hello hello i'm on break from teaching a 100 minute class right now. sounds grown up right? eh, it's not hard. i'm loving it here actually. i can't believe i'm living on my own in another freakin country. when i think about it i get happy. i feel like i'm not wasting my time. it's a great feeling. and i have a feeling it will be very rewarding.
the first thing i notice when i got here is how well everyone takes care of themselves. appearance is almost top priority for most people. it is kind of nice. but it can be very vain. there are so many beautiful girls here, but they almost all have had plastic surgery. not boobs like america, but nose and eyes and other face stuff. they try to look more western. it's crazy. i've gotten compliments on my face being small. one girl said "i can fit your face in the palm of my hand" i was like what?! and then i found out that they like small faces, more prominent noses and round eyes. crazy. so many people would be lucky to look as pretty as most koreans do when they're born.
but oh well. i love it here. i can't wait for my friends to come visit. it's going to be so much fun. there are almost TOO many things to do. it sucks i can't go out during the week. but it's nice to feel like an adult sometimes.
who am i kidding, i miss getting trashed everyday. going downtown and knowing that most of your friends will be there. i miss it everytime i talk to someone that is out at home.
well i got to get back.
