Wash and Wear

Yesterday I spent over 250 bucks to ship my books back to the states–and those weren’t even all of them. Today I put down 175 to send back random knickknacks, ranging from USB cords to half-finished scarves to paper fans from Kyoto. They should arrive in mid-January.
After much deliberation, I’m giving most of my cardigans [...]

Mosaic One

I’m really getting into Flickr again. I’m supposed to be phone teaching, but all I can do is mess around on it.
After I get back to Cali, I should have a lot more time on my hands. So expect more photos around the holiday season!
Until then, check out my trading card.

P.S. I’m taking advantage of [...]

Damn you, washer. Damn you to hell!

The washer tore the beading off my favorite shirt.
I should have expected this, since it was only 5,000 won (around five American dollars), and this happened to another cute shirt a few months ago. But oh oh oh. So sad.
The fake stones on the front reminded me of the stones my parents would buy us [...]

Dinner’s On Me

For the first time, I wired money to the U.S.
Bonnie Conquest said it would take only 40 minutes, but I sat at the manager’s desk twiddling my thumbs for an hour. Next time should be faster . . . but I’m closing my account on Friday, so maybe not. Anyway, I sent transferred 8 million [...]

A Little Older Now

I had a soft spot for my supposed replacement, Jo, ever since I heard of her. Not only did she have the same name as one of my sisters, but she was the same age too and just out of college. And a vegetarian.
A part of me wanted to hate her, because she was going [...]

An Itch

As if my month couldn’t get crappier, I forgot to call my baby sister on her birthday (December 6th). I’m such a shitty sister, and all I want to do is kick myself in the teeth.
So sorry, Marbs–you know I love you, and I will totally make up for it.

Two hours of yoga, and all I [...]

Wish Me Good Luck

I have an interview on Saturday. Lordy I’m a bit nervous.
Cali in fifteen days. Besides seeing my family I don’t know what I’ll do in the orchards. Catching up on favorite television shows and comic books, maybe a trip down south (or east). It’s going to be anti-climatic.
When my trip to Thailand was cut off, [...]

Lockdown

Had the most boring weekend ever . . . and loved it.
On Friday I suddenly became obsessed with watching Prison Break. I’d heard good things about the show, and I have a fetish for bald guys (don’t ask!) and convinced myself there would be some hot guy-on-guy action (sorry).
The next day I found it at [...]

Moving Out

I know it’s kind of pointless, to post on a blog that only ten people read, but if anyone knows of any schools looking for new teachers, let me know. Despite of the breakdown you read of earlier this week, I actually do enjoy teaching. Only the hours (and the cold weather this far up north) [...]

Did It Again

I quit my job.
The director was actually gracious enough to let me go on the 20th of December so I can spend Christmas with my family. They are still going to pay for my flight and my one-month bonus. Thank goodness, because I thought that was in jeopardy. They will also reimburse me for my [...]
