Monday: Work at catering from 11AM-4:30PM making hot dogs, then running
random errands for the Tennis Tournament at UCLA. Worst shift I have ever
worked for catering... They made us push these heavy ice cream coolers up the
the really steep hill. :[

Tuesday: Eye exam! I think I prefer eye exams much more than physical exams.
They're much more interesting. +work @ park

Wednesday: WAFFLE making! :D Success! The recipe I used this time was actually
pretty good and my waffles turned out well! ^^

Thursday: Physical exam. BORINGGGG. Though the lady who took my blood
questioned if I was 19 and told me that I looked 16 when I asked how old I looked.
:[ Will I ever look my age? :P Then my dad and I searched for a place to eat... we
ended up at a seollongtang restaurant. At first we went to the Korean market
where there is this one shop that usually has daily specials on weekdays, but we
found out that they didn't have it anymore. :[ Plus, it wasn't open yet. So we
began our short search for cheap, but delicious Korean food. ^^ We went a little
ways down the street and ended up in a small plaza with food places. We went in
and found a small restaurant specializing in soups and stews, I think. The waitress
came out and tried to talk to us in broken english, but I couldn't really understand.
So we decided to go back out and look around more... And there was another
restaurant without an english menu. :[ We just decided to go back inside and try
the special that the small restaurant had. Turns out it was seollangtang and it was
delicious! ^^ My dad and I both agreed that it was really filling and so good. The
kimchi too! :D and cheap! It was only $10 for both of us without tax+tip! ^^ And it
kept me full almost all day! And, funny thing, my dad kept questioning me why I
didn't know what the menus said... It's like he expected me to know Korean even
though I can barely read it now. :P But I will work hard to improve so I can find
more good restaurants like this one! ^^+work @ park

(in the future... ^^)
Friday: SSC, work @ park then Nicha's for a cooking fest! ^^ We made mitarashi
dango, marshmellows, and pork belly! ^^
Saturday: Last day of SSC. Very uneventful... this year was by far the mellowest
SSC experience I've had to date. I put the blame on the large decline in students
attending. :[ I then went home with Kim and we watched Pretty Woman and
attempted to watch Love and Other Drugs which was really bad... too much
untasteful sex. :[
Sunday: HSUAN'S B-DAYY!!! stuffing, ice cream cake, sausage and rice, and
smearing black icing onto his face ^^. Santa Monica and an epic bunny shirt from
Zara ^^. Then finally back home~ ^^

AND AND, the last episode of City Hunter aired today. It finally finished subbing so
off I am to go watch it! Can't wait! ^^
