When in Korea...

This week was a drain, because I am the worst student. I'm smart/intelligent (heh) but I do not apply myself and I hate studying. Srsly schoolwork, you are cramping my style in Korea!!!

Anyway, after an exhausting week, little sleep, and a midterm on Thursday, I napped, was lazy to get out of bed and go to the club event at Club Vera (exit 5 of line 2 Hongkik University, by mister donut and LG oz) that was featuring 6 of the major universities in Seoul (acronymed HUSKEY: hanyang u, uni of seoul, seoul natl uni, korea u, ewha women's u, yonsei u... in retrospect a hilarious acronym: "those huskey girls!") and headed out to the subway station with Selene, Paula, Felicia, Susan, and Diana. (so sad I didn't get to see you, Heather!)

We wait in line for about half an hour: their tactic is rather smart. before 12am, it's 10,000W to get in with a free drink. after 12am the entrance fee is 15,000W. They slowly let people in before 12am, and then packed the place so that it took forever for people to get in after 12am.

But anyway, since we GOT on the subway at 11:50pm, we knew we'd have to pay the 15000W-- but instead, we paid 10,000W: I don't think we got the free drink OR it was because we were girls (Thursday is ladies night at most clubs). It is NASTY and SWEATY and GROSS and CROWDED in the club! we can't move at all, nor can we find people. But, some guy comes up and tries to dance with the girls- but the girls I went with aren't exactly the bend-over-grind type, so I'm like, I'll dance with you! then he buys me a shot of jager and a jack/coke. Thanks, David from El Salvador, who liked that I spoke Spanish. More dancing. more dancing.
participated in a lap-dance competition, on stage, with 5 other girls and we all had a lot of fun. I should have won the free bottle of booze, but we got a free drink ticket for participating. "MICHELLE YONSEI DAE HAK KYU!!!" When I give out fake names I should probably inform my friends.
More dancing, some Korean-American who I tried to get rid of by saying "I have to go find my friends!" and he replied with "F*ck your friends!!!!", the 2 french guys I talked to at the 'sitting wall', and some Italian man who I told I couldn't speak Italian, but could speak French and Spanish, and he told me that he liked my very American accent. "You are very American!"
Monique: "WHO WERE WE DANCING WITH?!?!"

Around 4am the girls wanna leave, and I wanted to stay... but yeah, I felt pretty tired and gross, and couldn't see myself staying another hour and a half (for the subway) so I just went back with them. We had the nicest taxi cab driver, and fare was only 4000W betwen the 5 of us; got McDonalds (FINALLLYYYYYYY BULGOGI BURGER MEAL I CONSUME YOU AT 430AM) partially walked Felicia back to her apartment, and went back to our respective rooms. I watched some E! and ate my meal, watched some 500 days, talked to Sita <3 and fell asleep.

Woke up and it's raining hard, but that's not gonna stop me from going shopping!!!

Lesson of the night: knowing various languages will take you far.
