I have the worst luck with cell phones.

The phone I got right when I got back to Korea decided to malfunction last night. I haven't dropped it or anything, it just stopped working. Luckily, it's on a warranty and they can fix it. Otherwise, I would have to get my fifth phone in the sixteen months at I have lived in Korea.

Yesterday's adventure went well.

Yesterday's adventure ended up being a trip to Apgujeong.  I made it there and back safely in time for work, which was awesome.  However, there were a few mishaps that occurred:

• I got a little lost.  I made it to the stop and with the buses fine.  I just wasn't sure which way it was out of the exit.  So I ended up just walking around, which was fine, except for the fact it was hot and I was carrying all the shit I needed for work.  I ended up just taking a cab, which was the smart choice, since I had walked for half an hour in the wrong direction.
• The bag I wanted was sold out.  I expected it a little, since it said it was sold out online.  I just figured that the actual location might have had a display one that I could have purchased.  They didn't, so I ended up just buying the same bag but in a different color.
• I knocked over three bottles of champagne in front of a Tour Les Jours.  This wasn't my fault though.  Some guy was squeezing by me and he forced me out of the way.  I turned to the side and my backpack ended up knocking the bottles over.  They all shattered on the ground and splattered on four girls who looked very angrily at me.  All I did was say I was sorry.  After standing around for a minute and realizing that no one was coming out from the store, I just walked off.  I feel pretty bad about it, but even if someone came out, I wouldn't have been able to explain the situation.

I might start trying to schedule a trip into the city like this one once a week.  I'm not sure if I'll be able to wake up early enough, but I might as well try.  It'd be nice to get up and do something productive every once in a while.

This calls for an adventure.

So, it's really early in the morning and I don't have to be at work until 3:30 so I feel like I should do something with my day. I'm going to head into the city and buy a new backpack since there's so much time. I'll probably snap a few photos as well. There are a few problems, since I have never taken the bus I'm planning to take. I'm also not sure if the store is still open, but I figure that I might as well.

It looks like my Galaxy Tab plans are on hold.

So about a week and half ago I decided that I would buy myself a Samsung Galaxy Tab.  I was seriously going to meet a friend today and go buy it.  However, it turns out that the Galaxy Tab is considered a phone here and I am unable to have two cell phones under my name.  The most obvious solution is to just cancel the plan I'm already on and just get the Galaxy Tab, but that's a waste of money and the cancellation fee is so high.  Besides, I sort of want to have my phone and the tablet at the same time and keeping them for separate purposes.  I have a few thoughts as to how I can swing this deal, but I have to see.  Maybe I'll just have to wait until next paycheck to figure it out.

The Korean summer is here.

I'm saying this because I woke up to three mosquito bites and I just spend the last five minutes trying to hunt the damn insects in my room. It isn't that humid yet though, and I'm glad it isn't raining like I know how it will be later on in the season, but I just don't enjoy the Korean summer very much. It's just a matter of time until I'm going to be scratching mosquito bites and sweating my ass off nonstop.

I might be one of the laziest persons on the planet.

I really might be.  I'm getting paid this Friday and one of the things I'm thinking about doing with my paycheck is hiring a maid.  It sounds worse than it is, but I really can justify it.  For one thing, the service is actually really cheap and it wouldn't even really set me back much over a month.  Another thing is that they'd probably clean things that I wouldn't even have thought were dirty.  Finally, depending on the service, some of them will actually cook you meals.  I think that's actually the best part.  HOME COOKED MEALS ON TOP OF MY APARTMENT BEING CLEAN!?  That shit's almost too hard to pass up.

I just finished reading Twilight.

I really have been meaning to read these books for a while now. I don't think they're great or anything, but since a shit ton of people have read them, I feel like I should at least know what all the craze is about. I just got through the first book and I'll probably start the next one today. By the end of next week, I should be able to get through all of them. Then I'll probably have something else to talk about with my students besides Harry Potter and which kpop groups I like the most.
