The events of the day

Today I bought a new comforter. Unfortunately due to my lackadaisical shopping habits (mixed with only a mediocre knowledge of Korean, I purchased a fitted sheet (good), one pillow case (when I need two), and a duvet cover in lieu of an actual comforter. Luckily, the weather is getting warmer and my apartment is usually really really really hot due to my 10' by 7' westward-facing window. As such I will put off purchasing a new comforter (the old one is old and gross and also has a print that will show through the white parts of my duvet cover.

In my defense, how the hell was I supposed to know the 이불커버 meant comforter cover. 이불 just sounds like evil. granted, 커버 sounds just like cover, but still. What the hell is an evil cover?

After a quick Google Search, I discovered that this, in fact, is what an Evil Cover looks like. Or at least what A Touch of Evil cover looks like.

Anyways, my new comforter is really cute (not that my old one wasn't, it just had holes in it), and it's bright so hopefully after a terrible day of school, it will cheer me up. That's the goal. It does spunk up the place nicely.

Plus, the new comforter has *almost* inspired me to actually pick up a bit around the place. Currently on my bed there is only my purse, a sweatshirt, my cell phone and me. This lowers my average amount of crap on my bed by at least 80% Of course, now everything is just sitting in piles on my coffee table. I swear once I get rid of my stupid dell laptop, I'll fix everything. Luckily that day is quickly approaching. All I have to do is find the IP address or whatever it is so I can connect my computer to the ethernet that I am paying for (instead of stealing someone else in my apartment's wireless), and transfer the remaining word documents to my macbook, and all ties to my dell will officially be cut. Then my mac will take it's rightful place upon throne: a shitty, bowed, poorly constructed, duct-taped to hell gray desk.

A wonderful morning surprise

Last night after work I got home at about 5:45, had a Chilsung Cider and two chocolate chip cookies and took a nap. I had planned on waking up an hour later to go to emart and buy some lightbulbs because the two in my bathroom blew out and I had spent the last two days without any light in my bathroom. Makes showering/make-applying/hair fixing a bit of an experience.

Unfortunately, I work up at 9:30. I checked my e-mail and facebook, texted and phone-called bekah, and then promptly went back to sleep.

You see, I've been pretty sick lately. Not deathly ill, just a fairly bad cold. Also, I bit the inside of my left cheek, and it's not healing very quickly and it hurts a lot. So I figured I would take sleep when I could. As such, when I woke up, I still had no light in my bathroom, but I was feeling quite refreshed.

Found out that my Family Mart restocked their Strawberry milk, and then got to work to discover that Ali wanted to gchat. And so we got to do video at my school and she saw some of my students and it really was pretty great. I was very happy, and all in all, it was a very good morning. Let's just hope my afternoon and evening will continue being equally great. *^^*

Sleep Deprivation and Aladdin

I am not ready to move on. From anything.

Not yet.

You know, I'm still really really stressed about work, and about tutoring and about how the hell I'm going to balance everything.

Tonight I realized that some of it must be faked. So I faked it tonight. I was so tired. I was so bored.

I had a great afternoon at the pool. It was relaxing and fun and absolutely, one-hundred percent enjoyable. Dinner (read: the last supper) was fantastic. I always love Dragonfly. I've never been and not really enjoyed myself. Tonight I had edamame, pork dumplings, chicken tempura, and tempura ice cream. Indulgent, yes. Delicious, yes. Fun, absolutely.

I think the movie afterwards just overdid it for me. I was too tired from such a long day and it lost a lot of the fun.

Plus, what the hell am I doing? I haven't prepared tutoring for tomorrow AT ALL. Plus, Thomas and I haven't planned for class this week. I'm just feeling moderately overwhelmed with stuff and I've been putting everything off by staying up till crazy hours (back to back nights: 7:15 a.m. and 5:30 a.m.) and now it's kicking my ass.

Signing off for now. Tonight will be an earlier night for me.
