hiii guys, today marks two weeks since my last post. i don't usually go that long without posting a blog, so this is a little out of the ordinary for me.

lately, i've been kinda busy with schoolwork because the semester is coming to an end. i don't believe i have any actual final exams, but i do have some final projects and presentations that i've been working on. lots of papers and research....

also, i finished coffee prince on monday!!! it was SO good and i love how it ended. i could honestly spill my thoughts on all the characters and stuff but maybe that would be better suited for a later blog. i still miss eunchan too........... </3

this week has been kinda up and down for me tbh. my emotions have been all over the place, switching between happy to being irritated. wednesday was probably the most hectic day. i had class at 9am, and then a panel discussion to attend at 12:30. i had no idea where the room it was being held in was, so after aimlessly walking around trying to find it for a few minutes, i finally built up the courage to ask someone. (seriously tho... who decided to put a dining hall in the basement??)

the meeting went well. they fed us olive garden, but i barely ate. by the time it was over, it was almost 2pm. and right after the event, i had to drive all the way to pick my sister up from her school and take her to the hair salon for a 3pm appointment. mind you, it was like 80℉ outside, the sun was beaming, and my car's ac wasn't cooling me off AT ALL. i was already frustrated and now i'm having to rush.

i have a horrible sense of direction, so i wasn't entirely sure how to get to her school from mine so i put on directions and made sure to set them to avoid freeways bc.. terrifying. anyways, as i was driving, my phone overheated and my directions cut off, so i freaked out bc i didn't know where i was.

after a little while my phone finally turned back on, and i made it to my sister's school. it was still very hot in the car, so we rode with the windows slightly down. i knew a route to get to the salon, but made a small mistake getting into a turning lane on the road and another car honked at me... yes, it hurt my feelings.

after dropping my sister off i had a mini breakdown bc i hate driving and i hate living in this country town and i hate how i have to have a car to get everywhere. but then i came home and had a sandwich and i was okay.

shooting star

before i start talking about whatever, look at this cute blue duckie i found in the dryer earlier this week! isn't he cute? i think it might be one of my sister's many trinkets, but i'm keeping it now!

anyways, now onto actual blogging...

this week, i watched SO many old mvs and music stages. i even watched a few of those public dance perfomances (still wanna see one irl sooo badly). snsd, apink, 9muses, kara, miss a, girls' day.... even rainbow ended up in the mix somehow. idk what came over me but i just could not. stop. watching. the music. on top of that, i watched a bunch of f5ve dance practice videos. the girls are so synchronized, and it's so incredibly satisfying to watch them dance. i'm so grateful to have been blessed with two eyes to see them.

also, the dance practice video for i choose you was literally filmed on an ipod!!! not to be a total nostalgia freak, but it honestly reminded me of old k-pop dance practice videos. remember how they used to be super low quality with no camera movement, and you could hear shoes squeaking and hitting the floor? i miss that. you can watch the video here if you want. just thought i'd share~

i've also got some unfortunate news. my grandma lost her dog, clifford, yesterday. it's been very hard on our family, but especially my grandma. he was such a sweet dog, and he was supposed to live so much longer. he really was her little buddy, following her everywhere :( my grandma has had several dogs, and i've never seen her without a dog in my entire life. now she says she will not have any more dogs, and that's understandable. i just hope she will feel better soon. my mom says that while she was outside with kali a short while ago, she was looking up at the stars saying how she missed clifford and loved him so much. and right then, she saw a shooting star. (i'm getting teary-eyed now just thinking about it.. i miss him too. TT)

ah, well. besides all of that, i'm really happy that i have my good friends here. i get the best feelings when i talk with you guys! you're all so lovely and i'm so grateful to know you, seriously. ♡ i hope you all have a great weekend, and i can't wait to talk with you soon. see you then~
