Sick, taxis, trainees,new co-teacher, and finally my…

Ok so last week I had the sniffles and by Friday it was a pretty bad cold. I was sneezing and coughing. I felt awful. It was the last day of the co-teacher that I’ve had a lot of memorable moments within the past two months. It was also an anniversary of something dear to me, so it felt like I was losing everyone all over again. Being sick made me feel absolutely crappy. Then I met my new co-teacher which happens to be really close to my principal. Lucky right? I went to bed before 7:30pm missing all my shows that I love and cancelled my plans to hang out with Narai and Keri. I wasn’t going to make it anywhere feeling that bad. The later it got the sicker and worse I felt. 

So Saturday I felt weird staying in knowing I would normally be on the subway but I wasn’t going to risk it. The weather changes are horrible. I have to be eased into it being really hot or cold. Not one extreme one day and the next tomorrow. That will make me sick in a heartbeat. I don’t regulate temperature too well. -.-

Anyways, later Keri decided she was just going to take that long train ride over. We always hang out on the weekends. I knew I was pretty bad off when it took me more than twice the time to walk to the subway station. Anyways we walked around, found out if you want to find a chicken restaurant there are a ton around me. We didn’t want that we wanted Korean BBQ. We gave up and took the subway into Seoul. 

Ate at our normal place (I think we go there like every weekend for the past month) and just so happened to enter right before a group of JYP trainees. How do we know they were JYP trainees? The place is right there from Cube and JYP, so it doesn’t even take 3 minutes to walk there. And we saw them earlier outside waiting on the others. 

I love the way we see people when we are hunting food. Almost every single time it food or drink. Granted these kids aren’t kpop idols yet. Though one is on a show already. Whatever, just wanted some food. After that we went to Keri’s by taxi.

NEVER EVER AGAIN.

I was already sick and that made me feel like when I came off the plane in August. If any of you don’t know what happened when I arrived here, let’s say I couldn’t eat anything on the plane besides a little fruits along with maybe a fourth of a ham & cheese sandwich which all ended up on the side of the street somewhere in Seoul like an hour after landing. Ever since then I’ve had issues with small areas that are warm/hot and move too much. I wasn’t like that until that flight. It really messed me up. It’s like I get super hot, whatever in my stomach wants to come up, and I just happen to be in something that’s moving more than it should. I hate it. It makes me panic now which doesn’t help. Not good at all. 

Last year I was fine. That airline/flight really did something to me. >.<

The taxi driver and those speed bumps. Ugh….just thinking about it has me feeling ill. I couldn’t even keep my eyes open anymore. What makes it so bad Keri couldn’t either. I was never so happy to get out and walk. Shockingly the bar she always talks about was open. I needed something after feeling like I was going to die. So vodka and cranberry juice it was. Which was wonderful. The bartenders are sweet. I want a bar like that here. Oh well.

Anyways skipping ahead to Sunday, Keri and I went to Myeongdong I needed to buy some things from Tony Moly, Nature Republic, and the Saem. Yeah I know they are all beauty places. They each had some things I needed. After that we went to Apgujeong. We went to a cafe and just relaxed. Once we finished our drinks we walked around and then went to Donghae’s Grill5taco. I highly recommend it! 

I had the short-rib burrito set and it was so delicious! The fries taste like Arby’s curly fries which made me super happy. I’m glad it wasn’t packed like the last time we wanted to go because I got to taste some really good food. 

After all that I came back home. The train felt colder than outside. blah.

Then today I started taking a taxi to school. Which wasn’t bad, thank goodness. Less than $4 too. It was also my first day working side-by-side with the new co-teacher. I like her. I don’t know what it is, but it’s relaxing and enjoyable. I don’t feel as afraid to talk to her like my old co-teacher. Ok I wasn’t afraid of my old one, but she was pregnant and I didn’t want to bring any stress. Now I am 2 months in so there’s nothing to really ask about much. Maybe that’s why I feel more at ease. 

And…*drum rolls* FINALLY GOT MY JAEJOONG TICKET! The librarian helped me out during lunch and drove me to pick it up after school. Woo~

And I’m still sick, just not as bad. I think it’s going away finally. Also, sorry this is kinda long…had to catch up. ^^;

Until next time!
