As I look at what’s on my agenda till August, I just want to curl up and sleep away all the hassle of school and work I will endure. Heck, just looking at the next seven weeks is making me cringe with dissatisfaction.

Without weekends, when will I have time to recuperate? I guess sometime during the weekdays? I don’t know. I just feel… so… out of it. I feel like everything is hitting me in the face all at once. My classes are boring as a rock. Bible as Literature on Saturday, Hardware and Software Concepts on Sunday, and Japanese Life and Culture any days of the week.

…I already want this term to be over with. I did not enjoy my weekend classes. No. I doubt it will even get better. I shall be an eternal pessimist. Bah humbug.

Being SICK of having my natural hair colour since last November 2005, and preferring lighter colours for my hair, I went to a beauty salon in my neighbourhood and dyed it after paying the dudes $30 bucks.

End results? I like it. It’s lighter. But it’s stinkin’ orangey. It is SO not Gold Blonde like I wanted. Then again, I never get the results I want with my hair. Every time I dye it, it turns out orangey. Oh well. I still like it. I just wished it wasn’t orangey!! Orange is not my favourite colour, obviously.

I’ve discovered that stationary stores are a dangerous place for me. Apparently, I love the little trinkets and office supplies they sell there, and I go crazy.

I went to Morning Glory in Steak (Sookmyung’s Women University area, aka Sookdae Ibgu. Try saying that FAST and it sounds like Steak in Korean or Japanese pronunciation.) to buy some small magnets for my magnetic white board on my computer desk. I got sick of writing down stuff with dry erase markers, so I’ve decided to resort to writing stuff on small pieces of paper and stick it with magnets.

…Well, I found the magnets. Along with them, I bought index cards, two extra index card rings, and a little memo holder with memo papers. All that cost me 7,000 something won. About seven bucks. x_x;;

But this gave me a reason to organise my desk…so now the desk looks organised, somewhat! But good god, if I didn’t have my practical-I-need-to-save-money brain with me, I’d gone crazy in there. How sad is it that I derive pleasure from stationary stores?!

Now that I have my index cards, I plan to create flashcards and learn Japanese. Whopee…damn those characters for looking all alike to me.

Yesterday, the day of my birth, was very interesting. XD I had a fun time at SAHS, that’s for sure, and I felt loved. XD Then in the evening, it was a blast, too. Here’s a recap of yesterday.

Money, Money, Money
My mum wanted to know what I wanted for my birthday. Being the flat broke person I am and in need of paying off my phone bill, I asked for $100 bucks. I received that, and half of it went to the phone bill and the other half went to the partying section. Simple gift, and I received it.

Christmas Gag Gift and Birthday Gift
I went to SAHS, and Elizabeth gave me my belated Christmas Gag Gift and the birthday present. The birthday present was one of the bath set thing (lotion, shower gel, etc). The Christmas present was in a BIG box, so I was wondering, the heck did she get me? Well, it turned out to be variety of candies, and four boxes of my favourite instant Yakisoba. XD She knows I love those and that those are HARD to come by. That cracked me up. Yakisoba for Christmas gift. XD

Serenade and Ice Cream Cake
During second period, String Ensemble serenaded me with the birthday song, along with a solo violinist. Mrs. Lee also provided two ice cream cake. I had a slice from each of them. I felt loved in there. XD Although, ice cream cake in the winter… hrm XD Come to think of it, I think this is like the first time I had ice cream cake since … 1997? But I was happy and grateful for Mrs. Lee’s kindness! ^_^

More Serenading with a combined Birthday Party
I went to visit my three favourite students (of that department) and they serenaded me, too. :3 Then one of the vice-principal’s birthday was the same as mine, so the front office people planned a surprise party for her, and I was invited. Went and filled up on chicken, kimbab, coleslaw, mashed potatoes, Spanish rices, cream puffs, and more cakes! One of my friend brought both me and the vice-principal’s cake. Mine was soooo cute… I didn’t want to cut it, but I took a picture of it before I did. But the best part was the “Better than Sex Cake.” It was SINFULLY delicious. I took some of that cake to couple other teachers.

Katsudon, Helios, and Bless U
I met Sarah for dinner. I finally decided to just go to Yongsan Fast Food. We crashed into Elizabeth and her family there. It was amusing. :3 Sarah and I both had katsudon and yaki mandoo. Then we trekked off to Helios. She had a cocktail called Monkey’s Lunch, and I had one called Kahlua Freeze. Both were very interesting. Then we headed off to our usual, Bless U. We stayed there for several hours and had fun. But both of us had a long day of work, so we were exhausted, so we ended things at 11.

Conclusion
This was a very amusing birthday. Many people wished me birthday through Facebook, Myspace, LiveJournal, and even through my cellphone. I had plenty of nice surprises yesterday. I wished yesterday had not ended!
