Well, as my mother pointed out in my last post, the demise of my writing and speaking skills has already begun. Either that or I was terribly tired when I wrote yesterday's post.

Although, what do you expect when you're teaching kids how to speak English all day? I mean it's already hard enough for me to explain simple things like the word "before," let alone speak complete sentences without seeing all my words float in one ear and right out the other. They like to ask what common knowledge (to English speakers) words are, and I have such a hard time explaining! I'm trying my best though.

I'm basically the teacher all the students dislike right now because they thought they'd be able to get away with doing nothing in my classes, and I'm proving them wrong. One of my students even supposedly flicked me off today while I was writing something on the board. She's lucky I was already so mad at her and the class I decided just to not say anything else since the bell was about to ring. (Obviously, this was one of my older students).  I think I'm just in a bad mood and hopefully it'll go away soon, the students did not help though.

E-mart

Oh, how I love E-mart. I finally got a webcam! I also got a really cute scarf that I thought was cheaper than it really was. No wonder my bill was pretty high. I can't really complain though... I've been here a month and have hardly spent any money, so I figured I could get a few things today. Snickers were a must have. I've been having such bad cravings for Chocolate!

Things I've Seen Lately:

1. An older lady spit a ferocious lugee. Man, people do not care about spitting here. They just do it, even if someone is standing right next to them. It was insane.

2. A drunken fight outside the bar by my apartment. I'm assuming it's a bar because there's pictures of beer mugs on the window... and I'm assuming the men were drunk because they were kicking and slapping one another. They start shoving right as I walked by and two other men ran up and separated them.

3. Other foreigners in my area! They are here, and supposedly they like Starbucks. I get so excited everytime I see another foreigner... it's like "Where's Waldo?"

4. The dog with pink ears again. I can't help but feel bad for the poor thing... although, maybe it's a she and she really likes her pink ears. Who knows...

5. High heels and slow walkers. There's no way I could wear high heels and walk up and down the subway stairs every day. It'd seriously be like committing suicide. Almost all the women here wear them though, and boy do some of them practically waddle down the sidewalk. I refuse to be uncomfortable all day just to look good. Plus, there are some really cute flats. I fear mine only have about another month left with how much I walk here....

Well, that's about all. I feel like work has taken over my life this week, so maybe after the weekend I'll have more interesting stories to tell. Aquarium tomorrow? Probably. I feel like my camera needs to be put to use.

"A thing of beauty is a joy for ever. It's loveliness increases. It will never pass into nothingness but still will keep a bower quiet for us, and a sleep full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing." --the super random quote from the little notebook I bought today.
