12/21/2007: "[At Work] No more English, PLEASE!"

So, got my final grade, making the final damage for the semester: 2 A's, 2 B's, and an S. And I'm still applicable for honors at that. Assuming I don't C my way through every class next semester, I should still get honors on my BA. Does it matter? Not really.. I don't care enough to stress about it, but it certainly is good to know.

Went to a Korean and Taiwanese party last night. Parties really aren't my thing, especially with a bunch of people I don't know terribly well (half of the people there were students from the school I work at, but that doesn't mean I know their names, however they do know mine). Really, I had a good time.. but initially, I never know what to say or do. Blah. Being one of the only Americans there (there were technically 2) leads to interesting experiences where people stop you in the middle of what you're doing and ask you to define 'to die for' (and provide a bunch of example sentences) or help them with their pronunciation of random English words (like 'phone', and 'language'). I seriously wonder if I couldn't sell myself out as a private tutor for extra money/experience before I move to Japan.. (the only concern is this would be a conflict of interest)

If I said my life was boring.. I'd definitely be lying. And who knows how much fun occurs that I forget/'forget' to mention? Interesting, indeed.

I'm gonna get back to recording this English tape. I'll have you know that having to listen to 40 minute long English tapes (low level English, too) and splice them into CDs is an agonizing experience. Not to mention that there are 2 tapes with 2 sides each. I have about 1.75/4 sides done. Now that's progress!
