Unpacked...well mostly.

A nice lazy morning spent skyping with my honey started my day off very well. I managed a few more lazy hours before I walked across the street to Lotte Mart, it's sort of like a mini-grocery store. The food I picked up will hold me over for the next a few days.

Unpacking and organizing my little space has definitely made me feel more settled. I still need to hang up some clothes, but that will wait until after I get more hangers. For now, they rest on a little pull-out table thingy. Also, I need to ask a girl from work how to operate the washer/dryer that I have. I'm was very pleased to find out that it was a washer/dryer combo. I haven't hung clothes up to dry since I was very little. (Yes Mom, I still remember helping you hang clothes in the backyard.)

Tomorrow I will organize my desk/book shelf area. It's going to take some adjusting to having the main door less than 20 feet from where I sleep. Not that I'm worried about anyone breaking in. Between the sturdiness of the door and the awesome lock I feel safe. Also, I might consider getting some material to make curtains. Seeing as how my window faces the top of the building next door. Don't get me wrong I don't mind seeing/hearing the nice family next door, but I'm not 100% comfy with them being able to see into my home.

I think I need to learn the phrase, "Sorry, I don't know Korean yet." The last few times I've purchased/paid for something they rattle off in Korean and I stand there smiling like a "special" person. They are always unfailingly kind and try to communicate with hand signals or gestures. I will work on learning the alphabet, I'm told that REALLY helps.

I cannot wait for payday, so many things I need to get such as a converter, cellphone/someway to communicate, and I'd like to pick up a nightstand and lap (or two). For now I'm limited to email, FB, and skype. Oh, and running downstairs to ask a girl from work questions. lol And eventually I want to start actually going around and visiting/exploring Seoul and then other parts of Korea. It might have to wait until winter break.
