Meet my adorable ban-chingoos

I've become an expert at procrastination working well under pressure over the years, and have come to learn that blogging is best done when you shouldn't be on the computer in the first place. 2 tests down, 4 to go! ^^

After midterms, we'll be losing our wonderful classmate George (aka "Joji," the most fluent of us all) and awesome teacher. ㅠ_ㅠ All classes switch profs so that students can experience a different learning style/method for the latter half of the quarter... in my case, whyyy mess with a good thing! : (

Naturally... this turned into a photo op. I'm so lucky to be in a country where people don't grumble (*cough* you know you who are) about pictures, but rather, often beat me to the punch, whipping out their cams with kung-fu-like-speed-reflexes. Meet my adorable ban-chingoos... ^^

George, who will someday be a world famous diplomat, best-selling author, or both, gave me a little gift he scribbled in class one day, and I thought I'd share (and I hope that's ok with him)... I've definitely learned a lot in the little time that I've known him.

Modern Sensibility

To see men sprawling

To see life faultering

To see minds thralling

To idiocy's unmindful reign

To hear hell falling

To hear the weak calling

To hear dregs hauling

To tune commerce's unyielding wheel

To feel joy fleeting

To feel time creeping

To feel like sleeping

To avoid a life nearly in vain

To taste air putrid

To taste food lucid

To think taste stupid

And embrace society's heel

To know that dreams shatter

To know that mind doesn't matter

To know that freedom can tatter

In so "modern" a world

To give you perspective

In our strange times

Well, it's high time to hit the books again.

But just for kicks, take a look at today's lunch, hwedupbap (회덥밥), rice mixed with veggies and raw fish. I'm debating whether I should turn this blog into a food diary. ; )

Finally, here's a little message from my cushion (thank you 엄마) to you...

...you know I do!
