yellow, green, and red.

yellow: the color of the sky today, which koreans have cleverly named "yellow sky." it happens in the spring due to yellow sand coming over from china. it's strange. how in the WORLD can sand travel all the way across the ocean from one country to the next and just sort of hang in the air? seriously.

green: the color of my hair. NO MOM, i didn't dye it green. the pool did. :( i noticed it a few weeks back but pretended it wasn't happening and kept on swimming anyway. but alas, there's no denying it anymore. actually, i would have kept on denying it but my korean co-worker today exclaimed for the entire school to hear "carolyn! (or actually calolyn--they still can't get the "r" thing) your hair is gleen!" and unfortunately, korea doesn't have those nifty shampoo products they do in america for blonde girls like me who go swimming and get green hair and can just rinse it with the anti-green shampoo and WALLAH! good as new. they wouldn't really have a market for such a product here seeing as 99.9% of the population could live in a bucket of a chlorine while still maintaining their jet black locks. sigh. what's a girl to do.

red: the color of my face when i discovered that my water is shut off tonight, not to be turned on again until friday at noon. THAT'S 2 DAYS FROM NOW!!!! apparently, it's a city wide water shut down. i guess ilsan is ok with everyone smelling and being in a really bad mood for the next couple of days.
