- I forgot my wallet on my yo (my sleeping blanket) on the floor of my room, because I was running late and in a hurry. So I caught a cab to school but ended up realizing I’d forgotten my wallet just in time to stop the cab and pay the guy everything but about ten cents’ worth of the fare in coins.
- One of my students, a purple-haired, long-fingernailed, oddball, declared, “I am UNDEAD!” in class. In English. During a semi-appropriate section of a speaking exercise. It was amusing. (He’s my favorite student in the class, just because I think he’s the first example of Goth I’ve seen in Korea, and because he’s a good-natured kid. Another day he declared, “My friend is vampire! I want blood!” and earned himself the English nickname “Mosquito”.)
- I discovered a student was much improved because he has been studying English like a madman. He’s the only physical education major among a gang of girls studying law and music, and he’s had a hard time of it. But he’s doing better now. If only he could come to class on time, regardless of the fact that his circle-(club-) friends are drinking coffee out in front of the building…
- I think I’m going to start swimming… probably this evening. It’s about time. I’m feeling happy that an internet friend was telling me I am a very handsome man with beautiful eyes… but she complained about my gut. It’s a small reminder of my own goal to lose a little weight…
- I had to borrow 1000 won to get home because of my forgotten wallet. Nick kindly loaned me the money…
- I discovered some kind of problem with perl on my server, which is making rebuilds crash on my web page. Which is not nice. I hope to have that sorted out by tomorrow. So until then I think the comments count for posts on my main index will be off, even though new posts show up. Maybe it’s time I just change my page to have a conditional indicating no comments or some comments… hm.
And it’s not even noon yet!
