This week I feel like I've been stuck in one of three moods: Boredom, anticipation, grouchiness.

Boredom because there's nothing to do; I don't have a key to the house so I can't leave because I can't lock the door behind me; I don't have a car; none of the computers around here are good for video games; there aren't any broken electronics around here for me to fix (Already fixed Dad's computer, and even if there were mom would have a fit about the mess I'd make fixing it). I don't even have material to study. I need a curriculum!! Where are my classes?!?!?!

Anticipation because soon Dan and Steph and Jess will get here and then stuff will start happening; and I will see Chowon soon!!

Grouchiness because I'm bored; I'm worried about Chowon; Protect IP; I'm stuck in this house; and whenever I find something to do mom finds a chore to interrupt it. Next year I'm gonna schedule my flights around Dan and Jess. They are all flying in on the same day, which is an awesome idea.

Now don't get me wrong, I love my mom... but she and I don't communicate well at all... and sometimes she does stuff and I can't tell if she's serious or if she's just trying to annoy me. Like for example, she points out every instance of anything Asian anywhere always. "Look Zac, there's an Asian girl, just like Chowon!" "Oh I see, mom! Asian girls exist in the U.S., too!"; "Look Zac! an Asian restaurant! Did they have that in Korea?" "Yes, mom. They had Asian restaurants all over Korea. No they didn't have that one. It says Chinese anyway."; Oh, and the worst one: "Look Zac, there's Asians in this movie!" "Mom, those people are Hispanic."

Starting tomorrow, I'm gonna get back into Korean language lessons, run laps around the living room, and bump piano practice to 2 hours per day. That should keep me busy.

...

... oh dang... Dan and Steph get here tomorrow... oh well. That doesn't mean I can't get back into Korean lessons.

Nevermind.

Kinda nerved out with texting Chowon good morning and good night. She texted me telling me that she was going to sleep, which was kinda sweet. Everything she's been doing lately seem so perfect... and this week I have 19 hits from Korea, and I have 19 mobile browser hits, so I really wonder if she reads this. I think that gust of wind is past now, and I'll give it another shot. I don't think I'll do "Good Night"s though. I can't know if she's going to bed or not.

Kinda embarrassed by how long these blogs are getting....... They might get shorter tomorrow night when Dan and Steph and Lainey and Gwen and Jess are here....
