A Fun Day!

I've had kind of a boring week so far, so it was really nice to have a fun day today! Blue and Green came round, which was the first time in almost a year that we've all three hung out together! I showed them my photos from Korea and my K-pop stash and we spent a good while nattering, which was quite refreshing. And then we watched Julie and Julia--which might be my favourite movie now after I watched it at college a couple months ago! It was a really delightful time.

I also hung out with Blue on Sunday! We were originally supposed to all have lunch, but Green had to cancel at the last minute unfortunately. Blue and I still got lunch, though, although it was at about our fifth choice restaurant since apparently everything is closed on Sunday? I've lived here my whole life and I don't remember that ever happening. Maybe it's a new trend or something? Anyways, we also went to a little bookshop, walked around, went to the city museum and got some boba! It was really fun :)

I start back at work next week! I'm not really looking forward to it :( but at least I'll be making money! Hopefully I'll make back enough to pay for A) my insane K-pop haul from Korea and B) the unreasonably high fees I got charged when I moved out of my dorm because I made the mistake--which I'll never make again--of sticking posters to dry wall. Although there were a couple charges that probably should have gone to my roommate, my parents encouraged me to take the high road (easier in this case as I would've had to argue) and not combat it. I should probably be taking the high road more often in general. Sometimes I worry that I'm too much of a bitch. I'm not one, I don't think, but it's one of those worries, you know?

I'm going to go now! I'm going to try to get into bed at a decent hour tonight, compared to the 12:30-1:00 I've been getting since getting back form

Here are this week's Friday Five! The photo of my K-pop haul from Korea is still yet to come as I'm currently organizing my mess of a room. I've taken two photos but I forgot a single album in both of them--a different one each time--and I want to post the full haul.

This week's questions:

1. What was the best gift you received?
Well, I can't remember all time right now, so I'll say my two examples from the last year. For one, I got my 2009 white MacBook (which I'm writing this on) as a gift from my mum a few months ago, although I think I'm supposed to pay her back eventually. And at Christmas this past year, I got a Verivery lightstick!

2. What was the worst gift you received?
At Christmas when I was around ten years old, I got a book called "The Guide for Young Men", which... well, obviously, not a very good gift. I think I got rid of it the second I got home, but I flipped through at the Christmas party and I remember it had guides to barbecuing and flirting with girls, neither of which are things I've ever done or have any desire to ever do.

3. What gift did you wish for, but never got?
Whenever I was around eight years old, I really wanted an iPod classic for Christmas for some reason. They were really expensive to give to an eight year old, and I think by Christmastime they had been discontinued anyway, and I only ever listened to two albums anyways--Red by Taylor Swift and the Teen Beach Movie soundtrack. And so I got a cheapo MP3 player instead, although I did end up getting an iPod classic eventually, so I guess I didn't never get it, but this is the best example i could think of.

4. What was the best present you gave?
Well, one that comes to mind is my best friend Blue's birthday present this year, or rather part of it. But I haven't actually given it yet, so I don't want to spoil it in case he's reading my blog!

5. What was the worst present you gave?
A couple years ago, for his birthday I got my friend Pink one of those romance books called "Lessons in Chemistry" or something. I think it was trending at the time and I thought he'd like it, but I've heard since that it was kind of crap, and it's definitely not anything I'd personally read.

Well, holy crap, y'all! I meant to post this weekend, but my weekend was too jam-packed!

Saturday morning, the two kids I teach English played each other in little league soccer (or whatever it's called. I may be a soccer teacher (does that exist?) but I'm not a soccer mom yet. In any case, I think I might sign my kids up for dance instead.) and since one of the members of my English teaching group is coach for one of their teams, a lot of us went out to support them! It was also a sort of team-building activity, but, y'know, an actually fun one--not a ropes course or crap like that. I HATE ROPES COURSES! Which is why I've always come up with excuses not to go on them. Ha ha ha! Anyways, one of the kids comes from Latin America, and his family had a bunch of snacks from their home country that they shared with us, which was really sweet of them! I don't remember the name, but it was some sort of special bread with chicken, mayo and some various veggies. They were so good! I even got to take one home for dinner that night.

And then as soon as I got home, two of my roommates and I went and had pizza and ice cream! It was really fun, even though I'm always at odds with one of them. I mean, with my three current roommates, I have one I love, that one I have a love-hate relationship with, and the other one that I'm just always annoyed with--but enough of airing my dirty laundry on the Internet. It was a really nice time! And I got them both to like a k-pop song--MAGO by GFRIEND, to be exact.

Then that night, a friend and I went to Wal-Mart! We're in the K-Pop Club together at our college, and we were buying some presents for two of our members, since we have one graduating and one transferring.

The next day, another friend and I went to this little Chinese restaurant in town (who had maybe the best beef and broccoli and vegetable lo mein I've ever had!!) and then went to Wal-Mart again! This time we got a prize for the activity we had planned for our meeting tonight (a Kahoot where we guessed who added what song to our group Spotify playlist) and I got some DVDs, and I got a cookie cake (because I lurrrve cookie cakes) for our meeting tonight. And then I called Blue and Green (for any newcomers to my blog, Blue is my bestie for the restie that I've known since middle school, and Green is our other best friend from high school) until pretty late.

And then there was today! We had our last k-pop club meeting of the semester tonight, and it was a little emotional. Both our leaving members really liked their gifts, which was really heartwarming! I'm gonna miss them all so much but I'm so glad I've gotten to know them. :)

(There was some more here but my browser crashed and I lost it! Grr D:< )

What can I do but dread the next two weeks? The finals countdown has begun! I have one more mini-assignment each in compuer science, linguistics and statistics, but beside that everything's in full finals swing. I already have my French final essay assignment, and I'm getting my English one tomorrow. I suppose I should start studying for statistics as well today, and computer science later on. But I'm quite tired and wish I didn't have to! But I just have to remind myself that I only have a week and a half left till I can blow this popsicle stand! I just have to power through and probably drink a lot of tea to do so.

The past few days have actually been quite good, however! The calm before the storm, I guess. Friday afternoon, I had my stats test, and I actually think I did well! And then I sat down underneath a tree and read for a while before dinner, which was absolutely idyllic! I felt like a character in a novel, almost. I hope I can catch some more moments of peace like that! I kind of did the next day, too, actually, because I went to my friend's birthday picnic! It was in this cute local park and all the food was really good. It was super fun! Although I did sunburn my nose. :(

Yesterday was pretty run-of-the-mill. I had this really cute outfit on that my pastor's wife complimented at church! She and her husband are both so sweet. I've seen their son, too--he goes to college in a different city--and I thought he was really handsome. :) Sadly, he's graduating anyways, but oh well. Anyways, my English teaching also went well yesterday--it was one of my students' birthdays and so we had a little party for him, and he gave me a few of his duplicate Pokemon cards! The girl who taught the kids before me was right when she said eventually they kind of feel like "your" kids. :)

And that brings me to today. I have to do linguistics homework and start working on my French paper--ugh! I have no clue what I'm going to write about. And there's something else I'm forgetting. And classes, and a club meeting tonight, which is the bright spot in my day, even though it's just making me even busier. But oh well. Now I should probably start paying attention to my French class again. Toodles!
