September 3rd- September 9th Week Update

Well, it's been a while since I last posted; nothing too eventful has happened over the past week. I confess this is a good thing, as it probably means I am finally settling into some sort of a schedule here.

So many wonderful things to buy

Last Saturday, September 4th, I took some time to clean my room the way it should have been cleaned when I first arrived. Saturday morning I went to a HomePlus store at Mullae Station (owned by british mega-company Tesco). It was lovely because there was a decent amount of english on the products being sold, and it felt like a Walmart. Floor 1 was clothing, floor 2 was childrens, floor 3 was groceries, and floor 4 was electronics. I left with a new toilet brush, sponges and gloves, mini vacuum, a tshirt, a block of cheese, and some yogurt. Spent the rest of the day bleaching everything in my room. It was marvelous. I also finally planted my basil seeds (which sprouted yesterday!!)

Sunday, September 5th I had my first day of ultimate frisbee! I am on Team Squid, and we got our butts kicked 15-3. That's O.K., because I met a ton of really nice people and got in a great workout. This upcoming weekend I am signed up for a tournament that runs both days... can't wait!

This is what I look like when I play

Monday morning I went on my merry way to school. I had to go in early to finish report cards, which were late because I procrastinated. The fact that I even had a the stress of writing report cards for my students makes me feel SO old. I'm not the one getting report cards anymore :(

Tuesday I acquired my first bike. Well, I don't actually have it YET. The guy who gave me the bike couldn't bring it all the way from the subway because he had to take a cab. So instead he locked it up at the subway station. I have a piece of paper with the name of the subway station, and the combination for the bike lock. I will mission out to get the bike tomorrow or the next day.

And the last piece of news is that I will finally be getting my first pay cheque tomorrow!!! I've avoided taking out money for the past week so I don't have to pay the transfer fee and exchange rate. This morning I ran out of money on my bus pass, and had to walk home from school in the rain. I also have about $2.50 in cash in my wallet. So this money can't come soon enough! I don't even have enough money to do my laundry! So I'm smelly and broke.

That's all for now, I'll write again after my ultimate tournament this weekend!

평화와 사랑
