Honestly, now.

So I get my first paycheck next Friday.  Not a real paycheck, just money magically appearing in my bank account.  The nice thing is that the money that will be taken out for the deposit on my apartment will be evened out by the fact that I have an extra week of pay from August. Yeah!  So here is my to-do list.

1. Get whatever document I need to send money back home (once I get it set up, I can transfer money from an ATM).

2. Figure out the best deal on a phone.  The bank boasts that I can get a better international rate than with a phone card.  I know, I know.  I just need to get Skype working.  However, since my computer is crap and I won’t be able to get one for a few months, I’m going to get a phone.  That, and calling from a cell phone is just so darn convinent!

3. Pay Kerri back for my ticket to Busan.  We’re going there for holiday and Kerri picked up my ticket for me.  (Only about 40 dollars for a five hour train ride across the country).

4. Get some groceries.  Granted, take-out is super cheap.  If you’re careful, it’s actually cheaper than cooking.  However, there are days that I just don’t want to leave my apartment.

5. Take Don out for fried chicken.  I owe him.

6.  The weekend after we get paid, Kerri and I are going to Itaewan to go salsa dancing!  We’ll probably grab Mikey and Patrick and teach them how.  (I told Patrick since he’s latino, it should be instinctive.)

7. Also the weekend after we get paid, Kerri, Sarah, a bunch of the Korean teachers and myself are going to a spa to have our toes nibbled on by fish.  Really!  You put your feet in the water and fish come and eat the dead skin off.

8.  I’m going to get some stuff to put on my walls.  My apartment looks like a hospital.

That’s about all I can think of that I need to do.   In other news, I’m drinking a lot of this rather popular Vit. C drink.  It’s pretty good.  There are many little drinks that you can get that are really just vitamin drinks.  Some are yummy and some are….well…not so much.  I think I’m one of the few teachers who hasn’t been sick in the past few weeks.  I’m hoping it stays that way.
