It totally just sucks lately because I have nothing to do when I'm at work. Everyone else has class and I'm just in my office alone with nothing to do. I'm on my computer all day, or at least until I have to go to class. I check facebook, popsugar, my e-mails, and a bunch of blogs constantly. It totally sucks when I've run out of shows to watch too. I feel like such a loser.

Dick-tation
So there's something that I haven't mentioned yet. Lately, I've made a spectacular discovery. DICK-tation. It's my new life style. I just show people who's boss by tagging a dick and adding tation. I usually go around and tag a couple homs everyday. It's really satisfying and empowering. I also say "Miss" or "Sir" or "no offense" after everything I say because it just makes whatever I say polite. For example, when someone offends me I'll say "Puck you Miss!" That's so great because Puck isn't even a real curse word and Miss makes it seem polite. Another example, when I talk crap about someone, "she's the most fugly thing I've ever seen in my life, no offense." These are really great examples of how to be really hot. Talking like this just makes you a lot more interesting and really hot. It's hot to be a bitch sometimes, right? It distinguishes you from the fug girls, no offense.

Filming Jane
I had the most interesting feeling the other day. I got up from my bed and walked into the kitchen where I opened the fridge and took out the orange juice. I unscrewed the cap and gulped the sweet, tangy fluid straight from the carton. I was standing in the kitchen looking messy, curly-haired, with my underwear on, no pants, drinking from the orange juice carton. I felt like I was being filmed. I was a character in a film, not just Jane. Jane alone. Jane alone in her own apartment. Jane alone in her own apartment far away, thousands of miles away, from the people who know her and see her. I felt... emancipated. Free to leave the apartment completely a dump. Free to not make my bed in the morning. Free to walk around in my underwear. Free to drink right out of the carton. No cups or plates or utensils necessary in this new lifestyle. Hands and fingers all the way. Just kidding, but I did feel free. The feeling was both good and bad. The good is that no one will say or even know what you're doing and how free you are because you don't know anyone. The bad is that you feel terrible and sloppy and gross for letting yourself be that way.

Goals : FAILED
So, I had a lot of expectations for Korea.
I thought that I would lose tons of weight with all of the walking. I thought that Koreans didn't eat fattening foods and so my diet would also change into a non-fat one. WRONG. I haven't been walking that much, because public transportation is so convenient. I've been taking the buses, and if I get tired of waiting for the bus, I just get in a cab - pricier, but conveniet. I guess I'm American through and through. I can't trade comfort for anything.
Also, I'm always hungry here! I don't even eat healthy. I've been to McDonald's a few times and I eat ice cream ALL the livelong day! Weight loss: FAIL
I also thought that my skin would become smooth and clear because Korean girls have really great skin! I've been sweating so much all the time that my skin has no chance to breathe or be clean! I was sweating so much that someone bought me ice cream once. I guess the bug bites don't really fit in with clear skin either. Great skin: FAIL
Another wish was for my hair to grow fast. I was going to look for vitamins to promote hair growth. I was sure that health-crazed Koreans would definitely have them. Well... they probably do, but no one understands what I'm saying when I ask. I have no idea how to ask. Long Hair: FAIL
I thought my Korean was going to get so much better and that Koreans would be impressed by the Korean that I already know. WRONG. When I ask for things in Korean or I ask about things or basically ask anything, people give me this strange look, like they think I'm crazy or really stupid or something or they think I have something in my mouth and can't say something properly. Most say "moragoyo? mollayo!!!" (what? I don't know!) Some people just shake their hands or wave, signing that they don't know, even before I ask the question! Great Korean: Failed
Well... my expectations have failed as of now. Hopefully I'll be able to fulfill some of those goals. Lunch time calls - my favorite part of the day, at school at least.

Diarrhea...Oh my.
5 A.M. this morning, I have a dream about my stomach grumbling and me squatting immediately. Then, my brain registers that the grumbling is a reality. I wake up and run to the bathroom.... Since then, I've been pissing out of my ass.
I couldn't even go to school today. This is like the 4th or 5th time I've been sick since entering Korea. Jane says it's chonsul to be sick here. (chonsul = unstylish... I can't think of the exact translation.) Yesterday I saw Brown Eyed Girls. They are a famous singing girl group. They're pretty good!
So I have a lot of things to post once I get internet. Right now I'm using the PC room in front of my apt. It smells so bad. Everyone is cancering my lungs right now.
