That's probably the best I'm going to get.
Saturday, in my PN2 class, that's the phrase Boyun used, to describe me: "Teacher. You are… cool. But, um, strange, yes." I felt quite pleased – that's pretty good, to get from a rebellious and mildly obnoxious 8th grade girl, who is notorious at Karma Academy for wearing too much eye liner and for having a foul mouth (in two languages, no less).
Working Saturdays is going to take some getting used to. I've managed to reach almost 4 years in Korea without regularly doing this thing that most Koreans view as utterly inevitable. So I might as well get used to it. I never do anything with my weekends, anyway, right? But I do seem to make use of the "down time" in a sort non-productive, recuperative way.
Fortunately, today (Monday) is Korean Memorial Day. So I get a holiday. And a two-day weekend, after all. What will I do with this holiday? I might try cleaning my apartment – I feel like I'm living out of boxes… it's a little bit college-dorm-room-esque.
I went to Costco, yesterday. Anytime I feel the slightest bit homesick for life in America, I can go to Costco. It's an instant cure. And a good way to find relatively inexpensive, "real" cheese (as opposed to plasticky Korean stuff, which, although I love it dearly, I sometimes grow tired of). This time, I found some actual Swiss cheese from actual Switzerland. I also found granola. Wow. I might eat that.
