Amanda Takes Off...

Today Master teased me—in a friendly way—in class about misspelling "안녕하세요" as "아령하세요" when I text messaged him. I protested, spitting out "hana, dul," while mimicking text messaging on a handphone. The problem is that I needed two "ㄴ" characters in a row but in two different syllables. I pressed the button too quickly, so it turned into the next letter "ㄹ" and I didn't realize it.

Right away he understood and nodded and laughed. Ghost turned to me and said, "Handphone text Korean? WOW! Good, Amanda! Good job!"

Then Master said that his brother had said he'd worked with me and that I was doing well. I laughed and nodded and smiled and Master said that he had asked his brother to focus on me specifically.

Oh, 감사합니다, Master.

I got smacked hard in the head with a target from across the room. Studious kicked it hard enough that the kid holding it lost control and it really went quite far. They all gasped and started yelling out apologies, I said, "No, no, OK" and looked to see who it was. Studious bowed at me, I bowed back and said in English, "Good job!"

The word I learned today was waist: 허리. It's soccer day, where I usually learn at least three words from Ghost, but the night was shortened so the boys could prepare the studio for the belt tests tomorrow.
