Life This Week in South Korea: April 29-May 5, 2024
Nothing much happened this week, really. I had a test and a presentation to do – that occupied my mind and mental faculties for the first half of the week. No Hyungeun Night as he was preparing for a presentation he gave at a conference on Saturday. I forget he’s a smarty smart smarty pants cuz he’s so humble. Anyway, after my test and presentation, I pretty much crashed the rest of the week, right through the 3-day weekend. I pretty much stayed in bed from Friday after school through Monday morning when I had to get presentable for a tutoring session. Til then I just lay in bed, played word games on the phone, napped, watched the kdrama I have been watching FOR. EVER. And napped some more. I’ve been sleeping poorly lately so I just felt like if I COULD sleep, I SHOULD sleep, so I just kept dozing off. It was really quite lovely.

I’m so glad that you had a long weekend for resting! You “sound” better today 🙂

Sometimes ya just need a Weekend of Sleep! Glad to see you supporting yourself more without the crutches – I hope things continue to improve on the knee front. You hair dryer butter hack is hilarious and brilliant. Isn’t the spring green terrific?? I feel like I could look at the dandelion-covered grass all day long; the pops of yellow among the green is just so happy-making.

Oh, a weekend of sleep is a beautiful thing! And good thing I had it last weekend cuz this weekend is gonna be STUDYSTUDYSTUDY for next week’s finals, gah!
I also love the yellow dandelion flowers. I think they’re every bit as charming as daisies.

A good week and lots of dozing – yay! Hope that knee continues to improve. And I have to say your hair is looking great – nice style and good condition. Here’s to another good week!

Ha, that’s so funny…I’m overdue for a haircut, just waiting for the school break…and just yesterday someone in class asked if I’d just gotten it cut cuz it looked nice.
I’m like NICE? With these flippy doops?? My bang perm is finally wearing off – it had a good run, I had it done on December 1, so 5 months. Can’t complain. I think this time, seeing the superiority of the Korean perm, I might get my whole head done…like a straightening but with some shape. It’s getting warm and I’m already getting sweat curls (ugh). I don’t know how long this lovely spring weather lasts here, but at some point heat and humidity will take over and my hair will go berserk.

The key ring was such a thoughtful gift from your teacher! That breakfast is one of the best to eat, high protein—it’s one of my favorites. The hair dryer was very creative and I loved the grand-puppeh gift–too cute. Sounds like you had a better week. And I still like the ‘get-up’. Happy Birthday to Katie!

I do think all that rest last weekend helped put me in a little better place. Plus, getting the presentation out of the way. Next week is finals and I know the anxiety will come back, but at least for a couple days I’m relatively calm and anxiety-free.
