She didn't wait day forgotten, and I just might join. He circled the knowing anybody, a strange land reckless go seems to be a little. However, the move on that day, it's faith in the assurance. again from the beginning, it doesn't matter, losing any thorny every time, will not worth as much as full of ... always giving up.. I

guinea piglet prospect
well, it's a foggy ol' november afternoon, and i'm enjoying some coffee and donut holes while trying to get into a few projects. school is at the forefront right now, of course, but the issue of money has already started creeping up...and we're not even into second semester yet. so a few side projects are on my mind as well.for example, i just replied to an email about information i requested from a place that does clinical trials.
a bit of back-story: i live right near humber lakeshore. i moved here straight from seoul, korea. obviously i would have rather lived downtown, but school was top priority, so it made sense that i live as close as possible. and it's fine - great for school. but there's nothing in terms of part time work nearby, that i would feel fine getting minimum wage for. dad's always told me not to be too proud, but at this point in my life, i'd rather not spend my one free day a week unpacking pantyliners from thailand onto a dusty shelf at bi-way. (lakeshore blvd west west is home to the last bi-way known to humankind apparently.)
so essentially, i'd like to work without working. i could trek downtown, but again, is spending hours commuting any better than stacking cans of CO-OP brand chicken sauce? maybe you're not sure, so i'll tell you - the answer is no, not really.
back to the clinical trials.
my first-level thinking was - k, why doesn't every student do this!? not even just students - this could probably almost pass as a legit full-time job. especially when you see that some of these trials pay two grand for 3 days of your time - half (or all, if you want) of which could be spent sleeping. not to mention the truly weird experience you're practically promised.
of course i have a lot of questions. i'm not about to grow an ear on my back so that all us ladies can have yet another pharmaceutical birth control option. but if i'm guaranteed a relative amount of safety, it might be worth it if it means not having to stress about a month's rent, food, and beer down the road.okay, so that's one of my current extra-curricular endeavors. we'll see how that goes.
the second, is a bit less.........well, something you'd feel okay writing home about.
humber student federation has had posters up for a while, asking for submissions for art to be displayed in the HSF office. the theme: community and/or environmental sustainability. i always have some sort of art/crafty project on the go, and every now and then i find myself wishing i took it all a bit more seriously. the prospect of winning a thousand bucks is exactly what i needed i guess. so i have a few ideas, and spent a while lastnight coming up with some rough sketches for the 4'x6' multimedia piece.
here's a hint

here's secret with mazic.
i think i saw them at a mall opening a few weeks ago.

In Korea the birthday of Buddha is celebrated according to the Lunisolar calendar. This day is called 석가탄신일 (Seokga tansinil), meaning "the day of Buddha's birthday" or 부처님 오신 날 (Bucheonim osin nal) meaning "the day when Buddha arrived". Lotus lanterns cover the entire temple throughout the month which are often flooded down the street. On the day of Buddha's birth, many temples provide free meals and tea to all visitors. The breakfast and lunch provided are often sanchae bibimbap.
tomorrow i'll meet my boss and her husband, along with my lovely coworker and friend amber, for lunch at a temple to celebrate Buddha's birthday. i haven't done anything culturally out of the ordinary lately, so this will be a welcome experience.
pictures to come~
for now, here's a stranger's picture.

that little pigeon, where did you find her?
i had to break her every bone.
11 hours in your pool,
no longer hard as a stone.
she was delicious,
now i'm a star!
if you wanna be what you are
you gotta be
hard as a stone.

met with a bark,
maybe a few growls.
but made friends quite quickly.
fell in love with this guy,
even though he didn't seem to
care much for me.

this week
has been funny at work.
yesterday, a student handed in a comic she'd made. i gave my E1 level students a worksheet - a comic strip of two dogs. they had to name the dogs, make a title for the comic, and create a short dialogue. jessica's dogs were named jim and pam - two very uncommon names for students to choose. immediately, i thought of the office. what was also strange, the comic was almost perfectly written.
today, i awarded one of my youngest, sweetest students with a whopping 3 homework stickers. the stickers this week are letters of the alphabet. some students are having fun, collecting enough stickers to spell their name, or my name, or "love". this particular student had placed his 3 stickers on his desk, and what do i look over to see: W T F - in that order.

lately
I've been walking on these streets so long
I don't know
where they're going to lead anymore
But I think I must have seen a ghost
I don't know
if it's my illusions that keep me alive
I don't know what I've seen
Was it all an illusion?
All a mirage gone bad?
I'm tired of evil
And all that it feeds
But I don't know
I've been drifting on this wave so long
I don't know
if it's already crashed on the shore
And I've been riding on this train so long
I can't tell
if it's you or me who's driving us into the ground
I don't know if I'm sane
But there's a ghost in my heart
Who's trying to see in the dark
I'm tired of people who only want to be pleased
But I still want to please you
And I heard of that Japanese girl
Who jumped into the volcano
Was she trying to make it back?
Back into the womb of the world?
I've been drinking all these tears so long
All I've got left is the taste of salt in my mouth
I don't know where I've been
But I know where I'm going
To that volcano
I don't want to fall in though
Just want to warm my bones
On that fire a while

under? or out of?
I don't want to change your mind,
I don't want to change the world.
I just want to watch it go by.
I just want to watch you go by.
We were young, darling
We don't have no control
We're out of control
I don't want to change your mind,
I don't want to waste your time.
I just want to know you're alright.
I've got to know you're alright;
You are young, darling
For now, but not for long
Under control.
