This has been pretty much the most unproductive week of my life. Work week started on Tuesday b/c of Constitution Day, and I was supposed to spend the week writing the rough draft of my memo. Instead of writing, I played a lot of crossword puzzle, text twist, bookworm and bounce out. I wrote my rough draft furiously the last three hours of my day, and let me tell you-- it was ROUGH. Next week is my last week, and I must make it productive!!

On a happier note, my cousin came back from the States so now I have company. She also doesn't mind that I'm stealing her room. I feel kind of guilty, because she's sleeping on the floor in her mom's room, but she doesn't seem to mind. She's cool, and pretty dang funny.

On a sadder note, on Wednesday we observed the one year anniversary of my second aunt's passing. It was pretty sad, especially because my second aunt was one of my favorites. Her daughter had a son seven months ago- the adorable EricMinhyuk- and the saddest part is thinking about how much she would have loved him and how happy he would have made her. But as sad as the night was, it was also nice to be with family. I really love all my aunts and cousins on my mom's side.

Other random stuff:
- Tonight was a blast from my NU past as I had dinner with sweet BettyYim! It was really fun to see her and catch up and hear about her life.

- I love riding the subway and seeing all the funny things that happen and people who are on it. Usually the sleepers are the funniest- the people who nod off and then jerk awake and then nod off again. They are endlessly entertaining. And then there are the ladies my foreignor friends call "subway ninjas"- middle aged to elderly Korean women who throw elbows, stare you down and shove you out of their way in order to get places faster and especially to get a seat on a crowded train. Today I sat next to a lady who was gnawing on an ear of corn. It smelled pretty good, but I was under the impression that you couldn't eat or drink on the subway? Hm. Also, I was getting really irritated by the guy next to me. He would fall asleep, and his legs would open wider and wider and wider, squeezing me over and into the guy on my other side. Then he would wake up and sit normally... and then he would fall back asleep and his legs would open wider and wider and wider. ARGH.

- Bunnies are cute. Today a guy was selling these tiny cute adorable bunnies on the street. They were so freakin' cute. But apparantely they grow to be humongous... although I don't think I'll ever see a bunny as big as BeccaTsang's. Does anyone else remember that monster rabbit? Anyways, on the way home my cousin and I were talking about the bunnies, and then the cab driver interjects and tells us about how delicious rabbit tastes, and then how delicious deer meat it. Oh, and he also told us that deer blood is a delicacy and very expensive, but to make sure you put soju in it as well, or else the dear blood will congeal. We actually think he had soju in his water bottle. Or maybe he was just really lonely.

Lastly, is it just me or is the world going bonkers? NorthKorea, Israel and Lebanon, Iraq, India, etc... plus, crazy heat waves, tsunamis, floods. Seriously, how could you not believe global warming exists??? I think it's making everyone nutty.
