Author: It’s 1:09am here, by the time I wake up tomorrow morning I’ll see if Obama is in the lead to become the next President of the United States. I have four classes tomorrow, and they end at 9am Korea time, which should be just at the same time the polls in Ohio will be closing. I have a class with that Noh guy, that reads Express Yourself and who always smiles and puts S’s on the end of every word. I plan to end the class immediately and rush out to the lobby and sit in front of the widescreen tv to watch the rest of the results. I miss watching what happened with the 2004 election. I sat in the basement and constantly flipped through all the news channels to see all the excitement. I saw how sad and depressed the Fox news people were when Florida went to Kerry and how happy they got when it flipped to Bush. I don’t think I really understood why the Fox newscasters were looking gloomy and sad when it looked like Kerry was going to win because I didn’t really realize how biased and unfair Fox newschannel was at that time.
Right now it looks like Obama has this one in the bag, and if I wake up this next morning and find McCain winning, I believe it will no doubt be because of unfair play. In other news, I read an article today about how there will be two more Army units deployed into the US in addition to the first one, so that’s not a good sign at all.
There was more talk today about how EC was going to move to the City Hall branch, and that instead of Sam Josh was going to go first. Apparently all of the ECs are combining into one small building and bringing all of their students and gaining some, with a total of 400, which works out to each of us getting 40 or more students. I tell you what, I’m not keeping this job if I get no breaks, it’s already bad enough that I don’t have a life because I have to work a split shift and can’t do anything all fucking week including Saturdays. If they make us sign new contracts, which I think they have to do since they’re going to be a new company, I’m not renewing. Not only do I not want to work at EC anymore, but also I expect that they will try to cut my pay and benefits, which I will completely not accept.
After work tonight I convinced Josh to go eat some street food at that one vendor between my place and the subway. The food was ok, not as good as before though, but good. I think the lady got a little annoyed with us since we didn’t know how to speak Korean well or understand the few words that she said. When she filled up the cup with red sauce and duckong or whatever those pasta-like things are I made the motion of reaching for my wallet while raising my eyebrows, and with that she gave me an arm throw and a disgusted face like “get the fuck outta here”. We said thank you and left, no big deal though.
Saw some pictures of me posted on facebook from the night we all went to an upstairs bar and Sam wore the mask of a horse. I look really bad in the pictures, not what I imagine myself looking like or what I see in the mirror at all, and I hope that I just look like that on camera, but the old saying goes the camera doesn’t lie. I also saw and was surprised to see that I still have some fat around the side of my chin, I hate that. Now that I’m gaining weight again because I’ve become comfortable eating and making food here, it looks like I need to exercise again 
With all the weight I was losing my first month here, I thought that that at least was something I no longer had to worry about
