merde!
This part time job that I took on was such a bad idea. It really is the perfect perfect job, except for the fact that I can't do it. It pays well, I can do it on my own time on my own laptop, and yet, alas. The korean language mocks me.
So for those who are completely lost right now, here's a quick rewind: I'm supposed to act as a correspondant with Korean sports editors...meaning I have to translate a few business letters, find editors through the internet, and keep up a correspondance. Sounds easy enough, no? It's fine except for the fact that I can't translate. I tried, and I realized that I could translate the documents into french more easily than I could into korean. And I've only taken french for 1.5 semesters.
So....basically....MERDE!!! (speaking of which, my french teacher is on thefacebook. random much?)
In other news............walked out during the intermission of my brother's high school's production of "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown." It was that bad. And going to the high school made me feel oddly...old. Anyway, picked up some delish creme brulee ice cream and the latest InTouch on the way back. For those who care, Denise Richards filed for divorce.
I WILL START MY WORK TOMORROW! I WILL! REALLY!

i understand about not being able to translate anything into korean... mostly because i can't translate into korean or spanish. i can write and read spanish still, and while my mom always talks to me in spanish as do multiple relatives i always respond in english and without rocha/melo/pimentel to keep me on the ball, let's just say my conversational spanish has been reduced in a mere months to "umm... errr... que?" which is depressing since i want to spanish onto my kids... can't even cook hispanic food so the hispanic will bascially be out of their upbringing. but neither of us can fret; we haven't lost our languages forever. and if nothing else, this job will be a good way of practicing korean. nice, no?
and yes denise, 5 months and preggers and all, walked out on charlie sheen.
celebrities are crazy.
also, who did sam oh play? linus, maybe? linus is my fave. linus is a pisces. ;)
