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.

I think I'm going to buy a Galaxy Tab.

I'm sure you're thinking, "Don't you already have an iPad?" That's true, but there is all this hype about the Samsung Galaxy 10.1 coming out that I'm really interested in copping one of the 7-inch models. I really would like a 3G capable device and I feel that the 7-inch model is just small enough that I can carry it around everywhere. The price point just dropped and I feel that it's at a point I can afford. Especially now since I'm taking the extra hours on Saturdays, so it won't be setting me back too much. Besides, I just love gadgets and since I'm in Korea, I might as well own a Korean one.

Bad news.

I knew that when I chose to work at a hagwon that it might eventually come to this, but I didn't want to really think about it. Starting next week, I will have to start working Saturdays. It's sad to think that today is the last Saturday afternoon that I get to enjoy for at least three months, but we'll see how it goes. It shouldn't be too bad since the classes start in the afternoon and I do get out early on Friday nights, but I won't be taking any weekend trips for a while. At least I'll be saving myself some money.
