1) There's this guy that rides a red Vespa to work every morning. Usually I'm on the bus, and he's whizzing by. He wears a navy suit. He's not that tall, but looks pretty well built. Where is he going? What does he do? Would he be handsome? This reminds me of a phase I had when I was in middle school -- there was a phase when I would unconsciously follow guys carrying guitars (and be disappointed when I see their faces). There was also a phase when I liked guys with long, straight hair. I wish I had a red Vespa to ride to work. I wish I lived close enough to work to ride a Vespa.

2) Show debate filming last night. On an unfamiliar topic. But I was excited coz I got to debate with and against guys who were high school champions. Everyone was freaking out when we were told that this was going to be posted on the web for an almost global audience. I don't know where my confidence came from. Maybe I just felt more prepared than the others because I spent half of my workday researching and working out arguments. I did a reply speech for the first time in about two years?!? And I liked it. I would like to do more debates even if it's not for winning awards, but I'm not sure how being a good debater can help me (anymore). Am I just being lazy, not trying to make time for 'extracurricular' activities?

3) Mom packed a lunchbox, no, dinnerbox to be exact.. with tomatoes and potatoes. She's so paranoid about me getting fat it's driving me crazy. Hello? I can control my own diet, woman! I don't need you to spoonfeed me (yeah, like she ever did)! And I HATE IT when you try to control my life. I am an ardent supporter of the notion that kids should move out of the house when they become 18 (or go to college). Living with your parents in adulthood crumples your adult ego and leads only to embarassment and anger.

4) I was told to update a booklet that was made nearly three years ago. I hate this new task. I really DON'T want to do it. But my superior started started asking me why I'm not doing what I was told to do (her way of 'kindly reminding' me), so I should really get my hands on it today. I dearly dearly hope that nobody else will tell me to do anything else for the whole day.
Because

5) We went for 고추장주물럭 after the debate, which ended around 10pm. When we were don eating and talking it was 11:50pm. So when I got home, it was already past 1am. Took a shower and started marking the stupid TOEFL practice tests. Went to bed around 3:30. Therefore, very tired and dazed out. Especially considering that I've been going to bed at 11:30 pm for the last four days and I was just developing the habit of naturally waking up at 6:30am... Damn.
