Five

Man. I was feeling miserable last night.

I didn't go out yesterday, which was probably a mistake. I was thinking of going to the Natural History Museum, and maybe sneaking a peak at the river, but then decided that it would be better if I stayed at the hostel all day. 'I'll go out in the evening,' thought I, 'I'll pop into the living room and ask if anyone wants to head over to Hongdae for the night'.

Then the evening came and I was miserable. I didn't want to do anything. I was lying on the downstairs sofa watching 'True Lies', which is a stupid film. And then I was in bed by 8.30.

Why did I come here on my own? Surely I knew this was going to happen. I am aware of my own strengths and weaknesses, my strengths include being able to scratch the entirety of my back and knowing all the original pokemon, and my weaknesses include finding it almost impossible to socialise with people I don't know. Like, last night, the rest of the hostel was in the living room, listening to musics, drinking soju and generally having a good time; they didn't all know each other but they were managing okay. What did I do? I slammed myself into the dorm room and tried to sleep.

UGH.
