Korean boys are amusing. I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but there are two students here at the boarding house with me. They're both 16 and go to a private all boys' "college" near here. Apparently, if the school houses junior high and high school, it's called a college. Anyway, the more talkative one, Jacob, is in 11th grade. The really quiet and shy one, Jeffrey, is in 10th grade despite being a few months older. Jacob came here for three years when he was younger, so his English is the best out of all the guys, while Jeffrey's is much weaker, which is why he elected to be put back a year. Before today, Jeffrey had spoken exactly one word to me, and that was a "hi" when I first came here. Jacob's definitely the most outgoing, out of all the guys. Last Sunday, when I said I hung out with the guys, it was with Jacob and his two friends Ryan and Jack. Jeffrey and his friend (whose name also starts with a J) were in the other room doing puzzles. Haha. Apparently Jacob doesn't hang out with Jeffrey at all. Interesting.
Anyway, Jacob leaves Tuesday morning to go back to Korea for 2 months summer break. The summer break here is actually only 1.5 months, but Jacob has decided to not take his exams and therefore repeat 11th grade next year. Another interesting thing: high school goes up to 13th grade here! I'm glad I did not go to school here. I would not appreciate that extra year XP So anyway, there was a BBQ here at the boarding house for him and all the guys were invited. It was quite amusing listening to them talk. And since I was there, they attempted to use more English in their conversations. It was quite cute and hilarious.
And then afterwards, we went to Jacob's room to play Truth Game. I just watched, because I had no idea what was going on, but wow--hilarious. Jacob is definitely the leader of the group, and I feel a reporter-esque future for him since he questions the guys so.. enthusiastically. Basically you play rock-scissors-paper and the loser has to answer any four questions the group asks. It was basically questions like when was your last girlfriend, why'd you break up, how far did you go, etc. Seeing them get so excited asking the questions and hearing the answers was so cute! Although it was sad--they've all had girlfriends, and they're only in high school! Jack has even had 8.. in one year. Although, they never last long. Apparently his longest relationship was 4 months, and his shortest was 7 days. I was glad I wasn't involved in the game, because I have yet to have a boyfriend TT_TT But apart from that, quite amusing. Very amusing indeed. I will miss Jacob when he leaves, because then the house will become very very quiet. And Sunday's will be quiet too, since Jacob was my link to these hilarious guys. And the reason why they were funny.
It was fun. All I basically did today was waste time, apply for jobs, and watch Skinwalkers, so that was an improvement. And now I must return to watching stuff on my computer. Probably a movie. I know you guys are probably WTF about this post, since I think I'm the only one who found all this amusing and interesting, so my apologies. You'll have to wait until I venture out into the real world again for something read-worthy. Hopefully I will blog Monday night, since I am doing that 9-5 "interview" thing that day.
I keep on forgetting that we're 21 hours ahead of LA. Which means more likely than not LA's a day behind. My mum told me she would call me Friday night, which resulted in my staring at my mobile all last night wondering why she didn't call. She called tonight. When I was not by my mobile, so she had to call the house. I was so confused. Haha. Silly me. Okay, that's it for now. Cheers!

not how WELL mines is.. how GOOD mines is. wow. my english sucks. >.<
It used to be 20 hours, but somehow with DST going away it turned into 21. And yes, we are 3 hours ahead of Australia, so that means that Australia is now 18 hours ahead of LA.
