Semi-regular posting...

So I am finally in a good mood. Yesterday I had gone to LG Telecom to get my prepaid phone changed to a monthly plan. So everything is going great. I got NaiNai who is half-korean and knows waaaaaaaaay more Korean than I probably ever will to come with me to help...and flash her visa if need be. So after 1 1/2hrs during which I signed a form turning off my then current phone service I was told that my bank account was not registered to my ARC card and therefore I couldn't get a phone until then...huwat?! So I had to leave and go back to work...phoneless. Completely disconnected from life...-sigh-...so needless to say I was in a shit mood. But my kids were so full of energy during class and got just about every example that I felt much better by the time the end of the day rolled around.

So this morning I got out of bed, showered and headed to the bank to remedy the situation. I'm someone who goes through a wide range of emotions fairly quickly. After the phone fiasco I felt angry for about 45minutes, then sad for maybe another 20mins. After that waste of time I felt determined. If I want something I will do what has to be done to get it. Not knowing a lick of Korean and being without NaiNai I went to the bank, played gestures, got my bank account changed and then went back to LG. 30minutes later I had my phone with a new cell number and a monthly plan. I am a happy Kristen.

So now I am just waiting until I get internet and looking to buy a tv. I'll be getting a cable/internet plan so I need to get a tv to have cable for, lol. Perhaps it is time for another walk outside to go find me a tv. That way I can watch the Olympics. Though truthfully I can just sit outside in front of FamilyMart like the ajossi, eat some kimbap and enjoy the night...
