Well, I don’t know why, but I COULD NOT stay awake in Korean class today. It’s just too early to learn a language. So afterwards, I skipped lunch and went directly back to my room to sleep. I happened to (accidentally) sleep through my next class (English). But I wasn’t too upset about it because I knew we weren’t doing anything important in that class today. But I made sure to wake up for my next class because I had to present part of the powerpoint presentation.
It’s the last class for my Religion course. My group was the second to last group to present. Surprisingly, despite the fact that it’s a large class, I felt no qualms presenting. I think it was because everyone in the room was staring at me with bored expressions, even the professor. Everyone was totally bored and uninterested so it really wasn’t that intimidating lol. No one wanted to be there haha. Afterwards, I went with Kayla to get a crepe. Either they saw me coming, are psychic, or happened to be making one for themselves, but when I got to the crepe place they already had a small nutella banana one finished (which is what I wanted) so they gave it to me and laughed. lol Awesomesauce. I ate it in the park with Kayla. Then I got some hot chai bubble tea. It tasted strange though. At first it had an earl grey tea taste to it but then it just had this curious flavor.
We hung out in the I-House lounge for a little while, chatting. Until I noticed that my bubble tea was purple. You know what flavor of bubble tea is purple? Taro. I’m allergic to taro. Oh dear. I tried to convince myself it wasn’t taro but it did start giving me the headache and backache that taro gives me. I told myself it was psychological and made Kayla distract me. Eventually, I went back to my room to charge my iPod for a while before going out for dinner. I must have been well distracted, because I didn’t feel as horrible as I usually do after drinking taro. Kayla must be my good-luck charm.
She got a crepe first then we went to Sinchon for Burger King (since she was craving it). But it was SO COLD. SO COLD! Every person we passed by said “chua!” (‘cold’ in Korean). lol We were all freezing!
We hung out in Burger King for a while (as always) and chatted about a lot of things. At some point, this Korean guy and girl came up to us and asked if they could ask us some questions. We said yeah sure and invited them to sit down with us. I guess they’re part of some musical group and doing some survey that needs answers from foreigners. Not totally sure, actually, but they asked us a lot of questions about Christmas and stuff. It was funny because the woman kept switching to Korean when she didn’t know how to say it in English. And she did that for a while until she finally said “Wait! Do you know Korean?” lol it was adorable. Funny thing though, I’m glad she was speaking Konglish (Korean and English). Her English was pretty good but she had a very thick Korean accent so I understood her better when she said things in Korean. The guy had a really unique (and cute) face. He also seemed very sweet. Nice people. We exchanged KakaoTalk contacts and she said she’d ask more questions via there. =P
I messaged Max to see what he was up to, and it turned out he’s been sick all day! Poor thing! So on our way home, I stopped in the convenience store to get him some saltine crackers and ginger ale since he told me he was really hungry but shouldn’t eat because he’s been throwing up. But I couldn’t get a hold of him when I got back to my room to figure out his room number. So hopefully I’ll be able to deliver the goods tomorrow. And hopefully he’ll feel better by then. ^^
Well, now I’m going to bed. I’m not actually tired but I feel like I’m keeping my roommate up with my computer shining light into the room.
