A Week in My Life: Design Classes, Food, and Boyfriend Troubles
September 8th, 2025 (Mon)
I only submitted one necklace design for wax carving class, and when I said I wanted to do it, I got rejected. They told me to bring more designs.
I bought iced tea and an egg bacon sandwich during class and ate it, and before I knew it, I'd chugged the iced tea. Guess I was hungry.
Today, we only did designs and then class was over.
Then I went home and designed what I'm going to do tomorrow. It was seriously so tiring. I worked for almost three hours but couldn't finish, so I left it to future me.

I woke up early in the morning and finished what I had left unfinished yesterday.
I took a picture of trumpet creeper flowers on my way to school because I thought I could use it for my trumpet creeper idea sketch (hereinafter referred to as TCIS).
Pretty.
I got hungry in the middle, so I had an egg bacon sandwich and iced tea again today.
Since I have to start working next week, I absolutely had to get my TCIS approved today. Maybe that's why the professor didn't let us out even after class was supposed to be over.
It was probably about 10 minutes late when he looked at the time and said people who got approval could leave... Well, then he should have told us to leave as soon as we got it.
I quickly went down and packed all the materials I needed for the metalworking class on Thursday. I tetris-ed the necessary items into my art supply box and organized the unnecessary items into my locker... Because the professor let us out late, I didn't have much time and had to run around to pack everything.
I went to English academy in a daze and then headed home.
At home, I unpacked the metalworking supplies that had been delivered.

I have no classes today, but I have to go to school. They're having a general student assembly.
But I was actually planning to go, but my nap was so sweet that I really didn't want to wake up, so I just didn't go.
There are days like this, I guess.
I was originally going to buy the supplies I needed for my assignment on my way back from school, but I just asked my sister to buy them on her way home from work.
I slept some more and then got up and scrubbed the house clean. While I was cleaning, I found my sister's tint under the sofa.
She lost it and went all the way to buy it again...
I also did the dishes, laundry, and scrubbed the bathroom clean.
But I really hate the mold in the bathroom, so I bought mold remover and sprayed it. The bleach smell is so strong that I don't know if it's okay to keep using it. I hope it's okay.
Dinner tonight is bunsik (Korean snack foods).
I have to design a tape dispenser for an assignment by tomorrow, but I haven't done anything.
I thought I could just do it roughly, but I failed.
I really thought I would just make one and be done, but it failed, so I have to make a new one, and I'm so tired and angry.
I changed the design to a mushroom.
Because when I folded the first design, there were parts that didn't fit.
It looks like this when you fold it.
The mushroom design is a bit ugly, but I didn't have the energy to fix it.
I worked until after 3 AM and was hungry, so I ate a donut and watched a little bit of the 'Divorce Camp' TV show before going to bed.
I turned it on because I was bored while working, but when I was about to turn off the TV after finishing my work, the content was so shocking that I kept watching with my eyes wide open.

I thought the professor would be very strict, but the feedback was pretty good. He just said, "Let's fix this and this," and I said, "Okay," and left.
I was so nervous, but I thought, "It's not that bad?"
He gave us a break in the middle, so I went to the bakery and ate another egg bacon sandwich.
I walked to English academy after class. The weather has cooled down these days, so it's quite walkable.
Actually, it's a bit cold at night.
Suddenly, it's autumn.
Apple hibiscus tea again today.
I was so tired from staying up all night that I couldn't concentrate in English class.
Banwoldang Dakgangjeong (sweet and spicy fried chicken) is having a 20th anniversary sale (I think) until this Sunday, but I can't go on the weekend, and I have to go to my boyfriend's house on Friday, so today is the only time I can buy it to take home. When I went, there were people lined up, so I just came back home.
It wasn't a super long line, just about ten people, so it was a line I could have waited in, but I was hungry because I hadn't eaten, so I couldn't wait and went home.

I was hungry during class and was about to go out to buy a drink, but the professor bought drinks for everyone. Lucky me.
But...
The professor didn't let us out because he was giving feedback.
He kept us for almost 30 minutes longer than the usual ending time, and I was seriously so angry. I was supposed to have dinner with my boyfriend, and he was waiting for me downstairs... and I was so hungry, and we had to go eat.
As soon as class ended, I grabbed my boyfriend's hand and went to eat grilled chicken.
It was so, so delicious. I already want to go again.
It was labeled as spicy, but it was just the right amount of spice, which was a relief for me, who can't handle spicy food. I liked that we got one steamed egg and one bean sprout soup per person, and the grilled rice cakes were really good.
But we had a little argument about how much to grill the rice cakes. I absolutely have to have them crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, so I like to grill them until they're completely crispy, but my boyfriend likes them lightly grilled on the outside.
When I said I liked them crispy, he said he didn't like crispy ones, but he still grilled them for me.
hehe
Today was originally my boyfriend's work day, so we couldn't eat together, but he got fired for some reason. Because of a crazy parent.
I heard the story while we were eating, and I won't write it in detail, but it's not because I'm his girlfriend that I'm taking his side, but after listening to it, he really didn't do anything wrong. The parent was just crazy. That's how they raise their kids, so the kids are increasingly rude and ill-mannered...
I thought it was good that he got fired rather than working in such a terrible place. But now that he's been fired, it makes me angry. It makes it sound like he did something wrong or wasn't good at his job.
Anyway, so he lost his job again. How successful is he going to be later to be going through so much misfortune now?
I hope he gets to work in a really good place later.
After eating deliciously, I turned on Toss on my way home and my boyfriend's profile popped up.
This is a screenshot.
My boyfriend accepted it.
This is what I actually received.

I'm on my way to my boyfriend's house after work.
I got on the subway, and I was standing by the door that doesn't open, and a foreign couple stood in front of me.
But the woman in front of me kept moving backward as if I didn't exist. So, when I was holding my phone, her shoulder kept touching my phone.
Usually, when that happens, you move forward a little to avoid touching, but she kept moving backward. Doesn't she mind being touched? Why does she keep moving backward? It's not like the subway is crowded, there's plenty of space, doesn't she know I'm behind her?
I was so angry that I was going to get off and go to another car, but as I was standing in front of the door, some middle-aged woman shoulder-checked me really hard, and I got so pissed. I really wanted to scream.
I originally packed all my stuff to go home today, but I just went to my boyfriend's house again because I wanted to see him for one more day. It makes me feel good to see him for even one more day.
I was at my boyfriend's house doing my online writing class when my boyfriend, who was working, said that he was feeling a bit sick and probably wouldn't be able to have dinner together, and told me to eat dinner first.
I felt a bit bad and wondered if I should have come since he was sick.
I'm the type of person who gets a bit sensitive when I'm sick, and I get annoyed when someone is next to me.
But I already came, so what can I do? I guess I should take good care of him, so I just said okay.
But I didn't want to eat alone, so I ordered after my boyfriend finished work and came home.
Now that I think about it, I wonder if it's okay to eat in front of someone who can't eat because they feel sick.
I was going to eat the sandwich for dinner and put the wrap in the fridge to eat for breakfast tomorrow or give it to my boyfriend if he feels better, but the wrap was warm, so I just ate the wrap.
I didn't know the wrap was warm. I just thought it was a cold salad wrap like a sandwich.
At night, my boyfriend suddenly wanted to drink fresh tomato juice, so I bought it for him. I bought corn because I was curious since people were buying it a lot in the reviews, and also to meet the minimum order amount.
He couldn't eat anything for almost 12 hours because he felt sick, but if he thinks he can eat it, I should buy it for him.
I also had times when I couldn't eat anything even when I was hungry because I felt nauseous, and that memory came to mind, so I was really worried and wanted to do something for him.
I asked my boyfriend if he wanted to try the corn, and he ate the corn core too (and then spat it out).
The corn was a bit tender.
It was good, but I thought it would be better with seasoning. I ate it plain.

I had the sandwich I ordered yesterday for breakfast.
While I was on my way to work, a Chinese junior DMed me saying she didn't know something, so I told her, and she sent me this.
lol
There's pizza again today after I get off work.
There were four slices, so I asked why there was so much left, and he said they ordered three pizzas, from different places.
