Yay for floor heating and UNIQLO ...

Last night was cold, clear, and perfectly lovely.

The sky was perfectly clear. The air was crisp, and there was just the tiniest bite to it. I could see my breath in front of me, leading the way back to my apartment. It was the type of night where you light a fire, put on pajamas, and curl up under the covers with a good book.

Is that what I did?

No. Instead, I turned on the floor heater, put on the ol' PJs, and slept on the floor for a few hours. Why did I sleep on the floor? Because ondol heating is so stinkin' great for that. Really! I love my warm floor. It is one of my very favorite things about my apartment. Sometimes, I'll turn on the heater and just sit on the floor. For no reason. It's quite lov-er-ly.

Today ... today. OMG I bought a jacket! I think that this is the first time I actually bought myself a real jacket. It's white and about hip-length or so ... kind of fitted. Down. It's LOVELY. I am in love with it. It's from UNI QLO, and I think that I must revisit this store sometime in the future (in fact, I even looked up the Gangnam address because I spend a lot of time there). I feel the need to invest in a fleece. And maybe another sweater dress. :) Oh heavens, what is Korea doing to me? Dresses? Jackets? Nail polish? Earrings? Skirts? Heels? (if I haven't told you about my amazing blue heels ... wow) Korea is turned me into ... *gasp* ... a girl?

I also am the proud owner of the new Dong Bang Shin Ki CD (DBSK - or - TVXQ). What can I say? I was meant to be a teenaged Korean girl. I am in love with Korean pop/dance music, I now enjoy spending ungodly amounts of time painting my nails, I think shopping in the subway station is a perfectly legitimate way to spend time, I spend a little too much time/money on journals with random sayings on the front, I am obsessed with stickers, and I think that all things cute are worth my time.

Yes, I was definitely meant to be in Korea.

Now if I could only find a place to buy new stickers to replace the ones on my keyboard ... I've lost the ㄴ and the ㅇ and the ㄹ is threatening to disappear as well. :) Or, you know, I could just try to memorize which key was which.

Well, this was a happy, ADD-inspired blog post. What more can I add?

Oh yeah, level testing is now over with. Whoo-hoo! My students did very well - at least, I think they did. The writing section went well. I was definitely happy.

And that's all. I'll post something of more substance (and less distractions) later ... now, I'm so tired I can hardly keep my eyes open. Until we meet again ...
