How does the time pass so quickly? I feel like it was just a couple months ago that I was celebrating my last birthday. I remember last year's day quite well. I was just coming down with a cold, exacerbated by going out the weekend before and taking a flaming birthday shot at a bar. So come Monday, my actual birthday, I was very sick. This was also the first day of the new term, with new classes and students.
However, as luck would have it, that was also the week that my hagwon got really nervous about the H1N1 swine flu since one or two of the new teachers had brought it with them from their home country, and so they canceled classes for about 10 days. So I got to rest, relax, and self quarantine myself (as we were not supposed to leave our places unless absolutely necessary, with the threat of being fired if caught partying it up).
But this year, I think my birthday will be much more uneventful, though there still might be a possible cold that I am hoping is not really a cold but that I am thirsty and need to drink more water.

Steal of the Day
Ok, not really a steal, but more of an amazing deal.
I was in Home Plus Express picking up food - since I've imposed the eating out ban on myself for this month - and was planning to get peanut butter. Every day last week at work I saw one of my coworkers eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich during breaks, and since then I've been craving them. Unfortunately, peanut butter is expensive here - easily 5,000-6,000 won, or more depending on the brand and if it's organic. Jelly is also kind of expensive, though I don't buy that quite as often.
Anyway, I was looking at the peanut butter, and I saw this:
You know, the peanut butter and jelly combo in a jar. For 2,210 won! But the really strange thing was that this amazing price was only for the grape one. They also had it with strawberry jam, but that was 6,900 won (as was the regular peanut butter). Which made me wonder, why was it so cheap?
The expiration date was still far away, there was nothing aesthetically or physically wrong with the jar...a misprint? But no, it was definitely only 2,210 won.
There were only three grape ones left, so I went ahead and got all of them. One of them went to my boyfriend since he also likes peanut butter and jelly.^^
