Go Yao!! Hooray for the Rockets! I'm glad they beat Shaq and the Lakers.

I had a very uneventful, low key day. Best part? Emmy, Bharvi and I watched ALL of Pride and Prejudice tonight. Yes, I watched it again, for the five millionth time. I just do not get sick of this movie. It's brilliant. And Colin Firth is just a hottie.

So to any of my friends reading this who do not live near Chicago, can I just tell you how mothafella cold it's been lately? I mean, it's just ridiculous. I think the average tempature the past week and a half has been in the low 20s. And it's going to stay this cold, and even get colder. There's not even any snow on the ground!! Man. Oh well. Gives me even more reason to stay in : )

Today we had a GREAT speaker at Focus. Matt, the president of the grad student chapter of IV, and my Islam TA from last quarter, spoke about Jesus. It was a very good talk about Jesus' humanity, and really challenged me to think about my actions and how they reflect Jesus in my life. It was kind of funny though, because as he was speaking, you could totally see the TA in him coming out. Matt was honestly the only reason Islam was bearable last quarter. I really disliked the class overall, but I liked Matt, and I gave him very good CTECs. Yay!

Okay, so I've told a lot of people this story, but it's STILL creeping me out. On Wednesday, I got hit on at Barnes and Nobles by a 60 year old man. I was SO offended, not only because this creepy old man was hitting on me, but because he was so ignorant as well. I think he assumed I was a FOB and a ho. I was standing in the magazine section reading, when I realized I was in this guy's way. I told him sorry and moved out of his way, when he started telling me how pretty my smile was, blah blah yuck yuck, as I was just standing there reading my magazine and giving him one word responses. But then, he starts explaining to me that I didn't look very sorry because my smile was pretty (YUCK YUCK YUCK), and how sorry can have different meanings. He goes on to explain to me that some words have more than one meaning, and that there are also words like "though" "through" "tough" that have similar spellings, but are actually pronounced differently. I'm standing here trying to ignore him, and realizing that this dude doesn't think I know how to speak English!!! He asked me where I came from!! I told him my parents were from Korea, but I've been in the States my whole life. Creepy old guy tells me then that I can't be that old, and when I mumble that I'm 21, he says, hey, I'm three times older than you. Ewwwww. He also says, 21 isn't that old... but it's old enough. AAHHH! GROSS!!! I'm completely ignoring him at this point, and slowly edging away. I think he got the point and left. But then he returned. And told me that there's a "Go" Club going on upstairs tonight, and hey, since I'm Korean I must know how to play and I should go and play with the Go Club. Needless to say, I declined. And ran out of Barnes and Nobles.
I mean, honestly. This was so nasty. And it's something that girls have to deal with often. How come when you're trying to be polite, it's construed as flirting? Should I have politely told this guy to go f*** off? I wasn't even being that polite!!! Also, do I told with an accent? Did I seem like I needed an English lesson? Honestly, I hate being rude to people. But sometimes, they deserve it. Grrrrr. Guys, do not become creepy old men. They suck.

Hey. Does anyone know where I put my keys??
