I guess it's a good thing, though. School life is still bumpy, but no major upsets like the AC fiasco this summer-but I do think my washer is on its last legs-or spins, as the case may be. Sometimes it's just too tired to spin the clothes during the wash cycle. I have asked around and pretty muched confirmed that all westerners i know think that their korean clothes washers suck, so I am not the only one in this boat.
As it is the home strtch before vacation, I find myself insanely busy and hating it. So much to get done, and all I can think about is being on vacation. I will spend some time in Changwon and I am actually going somewhere outside of Korea-finally! I will be headed to Japan with Aaron for a short trip to Fukoaka. Just because, really. I'm sure I could head to fancier (and more expensive) places in Japan, but we're just doing it for a quick break.
I have officially stopped the log cabin blanket and am waiting on more yarn which I have ordered and expect to have before the break. So, I'll be knitting a blankie in Changwon. I'll also be headed to Seoul for at least a couple of days and hope to hang out with frineds there and do a little shopping.
Don't hate me for saying this, but lately I have missed shopping. No, really. I miss being able to go out and find what I want. You know, in my size, regular (read: not Korean) style for a reasonable price. All the things I can't do here. That goes for clothes, food, homegoods, school stuff...yeah, everything. It is officially driving me crazy. I priced out some storage stuff-basic plastic boxes with drawers today, and cannot believe how much more this stuff costs here. Korea is not cheap. Which is crazy, because korean made stuff goes for a lot less in the US than here. Go figure. Consumers do not dictate prices in any way here.
Ah well. Just my 2 cents before I make dinner, do dishes, fold the laundry, grade tests, make a sample project for Tips class, and go through the workbook for winter camp. Yes, I am kidding myself. Somewhere between dishes and laundry I will be too......meh....to continue. And that's not the whole list.
Maybe I should order out for dinner?
Tryig to upload more photos, but blogger seems to be having issues. An excuse for another post, I guess!
