Countdown to vacation!

So as bummed as I am that Dad can't come see me (stupid Corona), I am looking forward to having some time off from work.  J and I have a wonderful day of haircuts, shopping, food, and shenanigans in Seoul planned.  Then I'm going to Busan to see D.  The thing is, everyone at work seems to be exhausted and ready to be on vacation already!  It's kind of funny.  We do have overtime to look forward to when we get back... so that should be interesting.  Ah well, such is life.

Here's a pic of our T-shirts for immersion... I gotta say, I miss the black from last year.  I'm thinking of teaching in sunglasses (or sunnies, as they will forever now be called) on the days we all have to wear them.

Gotta admit, we are at least cute.  The little character at the top is Vena and the one on the bottom is Cupie.

Our co-teacher, J(K) took S and I out for lunch the other day.  We got tteokbokki - it's spicy rice cakes with hot dogs.  Well, S is from NM so he figured he could handle the super spicy, but after some consideration we decided to have their 'original' which was one spicy down from super.  I'm glad we did - that stuff cleaned out my sinuses and had me crying some real tears.  It was delicious, though.  :)

The yellow stuff is pickled radishes, which helped to cut the spicy and the white is cheese.  It was good, and the sauce would be PERFECT on enchiladas. 

We also got lanyards for our masks yesterday, which make me laugh because I always figured I'd end up with reading glasses on a lanyard but no - my face mask is on one.  I had to take a pic to share so here you go - this is what I look like on a normal teaching day.

Necklace, name tag with pen, now mask lanyard, and earrings.  I have to say I'm not wearing all my earrings right now because it's a pain in the butt when they get hooked on the mask.  Half the time I don't wear my necklaces either.  It's amazing what changes we make when we have to consider things like face masks.  I'm not wearing my lipstick right now, I've got to really keep an eye on my mustache or I'll just let it go wild, and I do have mask-caused acne... but you can't see it!!!

My final thoughts - I've been watching Merlin and I love it.  They have done wonderful things to the characters and while it's familiar, it's not overly so.  That being said, I have one... bemusement.  Sir Percival wears a cut-off chain mail shirt!!!!  I mean, the man has some massive arms, so I get wanting to show them off, but REALLY!?!  Cut-off CHAIN MAIL?!?!  It just raises a lot of questions for me.  Also, I want about half of all the outfits that the women wear on that show, and the eye candy is top notch.  Hehe... so fun.

That's it until the weekend.  I'll be sure to report back on J and I's trip to Seoul and then my own trip to Busan.  Yes, I'm taking a train, no I don't expect zombies.  :D  Much love to all, MUAH :*
