Hugs
Chuck: I can't even hug you? What if you need a hug? A hug can turn your day around.
Ned: I'm not a fan of the hug.
Chuck: Then you haven't been hugged properly. It's like an emotional Heimlich. Someone puts their arms around you, they give you a squeeze and all your fear and anxiety comes shooting out of your mouth in a big wet wad and you can breathe again.

silvia teacher: shannon teacher you’re coming back right? please come back. i might be tempted to stay in florida but, of course, i won’t. i had to pinky promise that i would return to korea and finish off the school year. it makes me feel good that the monkey school teachers like me enough to want me to come back. it really does.

the monkey school teachers decided that it was too hard to buy me a gift so they went ahead and bought about 20 lbs of hot pepper paste for my mom. which i just had to carry all the way home. its okay though because tomorrow i am flying home!!!
