food she likes.

but it backfires cause instead. she yells at us for talking so much.

we weren't even sitting next to each other today...

and then she gives me a warning cause i missed too many classes ^^"

stone face. i will crack you and make you into a sunshine person.

erick told me something interesting today.

he says that 80% percent of the time i'm thinking about food

and 65% of the time i'm talking about food.

i was going to say shutup. but then i realized that this is actually very true.

and the percentages are kinda accurate...

sigh.... i will try to work on this. and fill my life with more important things.

maybe! i'll even go on a fast. i said maybe...

for dinner. i wont say what i ate cause its not important.

but if you really must know. i got a cheese baguette.

and also ate some of chad's chicken and chris's pasta.

i have a disease...

afterwards more food with jay -____-

i really need to stop hanging out with this kid.

my chubby cheeks are expanding at rapid rates.

at the food place. we kept seeing sally's name everywhere

and we were like john that's a sign. and then more crazy coincidence stuff happened

and then john was blushing. and then at that moment the wedding song started playing.

ohhhh snap. destinyyyyyyy.

hahaha jkjk i'll stop. good times..

but no really. destinnyyyy tralalalala

then arcade! ah yes i feel like a kid again.

emma and i get so absorbed in this candy machine.

like we can buy the candy for so much cheaper.

but its like we must spend all our money winning it or else.

then we watch world invasion: battle of la.

i'm not very observant but even i got that this movie is so marine propaganda.

i would have ate that breakfast.

on the way back we decide to go through the rape tunnel!

basically the most sketch tunnel you will ever walk through.

not a good idea right after you just saw an alien invasion movie.

it smelled really bad...

like rotting aliens..

goodnight world.

stay safe.

Day 32

1:30 pm my film class discussion meeting.

so the teacher knows we're actually playing attention in the movies

and doing our readings...

mm....must use my former poli sci bsing skills

1:40pm i arrive.

they are already in deep discussion.

sit there and listen for awhile then the teacher asks me if i have anything to add to the discussion.

crap.

i like the film teacher. she seems pretty chill so i go with the honest approach.

i tell her that honestly i don't want to have to analyze the films

i like just being entertained when i watch stuff. i know its sorta wrong and blame today's society for mind dumbing us but that's how it is (that's why we have intelligent people like emma :] who are unaffected by this phenomenon and can watch films critically)

and also i'm aware of certain things but i just don't pick up on the subtle hints and understand the 'deeper meanings' of the symbols in the movies.

(except that avatar totally copied pocahontas. that was really obvious..)

thankfully this makes her smile :]

now time to watch the movie.

we watch JSA. (about north-south korean stuff)

it's funny but sad at the same time.

korean people. i think its just korean people that say this?

have a saying that if you cry and laugh at the same time.

you grow hair on your butthole...

yes i really hope this is not true...

everytime i watch some sort of documentary/movie

about north and south korea it just gets to me.

i guess its because i'm korean but i was born in the states.

i'm neither north or south.

just korean.

its funny how humans can make a huge deal over a perceived boundary.

like 2 brothers sharing a room. and drawing a line in the middle.

and constantly fighting over that line.

i know its not as simple as that.

but i just wish they could just stop fighting over the line

and realize that they are brothers.

korean reading day.

i have learned how to make it more bearable.

skip the second half of class to go eat :D

i tell the teacher straight up.

and she says okay cause if leave erick will be quiet for the rest of class.

haahahahahaa. shweeet.

KFC!

why is it snowing outside -__________-

and then raining.

i want you warm sunshine rays of spring!

jay and i eat a whole friggin family meal

and then add 2 biscuits and fries to that.

this could feed a family of 5 for a week...

i am a chicken killer.

afterwards i meet up with my EMMAUS familia group.

we go to eat some more -_______-

whyy oh whyyy.

the place we go to is so cute! it's like an indoor garden thing.

with fake grass. and a cute cow in the front of the building.

i like it alot. it seems like a good place for meditating.

which i dont do...but i would do it in this place if i did. 

after dinner. icecream.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. STOP THAT.

we have some awesome girl talk.

learned some good stuff from our familia mother Tina.

i like this whole fellowshiping thing.

so real.

i think alot of christians focus too much on rules and forget to be real.

which turns others away from christianity.

when its really the best thing in life.

keep it real my brothers and sisters.

when i get back its time to work out!

except treadmills are all full :[

float up and down on this weird machine

and pretend to do this leg working out thing on this other machine for a bit.

finally one opens up :D me and this other girl jump for it.

but she is really nice and lets me have it.

i feel kind bad cause i feel like me being on the treadmill is a waste...

first of all i'm in a dress, sweater, leggings, and flipflops

the girl on my left is like this tall skinny gazelle

and the girl on my right is this short chubby rabbit

their speed is 8.5 and 9

i'm the average one in the middle. speed 4.5

i guess that makes me the turtle?

mmmm but hey slow and steady wins the race. mwhahaha

after working out.

jay hits me up cause he's hungry again

this is UNBELIEVABLE. more food! no. no i refuse

i'm so easily persuaded....

try to order mcdonalds but they dont deliver when its raining.

so its the good ol' gs 24 hour convenient store.

i notice that jay eats really fast. like he's been starving for a week.
but obviously not after kfc today..

i ask him why he eats so fast.

"my sister used to be fat. so if you don't eat fast you don't eat at all."

HAHAHAAHAHA.
it would have been funnier if i didn't almost choke on my food.

afterwards read will ferrell's tweets. hahaah they are so hilarious

and so are 50cents...

and watch get him to the greek.

that movie is hilarious too.

i like laughing.

yeah.....

its like 5 am. how do i do this.

sigh.....

good night :D

Day 31

in my dream i slept through my alarm.

and then floated over to a farm and was petting sheep

and riding on these these giant chubby rabbits

then i'm woken up by my real alarm.

ughhhhhhh 10:30am so hard.

i can do it. i can get out of bed.

i already missed the first hour of class so i have to get up for the second hour.

sneak into class.

do hand motion communication with james across the room.

yes! he remembered to check my name on the attendance sheet.

give him big smile and heart sign.

yeah i think he got my message of gratitude.

for the next hour of my politics class.

its discussion and asking questions. ahh i hate discussions.

whole time i filled my notebook page with my analysis of Political Science majors.

its pretty long but here's some snibits from it.

"Polisci majors...act like they are all smart and nerdy but they are crazy freaks (in terms of hardcore partying)

Country is going to run by these people...oh my.."

"Polisci majors love to criticize/ argue. if there is no arguing they will die"

"Polisci majors love speaking/asking questions...I wonder if they are actually interested in the answer or if they just want to sound smart"

"Polisci majors are the masters at bsing..."

btw. i'm no longer a polisci major :D decided to change to psych 2 days ago

i made a chart of how i'm totally the opposite of a polisci major. don't know why i kept it as my major for this long..

Me                                            Polisci majors

objective                                    pretend to be objective only to argue their biased views

super chill                                  overachievers

try to be honest                          full of bs

go with the flow                          leaders/make change

need motivation                          highly motivated

hate speaking                             love speaking

don't like arguing                        love arguing

after politics its my wed lunch with cheeia!

i get lots of garlic bread. love garlic bread <3

and we girl talk.

girls think too much. we need to stop that.

then its off to Topics.

end up only get one wrong on the quiz :D

chad (the white boy) is the only one who gets zero wrong -__-

grandma teacher is all like oooh i'm so impressed you get to go on a date with me.

i'm very sad. i want to go on a date with her too!

i express my discontent. and she says i can tag along too.

yay...

korean class with stone face!

before class erick and i make a bet about the sweatshirt.

(erick told stone face that her sweatshirt was cute and she's been wearing it for the past 3 classes)

i say she'll wear it again. he says no.

loser buys a shanghai chicken burger. (apparently the most delicious thing?)

she decides to break the trend today. awww man.....
erick knows his ladies too well...

today in class we actually get to play a game!

we're all into it and tied with the other team.

and then my team wins by one point cause the girl on the other team accidently blurted the answer for us.

and now her team hates her. but we love her.

and i love her cause she's so silly. haha that's like something i would do. but i didnt.

cause i didn't know any of the answers...

anyways i suggested the losing team buy us banana milk. nice.

after class i get a text from erick.

he was being a trouble maker again today

and he says the teacher talked to him after class

and asked him why he talks to me so much and if he likes me.

oh em gee......seriously she is so..ahhhh..she's gunna fail me o.O

i will sit very far from erick next class...

for dinner the c's drag me along on their conquest.

wait for chris to fix his phone.

and then we go to pizza hut!

everythang was so spicy! i was dying.

there's this guy who worked there who looks like that pottery cute guy from boys over flowers!

ahh he's so cute :D

i was giving him my water cup to refill and he shocked me. and i said ow! and he said oh sorry ^^"

ahh that is what i call electrifying chemistry right there. best 5 sec of my day...

after dinner

help chris pick out shoes. get so happy when people buy things.

then workout time!

(walking on treadmill for 20min cause i did not have my personal trainer today...)

oh yeah i said i'll mention this...

so hopefully you saw the heinous pic of me jay drew on the napkin from the previous blog.

and the masterpiece pic i drew of him.

well mister jay! today gets the sniffles and decides to "accidently" blow his nose on my masterpiece drawing...

the injustice...

i have been awake for more than 15 hours now.

so i really must sleep. good night :D

waiting at the phone place for chris. pre-picture trying to make my eyes bigger

i don't think it worked very well..

Day 30

3pm is the perfect wake up time.

today is korean reading day. nooooooooo

so boring. our class is so quiet and we are forced to listen

to the other class laughing so loudly and having fun.

its quite depressing.

we sit there and do our work in silence

i just copy the answers from the back of the book.

teacher thinks im so smart. but my handwriting is so ugly.

she asks why i can't write as pretty as my face.

whoa. wait a min. is she trying to insult me but throwing me off at the same time with a compliment?

well played teacher. well played.

pre-dinner. chicken burger :D

tues nights is EMMAUS nights!

today Jay decides to tag along YAY jay :D

mmm message today was very powerful.

i liked it alot it was the word of God. amen. preach it brother

the speaker Danny Kim talked about the passage of the prodigal son.

the rebellious son returning to his father.

that's like one of my fav passages.

he talked about how when he was younger.

he was so freaked out about what happens after death.

what happens to us. if there really is a heaven and if he would go there.

he also told some very encouraging evangelism stories.

but the part i liked the most. was about how God gives you a purpose and a destiny in life.

i think i was seven years old when i started to question why i was here on earth.

what i was living for. i mean cause it would be so sad if you just lived to have fun and hope for the best.

so pointless...

the world feeds you lies. tries to make you forget about your purpose. tries to get you to stop thinking and questioning the meaning of life. but dont give in

the two people i mentioned in yesterday's post.

I know that they have such a strong purpose and a great destiny.

haha sounds kinda cliche.... but no really.

i think they really wonder about it and want to find it.

if you are reading this. and you know i'm talking about you.

then come find me and talk to me.

and it will be certain that this knowledge comes not from the wisdom of the earth but from above and the truth will be revealed.

anyways after EMMAUS. real dinner ofcourse

cheese chicken stuff. ahhh it was so beautiful.

so regretting not bringing my camera so you guys can drool at it.

after dinner. bubble tea yayyyy

and hodok (korean pancakes)

and then more food! sigh.....

whyyy. does all the fat go to my face cheeks.

we order mcdonalds again.

i steal chris's mcchicken and fries and drink.

and leave him with my stale chicken strips

ahh chris has no emotions so i can just do whatever.

i love it.

borrow james's book cause i still haven't bought mine yet...

and try to study for tomorrow's Topics quiz.

i dont understand the concept of studying anymore.

end up crumpling my notes.

jay and i start drawing on our napkins.

and we get the stupid idea to draw each other...

my drawing is actually decent!

but then...... >:[

jay's drawing of me is sooooo ugly and alien looking.

chad and chris are shrieking like girls with laughter

agh. stupid boys.

chad has the pics of our napkin drawings..

i'll post it up later when he does sigh...

sacrifice my pride for humor.

must wake up at normal time tomorrow.

eeeeeeeek. 10 am.

suppose to be 9am but James says he'll check attendance for me mwahahaha.

good night >:]

Day 29

wake up to my pokemon alarm at 12:15pm

marmarmar...why is my alarm set for so early.

class doesnt start until 2...

reset my alarm for 1:15 and fall back asleep.

2:06pm running for class.

its okay though i'm not that late.

burst into class and have to hop over desks to get a seat.

create such a ruckus....eh....my b.

ask someone if the teacher took attendance yet

yeah...awhile ago. why are you so late.

i'm not that late...

class started an hour ago..

WHAT?! wait what time does class start.

omg..omg wow....are you serious. at 1

-______-;; ah.....i thought it started at 2..

third week of school. i need to get my act together..

two people have told me this week that they feel stupider around me TT.TT

hey...i like to call it organized chaos. it makes sense when you put it together.

cause you see! somehow my subconscious knew that the first half of class would be boring lecture.

and the second half of class would be fun movie time.

and i still get credit for coming to class late cause i explained my confusion to the teacher.

and she marked me present :D

that is what i call. mutual respect.

i love you old grandma teacher.

today i had korean class with stone face teacher.

Erick and i have a theory that she has a crush on him.

he told her oneday that her sweatshirt was cute.

and she's been wearing that sweatshirt for the past 3 classes...

then we giggle a bit too loudly about this theory

so stone face stops class to yell at us and asks us if we are going out.

ah... look at that death glare of jealously. erick are you trying to get me killed.

eventually she makes him move to the other side of room.

puahahaha. what a trouble maker...

after korean i wait patiently for my 8:30 dinner plans.

while i'm waiting i watch salt.

heard it was not that good but i really like angelina jolie so i watch it

she's so coool. i like her character in this movie.

so noble and knows the meaning of pain.

for dinner we go to this japanese restaurant.

tina brings a cake and i ask her why.

she says her and gina are going to eat it later.

oooh let me join on this cake eating thing. i like their style.

but then surprise surprise.

its a belated birthday cake for me and chad. yay :D

i love my girls so much.

cheeia pays for my dinner. i really love this girl.

the way into my heart is food.

after dinner i get this crazy idea to workout.

maybe its cause i've been gaining weight on this trip -___-

as soon as i hit the treadmill (this time not in my flip flops but adidas slippers)

i try to play music on my ipod but its dead...

ahh crap. let me just pretend to listen to music to be cool.

i really dont know what to do with the rest of the machines here.

so i have designated jay as my personal trainer.

he makes me and tina do this arm fat getting rid of stuff. nice.

HAHAAHAHAHAHA speaking of jay and tina.

i must tell a hilarious story. that jay told me while i was drinking stuff.

do not make me laugh while im drinking stuff.

cause i will projectile that stuff all over the place.

yes. that is what happened.

but anyways the story.

so at the gym there is the weigher machine. a scale.

and so tina steps on the scale. but jay creeps behind her and puts his foot on the scale.

so the number was like climbing. and tina got so scared.

cause she's all like how did i get this fat!

but the part that made it really funny for me. is cause tina this girl i love her. she's so hood.

and she does this head bob thing when she talks. so i was just imagining her on the scale like "oh no" head bob "oh no it didn just go up some more"

hahahaahhaa tina i love you :D

i step on the scale too today.

and jay does the same trick on me!

and somehow....i fall for it too.

not cool. not cool man.

don't mess with a girl's weight.

before we leave the gym we also discover this luvhandle jiggling machine!

oh this is going to be my favorite machine.

just stand there while it jiggles your fat. nice.

what a successful day.

before i sleep though i just have one more thing to say.

i have met alot of awesome people on this trip.

but 2 people especially stick out to me.

there is something very special about these 2 people.

and they are capable of influencing the lives of many.

i will be praying for them. that they may find their destiny here.

that is all :D

goodnight!

birthday cake!

Day 28

there is no rising and shining this morning..

cause i'm still awake from last night

cannot sleep crammed in this room

with all this whispering AHEM ;D

steal jay's iphone and kill zombies :]

and then add to the whispering with some quality life talk with emma.

9:20am start to fall asleep

cause the girls next to me woke up and left

and now i can stretch my legs! yay

9:30 am. about to enter the sleep world

when someone turns on the lights

and tells us it's time to leave.

whyyyyyyyyyyyy

get on the bus and fall asleep as soon as it departs.

wake up cause someone is screaming about how its snowing?

and then i think the bus almost got into an accident..

or am i dreaming...

the bus drops us off on campus but its so far from the dorms..

i'm day dreaming about riding back to the dorms in a taxi.

tehehe that would be so cool.

and then! there is taxi right in front of me

run to it with some random other genius girls with the same idea as me.

taxi driver is so nice and drives us to our dorms.

shweet. traveling around campus in a taxi. only in korea.

i tell the driver we love him.

he tells us we are pretty ^^

i hope not in a creepy way....

get back to the dorm and wait for my other slowpoke frands to come.

me, emma, and jay decide to order mcdonalds.

ohhh yeahhh in korea they deliver mcdonalds.

the awesomeness...

mcdonalds messes up our order.

but its okay. cause we get tons more food!

3 big macs, 3 fries, 16 chicken nuggets.

nice. but i'm so depressed because i cant eat that much!

cause my Foreign Toilet Syndrome has been in effect these past days.

such a good topic to discuss while eating...

i am going to stay awake today.

and not nap so it doesnt mess up my sleep schedule!

make plans to eat waffles with emma and jay

and go to the movie night avatar thingy in our dorm with cheeia.

skyping with richard so i dont fall asleep.

i haven't pulled an all-nighter since middle school.

tell richard i'm not even that tired though.

literally 5min later it hits me...

richard is telling me some crazy murder/ cannibal stories.

mmm cut up people and refrigerator mmm i see i see.

yes let me just listen over here on my bed.

oh dont worry richard i'm still listening....

yamyamyam...drifting off.

i doze off and wake back up and then doze off again.

richard is still there...

and he is playing the guitar and singing me songs :D

LADIES. he is available ;]

tall, korean guy, sorta hipstery.

let me know if you are interested.

cheeia calls and i tell her i cannot get up.

then jay calls and i tell him the same.

i think he really wants these waffles so he says he'll call me back.

yeah there is no way i'm getting out of bed....

wake up and its 1am. CRAP.

so many missed calls ^^"

sorry guys....

i cannot overcome sleep.

feel like eating

so jay and i hit up our 24 hr convenient store.

get late night ramen like a typical korean student

and have some good bro time with jay.

someone needs to bash his ego. its gotten way to high with everyone comparing him to taeyang

then we fb stalk people on the lobby computer.

scope out the lobby like every few min

make sure the person we're creepin on isnt right behind us

i feel like i shouldn't be telling people this...

aghhh its 5:12 am.

hopefully after some youtube vids.

i'll be able to fall asleep again.

goodnight?

they deliver mcdonalds!
