Idle Stupidity.

Jesus Hannah, this is why you shouldn't go on the internet in the early hours of the morning. You get reckless. You end up doing things that in the cold light of day you'd probably think twice about. It's fine when this usually just means buying more DVDs than you could probably afford, or purchasing theatre tickets before you know you have anyone to go with, but this is a little out there dontcha think?

So I, er, after being quite disappointed that the famous supplementary language options at my uni ended up being a no go, or rather a lot more expensive than they'd implied, I decidedly to aimlessly rifle through these little interwebs for something more promising. In the way you do idly rifle at 4am. I wasn't sure how serious I was, but languages, and my failure to get beyond a GCSE in French, was always something I'd scolded myself about. So when I discovered on Gumtree there was a facility by which you 'swap' languages with someone, (i.e. in most cases they're living here and want to improve their English, and will in exchange teach you their language) I was quite intrigued. And then when one of the first ones I see is offering Korean, after my intensive couple of weeks kpop binge, I suddenly find myself replying.

Come morning, (or 2pm when I'm woken up by the maintenance men coming to fix my shower - nice one, Hannah) it's a vague memory, and I tell myself nothing will come of it. Ten minutes later I have a reply. Sweet jesus, now what am I supposed to do?? I'm so hyper safety-conscious when it comes to internet stuff, and love that it's only what I choose to put out there. And now I have a Korean I know next to nothing about asking to meet up. And it's not being presumptuous on their part cuz I answered the freaking ad!

So apparently the logical response to this is to create a blog. Which will probably just be a place to vent. And in the mean time that email sits in my inbox, staring at me. Silently judging. Fantastic.
