| is my school...for who knows how long? Apparently, there's been a couple of cases of swine flu going around. My co-teacher, who I share an office with and that I am in constant contact with, may possibly have swine flu. However, teachers are still required to come out to school, which I would have had a problem with but my mom, brother and his gf are partying away at Jejudo, so I guess I may as well be at school.
I had this random nightmare last night that I went to North Korea with my family. My mom was going to be executed for the government for trying to barter for this plastic water bottle that I wanted. It was a crazy dream, and it left me with confusion and a headache.
Btw, Koreans love Ranch and stuff from America. It's like you're giving them GOLD!

| The weather is starting to remind me how it felt when I first got to Korea. Not good...NG NG (I know it's a FOB abbreviation but I can't stop).
I need to buy winter clothes but I HATE shopping...I was reminded as to how much I hate it when I went to Myung Dong on a Saturday evening. The WORST idea ever.
I bought a George Foreman grill! So excited! I remember watching the infomercial late at night and wishing I could have it...and now I do! A dream come true! hahaha..I can't wait to try out different recipes using chicken. If anyone has any recommendations, holla back, por favor.
I'm sad that my mom's sick. =( She was supposed to be here on Wednesday, but she can't come because of her cold. Bad timing. =(
Although I am somewhat content here in Korea, there are certain things that I miss from back home...like central heating and chipotle. mMMMm...chipotle...that lime-cilantro rice...barbacoa...I think that may be my first meal when I get back to the states. I will hold out for it...no joke.

| We celebrated Jubilee's third anniversary this past weekend. Seriously, praise God for His faithfulness and blessings that are so evident in our church.
There are many reasons to sing, but my complaining nature has a tendency of smushing my gratitude for even the smallest things that God has provided. Yet God is faithful and He is constant even when we are not. Thank goodness...
Been reading through Psalms and I honestly couldn't grasp the concept of such groaning and weeping because of enemies, but after WNS, it struck me so hard especially for our North Korean brothers and sisters. Let us continue to pray and be moved into action with the motivation of love.
What does it mean to fear the Lord? What does that look like?

| So, all you ladies in Korea, LOCK YOUR DOORS!
On Saturday morning around 6 o clock, someone tried to open my door. I was awake (don't ask)..and I heard that person slowly and purposefully try to open it. I have to admit...it freaked me out especially with the fact that I work out sometimes around that time. Then, I heard that one of the girls I know who lives in my building didn't lock her door that SAME NIGHT and some creepy man tried to climb into bed with her! Luckily, she made a huge racket and the guy ran out...but omg...
I keep hearing more and more things about how unsafe it is for young single women these days...no joke. I didn't realize it before...but my area is pretty shady...I mean, I knew it was shady but for some reason, I never connected it to being dangerous...I don't know why. Anyhoo...be very aware of your surroundings, girls. Not just in Korea, but back in the States too (or Canada...can't forget you Canadians. ;) )
So, paranoia aside...haha...
No more jejudo. It just didn't work out. =( There may be a better alternative...who knows?
I'm thinking of getting an itouch...is it worth it? I keep asking myself that...but I think it's bc I'm trying to convince myself to get it. I know there are all these great things about it, but I also know that it's not something that I need! Do I need one more thing to distract myself? Hmm...
I had a dream that I had my own classroom and it was my first day. I was teaching 2nd grade but for some reason, my kids were huge. I had absolutely NO lesson plans or anything done. My kids were going crazy and running around some gym. I had nothing planned and all these volunteers had to come into my classroom...like the P.E. coach and stuff...I felt like such a failure..it really was a nightmare...I woke up really afraid to teach. Haha..
I was trying to do some sit ups today...and I realized how much I miss carpet. It makes such a big difference. Or maybe I just suck at exercising. Oh, and I found out that my cholesterol is going up. My doctor recommended for me to exercise 5 times a week! 5 times! Oh dear.
