Day one of classes and I already have a fanclub

Hello. I am blogging in lime green for now. We had our first day of class today. I'm in a super duper beginner class and Alea's in a class that's one level up from mine. Snazzy. Actually, at some point my teacher wanted to bump me up to the next level because she said the word for "cucumber" and asked if anyone knew what it meant. No one was saying anything, so I raised my hand and answered the question. Later, my teacher came to me and started frantically saying stuff in Korean and I just dumbly stared at her until she asked in English if I wanted to be in the next level. I dumbly stared at her some more. She asked if I could read the alphabet. I said no. She looked sad and walked away. Sadface :(

Anyway, I have a fanclub of three Japansese girls that think I'm the bee's knees. I'm actually not really sure why they like me, but they do. They're really funny, too. We had to arrange our desks into a circle, so our teacher was trying to squish them all together. While she was doing this, I guess she put the desks too close because some woman started freaking out, saying "I understand what you're trying to do and I appreciate that you're helping me move my desk, but functionally, it doesn't make sense." She kept repeating the word "functionally," and I guess the Japanese girls must have found this really funny because they started giggling, saying "function!"It was so weird but quite funny


MEANWHILE, BACK AT HOME
[re: Umma's email to Oppa asking how Bruce was doing.]

"Yup, just dropped him off. Kind of sad.

His life has been going downhill in the last few days.

Pampered by two girls plus an Umma all competing for his attention one day.

Left alone with Oppa the next (took him for a walk and played a little with him, but that's it)

Left alone all day the next day (was actually happy to see me when I came back)

And then abandoned the day after

I did walk him in the morning and feed him wet food (he does not eat the rest)

Went for a reasonably long walks in the evening (he gets tired, stops, and likes to sit in the shade)

Gave him treats

Played with him a little

Sat with him to look at otters (he did not seem all that interested, really)

Even tried to brush his hair (probably not very successfully)

Drew the line at removing gunk from his eyes"

:( Poor Brucie
Oh, and he DOES like looking at otters. He's just going through his angsty teenage phase. It's like when you take James somewhere and he pretends to be disinterested and just into the food

Expect better blogs when Alea is done doing important law school stuff
Toodle-oo
