Hi everybody its now May aww and I haven’t really been ‘blogging’ in the sense of the word I’ve just been whining a little about how much I have to do? You guys can be honest with me and if I start to whine at all during the month of May leave a comment please and tell me to :

Shut the hell up Kirsten. We all have hard lives at some time!

Hehe. Trusting you guys/friends to do this for me (:

Well, today I have just been reorganizing some widgets on the blog adding new ones I hope its more useful because lots more posts are going to be flooding the blog if I manage to keep my promises to myself 😀 and I hate breaking my promises I’ve made to myself or to my web-log = blog so I always try pretty hard but sometimes life comes up and ruins it all you know what I mean? You do! 🙂

Back to the post title topic! If you read my blog last year then you may have caught this post Where are you from?  well since I haven’t really been going many places with my textbooks and taking them out these days I don’t really get many questions which I am glad I don’t receive because some people are just a little bit offensive when they are asking things and it pisses me off a lot.

I like people but don’t piss me off it makes me a nasty person and i get very rude -_- I try but its not easy.

This is a sort of runner up post of a recent encounter ^^ last week when I went for the Maths lesson I said it in a previous post but yeah I took my Ewha Koreanbook with me because I haven’t been having the most time to play around with it/read things from it or just general study and I thought well at this maths lesson if my mum is late or if we finish ‘early’ then I can whip it out and read it (: cool idea correct? It was hehe and since this is a 1 on 1 maths lesson I was the only person besides the man teaching me so if I pick out a strange book he was gonna notice no actually let me be honest I didn’t think anyone was going to notice that book its tiny lmao that’s why I take it in my back! but nonetheless he did notice and he’s quite a curious person it seems and he just asked me “Whats that book? …looks like Japanese”

Well. No its not Japanese (my thoughts) but hey at least this is a first usually people just say it looks like Chinese ??? No idea why but I was fascinated a little that he was the first person to call it Japanese because to most its just Chinese ㅎㅎ either way its wrong so I just did my usual giggle/answer “It’s Korean…” then the usual questions we Korean learners are familiar with are as follows :-

~can you understand this?

~no way? read this?

~haha. you’re making it up.

~oh.what does this say?

~do you go to classes?

To these questions some I see as genuine and I answer them others I see as plain stupid because 1) why would I make something up? I don’t know you and you barely know me, you only seen me for 2hours. Makes no sense because like I have no reason to make like I know something doesn’t really make any sense 🙂

2) Of course I understand it to some degree, I’m in no way saying that I understand it all I get tripped up and I have the whole  “omg. what the hell is this? O.o” feeling just like I’m sure you do with something that isn’t a fully acquired skill. I’m not a freaking magician I can’t acquire everything just by handling the book. Neither can you. So asking if I understand it is dumb. Its a textbook and people study from textbooks because they are learning an unknown or not fully understood subject

3) Read this. I read it for you. Then you tell me no way? Dude, you can see my notes in the little margin in pencil for when I have no notebook you can see I have highlighter marks all over my book (1 or 2 places) obviously I’ve looked it over…..obviously I can read the damn thing. Don’t no way me. Please.

4) Although I sometimes see it as cute when people ask “Oh. What does this say?” I find it retarded in a way because haha to be honest whatever I say you have no choice but to believe me, like a sentence that  I was asked to read/pointed at it said what does this say I did a super rough in my head no dictionary translation >>> 내일 우리 반 모임에 갈 거지요? I think that’s what it was could have been a little different and I just said it was >>>Are you coming to the gathering tomorrow? and I am aware that that isn’t a word-for-word direct translation but I saw keywords and I put them together, and this was picked from a page I haven’t even gotten to so yeah I didn’t care and you aren’t really going to know if I make a mistake so all you really want to see is if I trip up?
Silly much?

5) This question. Like I fail to see why people don’t see self-study as an option. Never been to a class, and when you tell people that are they ask you to read something, tell them what it says, it just makes you feel sad like are you saying that I can’t get to this all on my own accord? What do I not look smart enough for you? Well too bad, I’m self taught to this point and  I feel I have barely learnt anything we meet up in about 4 years then you ask that question with my super language skills and watch as I tell u what I really think in Korean (:

Rude me! 🙂

People like this really confuse me because I don’t know what they want. Are they interested in knowing how someone is interested in everything about a different culture? Are they fascinated about the language I’ve chosen to learn, based on region etc. I don’t know because they always seem to come off as somewhat odd. Or am I odd? I don’t really know haha xD

I don’t think I am odd, although I know in real life because I am super soft spoken (I’ll talk about that in another post ^^) and also I look nice ~ as in approachable but half of the time I don’t really use it to my advantage I give these short answers with a giggle 😀 like a lost puppy ….if people made themselves more clear I guess I could explain things more.

Hmmm. One more experience, I’ve missed talking about my experiences on the blog 🙂 a few days ago (Monday?) at a maths lesson I took my Algebra 2 book because it sorta needed to be worked on and I must have clean forgotten but there was my Bromide magazine tucked in there and its so tiny I didn’t see it till it feel out of the book and same thing happened. This how it went.

Teacher : Bromide? What’s this

Me : Oh! Sorry. Its just a magazine I didn’t notice it was there.

Teacher : *flips through 2 pages* you understand this all?

Me : No not really. I just use it as reading practice. I have to look up a lot of words.

Me : *takes book away to avoid conversation*

I didn’t want to go through all of it again 😀 I was tired and I mean super tired it was 10am I had been awake barely 3 hours I didn’t have the mental energy for it.

Anyway, hope you guys enjoyed it even if was a bit long :DD what have been your experiences lately? Leave a comment I would love to know and thanks for reading. Any experiences in the comments section ~ I need these kinds of comments since people think I’m an odd girl for learning an Asian language with the simple excuse of “Because I like it” ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Update : tech problem WordPress turned off replies without telling me now comments are allowed 😀
