knitted thing.

I met up with my college roommate in the Hongdae area* this past Saturday. We had fun: Indian food for dinner, shopping in the little booths and alleyways, random Tarot card reading (rather entertaining, though bogus), more shopping, drinks at a hole-in-the-wall place (the best kind!).

I bought this scarf/neckwarmer thing from one of the little shops. It's so cozy and warm! I haven't taken it off since I bought it. Seriously. I taught class while I had it wrapped around my neck!

I've had a lot of people at school tell me I look sick lately (dark circles around the eyes, tired expression, etc.). I'm under a lot of family-related stress at the moment, and it's been a bit difficult to cope.

Siiiiigh... one of my favorite soccer kids decided to quit soccer (he's not really built for the strict training program), and so he transferred to a school back in his hometown today. I was really down all day after finding out this morning. I ended up giving him two sheets of my stickers (he loves stickers) as a going-away present. I am getting too attached to these kids, I know. A few pictures of the cutie:

Excuse me while I go punch (and then sob into) my pillow.
명신아! 공부 잘 하고... 건강하개 잘 크기 바래!

*I've probably mentioned this before, but Hongdae is "the scene" for the 20-somethings in Seoul. It's got all the punk, artsy students from Hongik University (Hongdae for short), so there are plenty of interesting shops, galleries, clubs, bars and restaurants.
