Never Ever Drinking Again

Just starting to feel mobile today after Jeremy's goodbye party last night. We all met at eight to go out for a buffet dinner, and then while we were waiting for people to arrive we started playing 31. I won forty dollars but by the time we were finished two rounds of it it was nine thirty and some people had abandoned ship after waiting so long for us to finish playing. We headed over to TGIFs instead of the buffet and when we got there there was a wait and some people didn't want to stay, and said we could just eat at Santa's. I don't like Santa's food so I didn't eat and just drank instead. Only Friday is ladies night there so all the drinks are made as doubles, which ended up being a problem being that I was drinking on an empty stomach. Was supposed to play frisbee today but I thought it would be fairly difficult to play from a fetal position, curled up in my bed.

Starting to think about packing up around here and have given most of my things away, or at least have made a list of who wants what. I've got so much stuff to go through, and it makes me sad to think that I'm going to be leaving here for good, I haven't event started to think about the goodbyes yet, and that is going to be terrible when it's time.

In other news, coming up two weeks from now is the Poly conference, where all the teacher from all the Polys in Korea get together for completely useless seminars, and even worse, have to give up a Saturday for. Despite only having a week or two left at that point, I'm still expected to go, which is craziness. Not the way I want to spend one of my last Saturdays in Korea. However, at last week's staff meeting Jason asked if anyone was interested in picking up some extra cash to lead one of the writing seminars so Andrew and I volunteered. I really hate public speaking of all sorts, but we each get paid $300 for it, and being that we have to be there anyhow we might as well cash in on it, plus it's only three 60 minute seminars, which works out to be just under two dollars a minute. The next day in Seoul there is a big poker tournament at the casino for a $300 dollar entry, that Andrew had been planning on playing in, so now his entry is paid for and I can go and have a little fun at the roulette table. However, unlike last week, if I get up to $1300 I am going to cash out and leave like a sensible person would do, rather than dwindling it back down to nothing.

Anyhow it's about time I showered or did something with my day, otherwise I might curl back up into my ball and never ever get up.

Cheers!
