Hi Korea, I'm Here!

I even get to listen to the pitter patter sound the rain is making on the roof. My new desk is made out of wire. It also functions as my drying rack. Multipurpose, isn't that awesome?

I've got a lot to write and lots of pictures to post up about last weekend but I've been too busy to do that at school. I have to start preparing for the Saturday classes I'm teaching :[ I received my health card today as well as a break down of my pay and the deductions for this month, but that wasn't the things that I'd been really waiting for. I want my internet and cable TV!!

So the cable/internet guy was scheduled to come at 5pm on Wednesday. That fell through. He had pushed it up to 4pm (called at 2:30pm to let me know). Kinda sucked because I needed to go to the bank to set up internet banking so I had to leave school in a hurry. After getting home at 3:30 from the bank, I get a call from my coteacher informing me that the cable guy had just cancelled the appointment (it was 3:40pm by this time) because of the rain. Pissed off as I was, I decided to find my own internet. I proceeded to my table next to my kitchen b/c Ashley had said she was able to pick up internet on top of her microwave, but no luck for me.

I didn't want to give up.. so I went out onto my balcony and yay, 2 networks in range!! One unsecured!! Because Korea's slowest internet is faster than fast internet in America, even with a crappy low connection, it's still faster than back at home. I found that if I lowered my laptop any lower than the bottom of the windows, the connection would cut off. That meant either holding up high constantly or finding something tall to prop it up. I decided to use my drying rack.. With that, I had to stand. But I wanted to sit down! So I grabbed a dining room type chair and stuck it on the balcony. I now either kneel on the cushion until my knees hurt or sit on top of the backing of the chair until my butt hurts. It's all worth it though, I have internet :p

He rescheduled for today.. and he did come even though it was raining just as much as it was yesterday but after examining the lines and seeing how oddly they're set up and kinda go out the windows down to the first floor, he informed me that he'd be returning tomorrow. :( I think it's just not meant to be! I should just cancel totally and forever use my balcony as my computer room. I think it'll be a lil cold in the winter, but it'll also keep my laptop's temperature down~

That's all. I posted new pictures of my wild students in between the paragraphs because they're just too cute (even if they're wild). I wanted to smack some of my 6th graders today though. I'm glad my coteacher freely yells at them. The most I do is glare until their friends are like "Susan teacher is staring at you!!" which gets them to stop fooling around. And if they're supposed to be watching the monitors (TV died today lol) then I grab their heads and turn them in the right direction. I'll post about the fun weekend later~ Oh, lunch is still super yummy :D
