*Yawn*

Well the rest of my weekend stayed pretty low key. I made it to Seoul and wandered around a market I had never been to before and then found a shopper's paradise where I could have spent days (and dollars) just wandering. I behaved and restricted myself to window shopping, although there were so many Western stores I could have been on a street downtown Toronto and not known the difference. They even had a Krispy Kreme! Those type of things always make me laugh because I saw it and was like "Oooh Krispy Kreme!" and then realized I have never even been to one at home so my excitement over it was kinda silly. I walked on, without a doughnut, although had the line not been so long I might have been tempted. A lot of foreign foods are like that here I find, something I would never glance at in Canada holds all the temptation in the world here just because I know it is a rarity and I might not find it again. This explains why I have a can of ocean spray cranberry sauce, half a bag of maple sugar cookies, and 7kg of baking soda in my cupboards. The one thing I did find though that I was quite happy about was Canada Dry Gingerale, which I have stocked up on for when I get a cold mid-winter and am having a pity party for myself, coughing away, and wondering why nobody is rushing to my bedside to take care of me. (it didn't happen in university, it probably won't happen here either :(

Anyways, I decided to hold true to my promise of not going out for another night of debauchery and instead met up with Lauren for a dinner of noodles down the street, came home by 9ish and curled up in front of my computer. I fell asleep just after midnight and woke up at 8:30. I started chatting with Matt online and ended up falling asleep mid conversation (what can I say, he's not that interesting ;) and didn't wake up again until noon. Disgusted with myself I got up and headed to the gym. Afterwards I came back and made a cup of tea and watched some tv, where I promptly fell asleep for like another four hours. You would think after all that sleep I would never have been able to fall asleep for the night, but I did, and I slept right through. I didn't think it was possible to sleep that much in one day. But on the plus side yesterday I felt more recharged than I have in weeks and think maybe it was my body telling me to slow down a bit here. Meh...I can sleep in Thailand...
