RAVING/HAPPY SH!T MEGATHREAD

Was sitting at my desk when I heard a strange noise. Turned around and the science teacher had this hilarious face of regret mingled with a bit of shock and disgust. Then I saw the bag of wasabi cashews in his hand. 

The PE teacher then looked over to see what the commotion was about-- despite his refusal, the science teacher insisted on making the PE teacher suffer as well. An equally funny face was made and I just laughed at the both of them. 

Fridays are always pretty chill. I supervise a PE class for 2 hours (middle school) and it's always fun listening to them scream at each other in Korean, hahahah

I have finished all of my little cooking tasks. I now have a fresh sourdough loaf out of my rice cooker (lmao) and homemade hummus (also nut milk and I'm making nut 'cheese' out of the pulp). I feel very accomplished and can now just chill all weekend~

To nomadicmadda: It has been decided. We will stalk krissyboo.

Also, I literally hate dicks. Like, not the asshole type of dick (although I hate those too) but literally dicks. I'm going to sound so immature, but they really freak me out for some reason. Thank the stars I haven't gotten any dick pics.

  Do you not swing that way?  Or...if you do, how do you handle them in the bedroom then? 

I definitely swing that way but I don't like when theirs start swinging, I suppose. And to answer your other question... it's usually dark. I don't look.

I get you yirga. In the bedroom is fine, because you're expecting to see one. Surprise dicks are the worst. Open a pic, it's a dick? Disgusting. Turn a corner, see a dick? Terrifying.

this entire thread is hilarious. I agree though, unexpected dicks are the worst

reudibeat's comment had me in stitches.

Also my stupid computer won't let me insert additional quotes, so...

Chinguetti: I just hate dicks. Lol. Although going off of what reudibeat said, I think unexpected dick would make me go into cardiac arrest.

krissyboo: You just need to show up to the date and we'll take care of the spying.

Krissyboo, I hope you see the EXACT number of dicks you want to this weekend.

 
The kind of well-wishing we all need!

@yirgacheffe Have you seen when a dude has a boner and he can twitch it around yet? 
This thread has me in tears omg...

Also, my good news of the night is my friend finally convinced bribed me into going to Seoul over the weekend with a free Saturday UMF ticket and lodging in one of those sweet-ass orgy penthouse party rooms Koreans like to rent...
...Gonna be a hell of a weekend.  Slightly terrified 

Please refer to ranting thread :/

Had the most ridiculous weekend in Seoul.  Went to Ultra (was awesome) saw Knife Party (slightly miffed by their performance, but still good) and Axwell and Ingrosso (also awesome) from the very front, miraculously found my Swedish friends in a crowd of thousands, rented a massive penthouse hotel with my Korean friends that had a 12 person hot tub and a roof that opened, and basically had an insane weekend.  Managed to do it all without being hungover the next morning both days and felt great.

...Probably good on partying for the next 6 months now, though

What happened with Knife Party?

Still can't run or jump, but I can at least walk sort of normally now, and it no longer hurts to cross my legs -- still uncomfortable as hell, but not painful. PROGRESS

My middle school has over 600 students. I was worried about this last open lesson as they took out the top 10 students from the class and was told a lot of parents tend to come. We didn't have 1 visitor, but I'm more happy about the rest of the class doing really well in the absence of the stronger students.

Today I saw my grade 6's thoroughly washing their hands in the lunch room! I'm talking with soap, sudsy, and for well over 30 seconds, probably a minute! Longer than I wash my own hands; I was staring in awe, wondering when they would stop. Simply stunning 

Went to Ultra on Saturday and had so much fun! I've never been to an EDM festival before so just being there and enjoying the music with thousands of other people was so great. I think I'll go for all 3 days next year. 

The school is having dinner for the parents tomorrow and I assumed that I was going, but one of the teachers who is organizing it said that I don't have to go.

What happened with Knife Party?

Their whole set seemed very uncharacteristic of who (I thought) they were.  We got into the mainstage area right at 8:30 when they'd already started, and I actually thought the previous artist was still finishing up for the first 20min of their set   It took actually seeing Rob Swire and Gareth McGrillen via the video screen for me to realize it was them.  I have/have heard all of their music from Abandon Ship (end of 2014) and earlier, so I was really surprised they weren't playing a single thing I recognized.

I legitimately didn't know wtf they were playing, and there was only about 10min of music I did know towards the end.  Now they did put out an album 6 months ago (Trigger Warning)and I haven't listened to it yet to know if that's what they were playing at the show, but there's no way that EP is long enough to last a whole two hour set.  Not sure if they changed and remixed stuff to fit what they thought was a more "Korean" demographic (what, shitty electro house??) or what, but I was kind of disappointed.  It honestly felt boring and didn't have any of the grit or grime or energy their previous work does...

Oof, glad I didn't blow money to go there then. Deadmau5 was playing a second stage but I saw him at Rogers Centre years ago with his massive set. Too much money for 2 days that I might have enjoyed.

There's an EDM fest in Chuncheon Aug 19-20. Baauer, Madeon, Nero and Zomboy are all there and it's 99 000W. Gonna be tight.

Someone posted this on my facebook today and it immediately improved my day. Hope it does the same for someone else.

I love this movie and I love love this song! Mission accomplished.

Where's Sonny? 

Today's the first day that the daycare teacher hasn't brought the kids 10 min early to class

Heard a kid cracking knuckles in class today (grade 3 elem).

Felt thus compelled to crack my own-- I can crack multiple at once, for louder effect.
Kid's eyes widened in amazement. The little ones are so easily impressed, hahaha

Returned to my main school and someone brought lots of bread from the mainland  Which was awesome cause lunch at my travel school was meh today.

There was pizza bread!  But it had mustard!  Wtf. Not a lot though, so it was still good overall.

And for some reason they're doling out kimbaps to everyone in the office. No idea where these came from but I'm not complaining! 

A single bubble just floated past my office window and my classroom smells really delicious. Like a Jamaican patty.

  I should not have caught up on the past week of this thread.

100 classes/31 school days/41 full days until I'm out of here.
I have a spreadsheet that's counting all of these down. 

Just had my second open class where other teachers come in and watch our class. Was super chill and calm until the moment that we actually started. I slowly saw the teachers come in one by one.

Students are usually more outspoken and love to talk but I think the presence of the principal and vice principal and several other teachers made them feel more reserved. After a few vocab practices and a game at the end, students went crazy and a lot more energy and positive vibes were released into the room. Overall it went extremely well and got smiles and compliments at the end. :)
