not a bad beginning

ahhh!

It happened again.  Today in class a different student called me over for some sort of consultation.  It took me a while to figure out what he was going on about -- he was trying to get me to show him my arms to confirm his suspicion that my arms are indeed hairy.  Hilarious, yes.  He said, "My head, your arm. Same!"

THANKS.

Hahaha.  I then helped him to realize that he and the cat on his worksheet were also similar since they were both hairy, and so in that way I got back at him a little, since he hates cats.

I am going to have to take a picture of my arm so that you all don't get the wrong idea about my arm hair.  It's not manly arm hair - it's light enough, fine.  But it's not Korean arm hair -- which is basically nonexistent.  This general lack of body hair is one reason that I'm surprised to have seen a couple of chick mustaches here -- I thought they just didn't have the propensity for that sort of thing, but I guess there are exceptions.

My arm hair looks lighter in the summer when it's bleached by the sun and my skin is more tan -- but lately (the past four summers, ha) I have stayed out of the sun or worn a lot of sunscreen, so I'm rather pale.  Should I lose the pale here?  I'm pondering.  Or I could wax my arms.  Or not care.  Things to ponder, haha.

In other reassuring news, though, one of my favorites reaffirmed his "love" for me.  He wanted a hug earlier today, which he did not get, ha, and then later in class when another student thanked me and told me that he loved me (because I spelled Logitech for him ... ) my Singer (who was the first to say that I have hairy arms, ha) immediately yelled at him.  He said, "Don't touch her!  She's mine.  Hands off!"  Hahaha.  It was some of the best English he's ever used in class, so I didn't do anything aside from laugh at them.

Mondays are usually not my best days because they are so busy, but I enjoyed myself today. Cool.  I hope the good vibes carry though the rest of the week -- we'll see.
