Last week of term

Well well well. You blink and a term goes by. Why did it feel so damn long when I was a student? WAIT A MOMENT! I have only been here half a term, that's why. :)

My students are so attentive and take down everything I write on the board. It is amazing. Poor things, most will still flunk the exams.

I have taken up a very exciting new hobby. It is music related but that is all I can say as it is a surprise for my hubby. I spend a lot of my time practicing and hopefully I will have the basics down soon.

I am also painting. In fact my place is adorned with my watercolours. I soon got bored of the 5x7 watercolor paper and went out and got me 10x12. Exciting new dimension.

Well, Yoli, my Mac computer, went to the doctor and came home much the same. I had to spend a lot of time on Yoli to make her work like she used to. I wish I could buy myself a new mac laptop but the are CHAH-CHING Pricy! Not too bad here, but still expensive. :(

Oh, well I will have to watch choppy streaming videos, and now CNN is back- it mysteriously disappeared for three weeks and I went into a bit of a frenzy as Yoli was at the shop at the same time. WAAAAAAAAAAY too much silence here for my taste.

Regardless, there you have it. Things are looking up. I am applying to Veterinary school (undergrad first) and am commiting the next 7 years of my life to school AGAIN! God help us.

slowly coming around

When in a strange land, it is very important to find things that make you feel homey. For me, being able to cook food that I cook at home is extremely important and so having the right groceries becomes a misssion.

Shahen always used to get angry with me at the supermarkets because I would buy way too much, but now I think it is due to the thrill of having everything I need at my fingertips. Here, you have to visit three of four supermarkets, not to mention another city to get what you want.

Hence, a trip to Costco is planned fot late November/ early December.

Yesterday, I found a few things that made me smile, and I got a bargain which was even better. In my fridge there is now Cheddar cheese, Hamburger patty (yes just bought one as it was a new concoction at E-mart and I have to do a taste test, hamburger buns (6 for 80 cents! Gotta love that- but they are truly McDonalds style- completely devoid of any nutritional value- still had to have em!) Head lettuce, Cabbage, and hoison sauce!

This weekend Kim and I are going to Seoul again like the good old days, and though I am sportin a cold (like the good old days) I am still going. Just need to dress warm and take the strange pills the pharmacist lady gave me.

OK, Off to class.

Oh, someone called me at 3 or 4 am. Pick the high numbers folks...7 and higher!
