Just like that.
We all link up to each other, like a human chain. I meet person A - we exchange phone numbers practically in the same breath as the introductions - we arrange to meet again, and each bring friends - the chain goes on. Frantic and breathless because no one can stand the loneliness for much longer.
I have recently been wishing I could stir up the guts to go out to eat alone. There are no less than 15 restaurants within a minute walk of my apartment. None of these have anything English about them. I'm starting to have Korean food cravings. Luckily today my roommates were up for an excursion, and Hyo Jin is just about the best translator/guide I could ever hope for. I had some spicy beef soup with rice and it was delicious.
The weekend is over. A new dawn begins. I meet the two new girls tomorrow - my coworkers and roommates for the next year and I'm all knotted up over it. With any luck, together we new teachers will be able to help last year's drama dissipate.
Just so you know, I checked my email - no mail. I checked my facebook - no messages. I was about ready to give up hope, but low and behold, I see you've got a new blog up. *sigh* You're awesome.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, what would you do if you went to a Korean restaurant? Just order one of the words you've memorized? (or are there translated menus)
That's so cool, that you're meeting so many people. That's got to be a lot of fun. Wish I could experience that :).
go eat with a book. you'll find you won't even want to read the book because its really difficult to read a book and eat with chopsticks...
