Vacation!
I’m off to the airport. I didn’t finish anything with my grad school application, but oh well.
I dropped the ball this time.
No joke. I’ve probably taken procrastination to a new height this time. There’s so much to finish for my graduate school application before I leave that it’s not even funny. First, I have to finish my personal statement. I’ve been saying that I’m done with it for the past few days, but all I’ve really accomplished to do is a basic outline. I do know what I...

After four episodes of Jersey Shore
I can’t stop. It’s probably the greatest thing I’ve ever seen in my life. If you’re in Korea and haven’t watched it yet, I will personally give you the episodes I have just so you can bask in the show’s greatness with me. Seriously, get on it.
Here’s a few things on the cast:
If I saw Snooki or Ronny in real life before the show, they would probably...
Nice try
There’s so much shit to do before I leave in three days.
Finish my grad school application
Clean my apartment
Do laundry
Hope laundry dries
Pack
Buy presents
Figure out where I’m staying
Write up lessons for my teachers’ English class
Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeet.

What I learned in Korean this week:
Korean Text/Pronunciation:
캥거루/Kangaroo
Translation:
Kangaroo
I guess it's almost Christmas.
Too bad it doesn’t really feel like it. Christmas isn’t really a huge deal in Korea like it is back home. I’m not really surprised by it or anything, but it’s sort of sad since it’s probably my favorite holiday.
Anyway, the weekend went well. Friday night I went to out with my co-workers and that’s always a fun time. I actually don’t remember coming...

My first impressions of Jersey Shore [episodes...
For those of you that don’t know, I’m a huge fan of reality television. To be honest, Top Chef, Real World, Project Runway, and The Real Housewives are some of my favorite TV shows. I just finished watching the first two episodes of Jersey Shore, which should really just be titled Real World: Jersey, by the way. I know that I’m a little behind, but I’m in Korea, so give...
I've been a boring person this week.
It’s a little past 3AM and I’m just getting back home from eating, I’ve realized that I haven’t really done anything this entire week. I basically get back from work around 5PM, then go straight for a nap. After that, I wake up around 10PM, sit around for a while and then go get something to eat when I get hungry. I’d probably be living off of microwavable...

A few notes on my future video posts:
I really will try to post once a week. Probably never more than that though. Vimeo only allows one HD video upload a week, and if it’s not in HD, then why bother watching it.
Each new video post will probably be with someone else, like a sort of mini-talk show. I’ll also try to make it so that it’s at a new location every time too.
One of the problems right now is that I...

Mo' Money, Mo' Problems
So I just took a look at my bank statement this morning and realized that I was charged twice for my flights. This is a pretty serious issue because there’s a lot of things I need to buy and I’m seriously strapped for cash if this issue isn’t resolved by the time I leave for vacation. Oh boy.

Back at work, sort of.
I ended up taking the day off yesterday and not doing anything. I was feeling a little under the weather, but I guess nothing to really complain about it. It’s probably just the accumulation of nights out drinking and general lack of sleep. I did manage to get a laptop charger though. For those of you that didn’t know, I left my laptop charger at home and haven’t been able to...

Vacation Plans
I’ve been asked a few times what I’ll be doing over winter vacation so I just decided to post my travel plans here. Fortunately, my school was more than willing to schedule the winter camp around me. There was also the issue of the ticket prices being way too high, but that ended up working out for me in the end too. So without further ado, here it is.
I’ll be leaving for...

Winter woes.
Money is causing me unnecessary stress since it’s looking like I won’t be able to get my paycheck before I leave for vacation so I’m a little concerned if I’ll be able to access my money when I go abroad. I still also have to pay for the camera lens I want. I’m probably also going to pick up a tripod too.
There’s so much at work to do that I probably...

I'm sure that I drink too much.
It’s pretty much all I do in Korea. This weekend was a fairly eventful one. Friday night started with a failed attempt at completing a power hour and then hitting the bars for more drinking. Saturday night I went to Hondae, went to a bar, met up more people at another bar, went back to the first bar, threw up, and then went to a club. After the club, we took a taxi back to Incheon where...
