[Part 2] 060. Myeongdong with Jimmy

I find it strange that my laptop shows a current temperature of 8 deg Celsius when it also states that the minimum temperature for today is 12 deg Celsius?

Surprisingly, I actually broke my own record for this year; I ran for half an hour today. It's difficult for me to be able to run for more than 10 minutes so I guess I was in the right frame of mind...you know, the right pensive mood, which enabled me to ignore the distance meter and clock and actually run for 30 minutes. So this time round, I felt good when I left the gym because of a great workout.
A lesson learnt today is to check EKU (KU's online portal; similar to NUS's IVLE) regularly. I skipped Investments class today because it was too rushed (after my long workout at the gym) so I walked to school for my Consumer Behaviour class only to see Yuhong and a white notice on the door stating that lesson was cancelled -.-
Hence, we went for lunch at the eatery we went with Jeannie the other day. It's near Crimson House, the area opposite the main gate. I had 갈비탕 which wasn't quite filling because there were only 3 pieces of meat. I also managed to get my stationery before we walked back to the Business School where I was supposed to meet Ms Rhee for my individual photoshoot at 1.30pm. I had a shock when I received an sms from her a few days ago, asking me to call her or drop by her office when I had the time. No other Singaporean received this message from her, except me. I was afraid she had picked me by random and was going to ask me why I didn't turn up for the KUBS chuseok dinner organised for the exchange students! But she didn't ask me about it; instead, she asked if I had read her email about the photoshoot for the new KUBS brochure and whether I was able to go for the photoshoot today. Since she personally called me to ask, I couldn't reject her so...you might see my (photoshopped) face in the new KUBS brochure which they are going to use to promote the school to their partner universities in other countries. Later at 2pm, Yuhong and I joined the group photoshoot and we were all given gifts for our participation. I actually had my Korean class at 2pm so with the photoshoot, I was slightly late for class.

After class, I met up with Jimmy and we headed to Myeongdong for shopping. Dinner was at 명동교자 which didn't, for once, have a snaking queue outside. The 칼국수 is really delicious!
I finally bought my ankle boots BUT I don't like the SA who attended to me today. The other one who served me the other day was so much better and friendlier! And unfortunately, he was nowhere in sight today :( I also bought another blue chiffon/silk blouse (yet another item that requires dry-cleaning) and a pair of socks for my boots.
We went for dessert in a cafe and it was nice, just sitting there and talking. I've always wanted to chill out in a cafe in Myeongdong but never had the luxury of time to do so for a long while, until today.
Back in Anam, I collected my 9 pieces of clothing from the dry-cleaner's and had to pay 45,000KRW for them -.- 

Slack day tomorrow and I can't decide if I should go to the gym.
