Didn't do much of anything today, but tomorrow I plan to do homework all day.

No, actually, I did stuff....

I went into town and took all the money out of my refund bank account, and I talked to a friend who said he would secure a phone for me this weekend (they're really expensive in Pohang, but he's going to Seoul soon.)

Also, I talked to Hyewon a little more. I told her about talking to mom and I told her about all the awkward stuff mom has said in the past, and I think she gets it. She said not to confront mom, which was like she was reading my mind. ... I wont.......

Hyewon also told me she doesn't want me to get a haircut until she gets here. She said she wants her mom to cut my hair. aaand, we swapped some music. I had to break the conversation today, which was... out of the ordinary I guess... and her reaction wasn't very natural, like she had some question about my leaving that she didn't get an answer to. I had to get ready to go to town. Probably not even something she'll remember tomorrow.

Asked a friend what I aught to do if I am her boyfriend when I meet her parents. He said
1. don't slouch in your chair,
2. don't look her dad in the eyes too much (he said look at his upper lip),
3. wait till the oldest person in the room takes the first bite of food,
4. shake with both hands (like, grab your arm with one or something),
5. try to speak as much Korean as you can, so they will feel more directly attached to you (as opposed to her translating everything).
6. if you don't know how to say it respectfully, don't say it to her parents.

He also said that when she comes to Pohang I should know my way around, because Korean girls expect that from a guy. No exploring while she's here. And then he told me about how I should propose to her, which was cool and all, but... not on the agenda.

A bunch of the intl. students just went out to the pub, and then to the club. I didn't apply for a night-out pass in time, so I can't go, but it's cool. My roommates didn't go either, so we're having chicken in the dorm lol.

"Is that a compliment?"
