"Now enter this information in shit 6"

I have two lab instructors who are international grad students, and they are both hilarious. I don't know if they try to be, but going to their classes is just awesome.

In my psych computer lab today, we were entering experimental data on Microsoft Excel, and my instructor (Donghoon Lee...yes he's Korean) was showing us how to use multiple sheets in one file:

"Okay you have your first data in shit 3, now you put that other data in shit 6."

Nobody would have laughed or even reacted if he didn't start giggling. Now, whenever Donghoon mispronounced something and realizes it, he starts laughing, and can't stop for the next few minutes. Therefore, it's even more difficult to understand him, but it's so worth seeing him crack up at himself. Anyway, after he said that, he started laughing, and through his giggles proceeded to tell us a story about how he accidentally said "shit" when he was trying to say "seat" when he was at a theatre with his wife. That 10 minute story was an amazing distraction from what we were supposed to be doing.

My photo lab instructor, Yang Chen, is also just learning English. He's Chinese, so his pronunciations are pretty different. He doesn't laugh at himself, he just makes little jokes that wouldn't be nearly as funny if some old American man had said it. He is just so hilarious, I almost don't believe he's real, he's like a character in a movie...a comedy most likely. He always uses the incorrect verbs for simple things; they are almost right, but just wrong enough that it's almost cute. For example, when he asks someone to turn off the light, he says "please close the light." For turning on the light, he says "open the light." It really is very cute.

Something about him is strange though. He has one super long fingernail on his right pinkie. The rest are all cut very short and neat. It really weirds me out; all I do the whole time he talks is stare at that nail. I can't stop! I don't know what it is about that nail, it's just very out of place. What is it?! Why?!

Well, I'm almost done with my psych paper. I finally started to understand what I am supposed to do, so it should be smooth sailing from here on out. The first draft was a struggle though. 

My roommate just showed me a roll of toilet paper she got at Target that is WAY  bigger than it's supposed to be. I don't know how it can possible fit in the holder. Apparently it's called the MEGA ROLL. Wow. I understand that buying in bulk is the new thing, and everything is Ultra, Mega or Super. But toilet paper? Really?
