Re:

To answer your question:
my daily routine is dependent on well...what occurs in the morning or the night before.
If i did not sleep at 3 or 4am or awaken to the sound of my phone ringing with the other end informing me to go online and webcam so that a) they can show me something or b)that i'm not cheating on them;
I wake up at around 10:30am and go straight to the gym
Work out for an hour,
come back, drink a strawberry, banana and ginseng smoothie;
walk the dog,
feed the dog,
then go straight to school by 1pm.
I do some paperwork until 1:30pm and then I eat lunch.
2pm, class
4:30pm, i have a break and eat a snack while doing paperwork or get out of the school for some fresh air.
9:20pm, school ends, get back home
have dinner (on Wednesdays, I go out to eat with Lauren)
and then right after, if I am not totally exhausted from the day or if dinner hasn't gone past 10:45pm, I go to the gym for an hour of working out.
When I get back home, I spend some TLC with my special individual and/or socialize with Shella/Lauren/Danielle,
watch TV for a little while, do some house chores;
take a shower,
read and then go to sleep...around...2am.
Then I do it aalllll over again.

Happy now?

Presently, i'm contemplating looking around for some cool places to go around Korea.
Another long weekend is coming in a few weeks and Sarah (a cool Korean teacher), Lauren, and I are planning to go on a one day trip just to enjoy the scenery...go to a cafe..go to the beach and to talk.
Sarah's really cool and random.
During one of the meetings, there was a disagreement between my supervisor and I regarding why I should be forced to eat later and Sarah..in an attempt to support me said:
"Well, she's Chinese Canadian. Food is very important to them"
I just had to stop with my mouth open...I was both offended and amused.
But I LOVE that explanation now.
Sarah was totally embarrassed and explained that one of her Chinese friends informed her about the importance of food to the Chinese and she informed her friend about what she said..and he told her how stupid her comment was.
But it amuses me now and I try to use that excuse as much as possible,
not to embarrass her, mind you, but b/c i absolutely LOVE it now.
her randomness and eccentricities are great and I really enjoy her company.

Speaking of Korean teachers, one awesome Korean teacher, who's a preschool teacher really reminds me of one of my favorite highschool friends: Brenda Ham.
They look, act and talk almost exactly the same.
They just make me smile.
So everytime I talk or look at her, I always see Brenda, and it brings a smile to my face.
I spoke to Brenda a few weeks ago online.
We haven't spoken to one another for a few years,
it was pretty cool learning about what she's been up to.
She surprised me though with a comment she made regarding me...
that despite not having seen or spoken to her for a lengthy amount of time,
she thought of me as such after learning I've been travelling and plan on travelling for the next few years:

brenda says:
yeah, a person like you with so much passion, u need to explore the world

this comment resonated in my head for the following days.
It surprised me because I couldn't believe she saw that and thought of me like that...
It made me happy.


Alright, i'm ending this on a good note.
Adieu and goodnight...or to many: good morning
