Happy New Year!

Happy New Years to all but me. I am too tired I opted to stay in and watch Jersey Shore with a coworker rather than go out.

Work is wearing me down. I know a lot of people work long hours, especially my banker friends but being a teacher is like being on 24/7. A single class is like putting on a 4 hour power point presentation where you are the primary speaker. And your audience is a bunch of 14 year olds who are forced to listen by their mothers.

I have to teach them at least one thing every class, make them laugh, keep them from sleeping, entertain them. I feel like a clown sometimes.

It almost makes me miss sitting on my ass and making excel spreadsheets at Ogilvy, oh wait no I don't because Ogilvy sucked!

Anyways happy new years! I am so excited to be back in NY in 2011 and moving in with my love and being a model of domestication. Ha, who am i kidding?

Seriously?!

Ugh Can't a Teacher have an Effin Smoke?

The really, really annoying kid in my morning class to me.

It smells like cigarettes. What is that?
No it, doesn't.
Yes it does, it smells like cigarettes.
No it doesn't. Be quiet we're going over Exercise 3.

Ugh, I know that they know that I know that they know I smoke. So like STFU and let the teacher have an effin cigarette between breaks without calling me out for being a smoker.

My third grade teacher was an overweight, diabetic, smoker who also spit when she talked. I still liked her because she was chill (besides the whole overweight, smelly smoker, spitting thing). I def did not make a big deal out of it when I was 8 years old, mind you half the age of these kids now.

Try to teach a Korean the meaning of 'ubiquitous' and you'd be smoking too. I have to put up with you for 4 hours and 40 minutes and then you expect me to be some sort of angelic role model also? Please, I don't get paid enough to do all that.

Reason #672 why NYMag is my Bible

I saw their post for the top 38 best soups in the city. I clicked thinking if Gahm Mi Oak is not on this list, this list is bullshit.

Lo and behold #38 is the sulleongtang.

Again, I still have not had one in Seoul better than this. The only one that came close was a restaurant near Cheongyecheon stream. Still, I preferred Gahm Mi Oak's.

If you like kimchi, you need to go here. If you don't like kimchi, you need to go here to try as the benchmark of kimchi. It's the kimchi that all kimchis should aspire to be. If you still dislike their kimchi, then yes, it's official, you will never like kimchi.

They had 2 Korean soups on this list. They also listed the Samgyetang (ginseng chicken soup) at Arirang in Flushing as #13. The photo they put looks all sorts of wrong to me. I just feel like samgyetang is never as good with the clear broth, it should be more milky and rich. My grandpa's looks better.

Nouns

What's the noun form of 'trust'?
It's just 'trust,' trust is the thing, like "I have trust in you that you will write a great essay for homework."
Wait, it's not 'trustation?'

Snow!

So sad I am missing the snowstorm in the northeast right now. I would be sledding somewhere.
