Consuming

• Fruity Mentos (Yup- the Freshmaker)

Finishing

• My work day
• Calming down from my somewhat stressful errands
• The week

Procrastinating on

• Making my SB semester lesson plan
• My TESOL course
• Fixing my finances
• Seriously looking at plane tickets home

Writing

• This list
• A mental speech for how I will get my financial situation handled (if my co-teacher comes back today)
• A mental list for what I will do if my finances are truly fucked

Wishing

• It was 5 o'clock
• I could spend just a weekend at home
• My apartment would be clean
• That my paycheck isn't in my account for some really innocent reason
• It would stay this temperature all through the Korean summer
• There were good movies on at the movie theatres right now.

Contemplating

• My homesickness- it's been flaring up lately
• My finances
• What I will do with my English camp lessons in July
• How I can realistically finish my TESOL course very quickly
• What time I should start cooking dinner tonight to have it ready when Andrew comes over 8:00

Happy Because

• I finished grading my SB students journals this morning while the 6th graders were working
• It's Friday
• I have a long weekend next weekend
• It's already July (well, almost)
• I'm not sick (this is a big deal in Korea)
• This weekend should be relatively relaxing
• I'm taking serious steps to get my budget in line and eat better

Feeling

• A little worried about why my paycheck isn't in the bank yet
• A little more worried over the fact that there may be a big problem and that's why it's not in yet
• A little stressed over getting the next 11 units of my TESOL course finished in the next month-ish
• Uptight because of all of the aforementioned problems, which have been on my mind for a while
• Concerned for a friend at home who seems to be getting really caught up in something quickly
• Confused because I'm so far removed from everything at home that I would usually have such a big opinion on
  • Consequentially confused because now I seemingly have very few opinions on things I used to have major opinions on
• Curious about what will be different when I go home in August
• Frustration with myself over the fact that I'm not doing something more productive
• Nervous over how everything I've already mentioned is going to come together over the next few months before I begin my second year in Korea

Watching

• Nothing

Looking Forward To

• Going on vacation with Andrew in August
• Visiting home in August
• Mud Festival in July
• My long weekend next weekend
• Seeing all of my friends and family at home
• Eating amazing food at home (I'd better not even sense kimchi in my presence during my home leave)
• Not being stared at on the streets
• Seeing Andrew in a few hours

Reflecting on

• How I've actually succeeded this year. It may not be on the terms I had hoped it would be, but so far, I would say that I have succeeded in living in a foreign country on my own.
• How much I've missed people while being here, yet I have found myself amazingly content and happy being here.
• How people themselves really are generally the same, yet cultural differences are so astoundingly different.

Worries

• Figuring out where my money has gone
  • The possibility that it's because of something I've done, and then the consequential realization that I'm more irresponsible than I thought I was
• The outcome of what would happen if I didn't get my TESOL course finished in time
• Cleaning my apartment
• Figuring out what will happen after Korea
• The ridiculously humid/disgusting end of the summer in Korea
