My Korean laundry soap smells nice

And other random thoughts from this week.

-So since I dressed like such a hussy on Wednesday, I made sure to be extra modest on Thursday. I even wore a zip up hoodie just in case. And no headband. Mrs. Kim approved of my ensemble, which I was grateful for, because Thursday happened to be our faculty picture day! Boo.yah.

I wish you all could've seen how awesome this experience was for me. All us teachers went outside (keep in mind this means no teachers inside with students-yeah. poorly timed photo session in my opinion) and did the typical class photo. To say that I stood out among the 40 or so other teachers would be an understatement. I seriously hope I get a copy. It needs to be shared with the world.

-Today I had my first inappropriate comment in class!! Do not read further if you get uncomfortable easy (which, if you do, I am surprised you are my friend. And if you are a relative you have no choice).

I walk into my last class of the day and I can tell its going to be a wild ride. This middle table of boys is especially rambunctious. As I am about to start my lesson, one of these middle table boys randomly says to me, "My dog is named Penis".

Wait? Did he really just say that?

Yes. Yes he did.

Inside I was laughing. A lot. He was obviously saying this to get a reaction from me.
So I did not give him what he wanted. Lets not forget how good I am at keeping a straight face. I simply looked away and began my lesson. But really. That's funny.

-The other day I watched a video about how famous people are getting the swine flu and blah blah blah. I wouldn't normally watch this video, except CNN is very good at what they do and put the headline as "Backstreet Boy and other celebrities get the swine flu" (or something like that). I have a strict code to watch/listen/read anything regarding BSB. Turns out Brian Lattrell looks like a pansy when he gets sick (they showed a clip he put on youtube apologizing for not being able to go to some appearance. boring). Anyways, he looked gross.

Naturally, this means Brian Lattrell showed up in my dreams the following night. He looked like he did in the swine flu video. It was the worst BSB dream appearance I've ever had. Goo.

-No really, this laundry soap smells divine. And since the washing machine is all in Korean, I have no idea what cycle I put this load through.

-I'm working on two Beyonce dances: Sweet Dreams and, of course, Single Ladies. I'm going to be a hit at parties.

-I found out my inside shoes at school are actually shower shoes. I'm just one fashion faux pas after another. It doesn't really bother me, but COT says it sounds funny when I walk. Which is code for, "Get a new pair of inside shoes Cindy"

-This city has the best sunsets. Feels good to be in Korea.

Another confession

(this isn't about the same subject matter as before) A lot of the time when I meet people I feel like I know them from somewhere. A good percentage of the time I realize the only way I know them is that they resemble one of the characters on the classic board game Guess Who? Does this happen to anyone else?!?!

Recent Obsession Flair-ups

You know how there are some things that you love so much and you experience these things a ton but then after awhile they just seem to fade out? But then some time passes and you almost rediscover these things with new eyes and obsess over them again almost worse than the first time? This has recently happened to me with a few things. They include: Elton John Tater Tots Seinfeld Showering Grape Juice Thats it. PS: (Did you know?!) Thanks to Dare-bear-stare for helping me learn that my own Denver International Airport is the largest airport in the U.S. at 53 square miles! Props to Denver yet again!

Take Home Chef Wannabe

So once upon a time my friend Jeff and I made up our own little tradition. We called it "Friday Picture" and each Friday we would walk around campus and take a picture with the most awkward/awesome/unique looking individual we could find. It was something I looked forward to every week, and we would constantly surprise ourselves with the kind of people we'd see walking around BYU. A lot of weridos there. One day we decided to meander through the library to see if there was anyone extra special for our Friday Picture. Boyyy, did we find that special person! World, meet Take Home Chef Lookalike. I saw him and I couldn't believe the similarities. The striking features. The blond, pointy hair. We even found some silverware to make the photo more true to life. ( The real Curtis Stone ) Try to tell me they don't look alike. Just try. I think the best part of the story is that Jeff's girlfriend at the time (now wife) had dated Take Home Chef-a-like. And we di...
