mocha, movies, and master shin…

today is my two month anniversary. it's hard to believe that i've only here that long. it feels like forever. after another weekend of doing nothing i've decided i need to get back into touristy mode and sight see. i think next week i'll do just that. i've been getting lazy and a lot of that is due to the fact that i'm going to be here til september 2005. i did find a dalki store in the coex which is this giant multiplex of sorts. i think thats where i'll venutre to this weekend. i need to spend money. our christmas vacation is shaping up. we have the hotel on koh chang reserved and tomorrow we'll reserve our flight. i can't wait for this trip. its going to be a blast.

this morning at school was spent taking down the decorations. i can't believe how trashed the school got. i must have scraped several mushed pieces of candy corn off the floor. it actually felt good to give the school a good cleaning. everyone was pretty quiet about fridays craziness. noone really wants to remember it. although christine did mention she had several scrapes on her legs. could that be because someone couldn't stand. i wonder. after our mid-day mocha run we went into the movie theater to check out what was playing. when are they going to get rid of "princess diaries 2". come on people. there's still nothing but crap. before heading up to our floor we stopped on the third floor to check out the new school. one word. huge. i still can't believe there's going to be another english institute in the building.

all my classes went well expect for the three boys. i had to take dave out to talk to jk. it actually did no good. once we were back in the room he was just the same. and then they wanted me to play hangman. as if. i've got to figure out a new strategy with these guys. somethings got to make them want to learn. i'll have to sleep on that. if any one out there has a great idea let me know. these three are killing me.

today also marked my first day back in tae kwon do. the class went really well. there were a few moves that i didn't know but i think i caught on fairly well. the best part of the class was using the numbchucks. how fun was that. i felt like a ninja really for action. i want to get me some of those. numbchucks are fun. looking at the word i think i totally misspelled it. maybe someone should send me a dictionary. my spelling is so bad lately. back to my story. so the nc's were fun. after that we learn another defense move that was pretty cool too. but of course the class couldn't end on a high note. master shin always has a way of making you think "why am i taking this class with him". of course tonight was no different. so class is over and everyone is changing. i was putting on a button down shirt when shin says laughing "look at your stomach." i stood there stunned for a second then replied with "what". and he says that i should do some sit ups. i asked him if insults were extra for the class. however, he didn't realize i was being sarcastic. in his office while waiting for everyone else he made another comment about being surprised i came back. i told him we'll see what happens after i make up my two weeks i missed. if he would just keep his mouth shut the class would be really great. the next couple of days should be interesting to say the least.

until next time…
