One week at a time

I have had quite a week and weekend. It kind of all started with some bad news when I found out that my boss was having “finical problems”. He had told my coworker and I that he would be giving my coworker and I our final pay on the 19^th of February. The day before that was supposed to happen he came to me and said I have to pay you later in March. It was really upsetting to me because I don’t and never have trusted him. I am still hoping that I will get my money from him. He has know that he would have to pay us the money that he owes us for a year and was very irresponsible in not having our money on time. I had sent all my money home thinking that I would have that money, so I had no money. 

On Saturday I was supposed to go into Seoul and work all day to make some money. I had to get up at 6:30 so that I could get to Seoul. I went to get money from my account; I got the last $10.00 that I could get out of my account. I got on the bus and at Suwon station had to recharge my t-money card so that I could actually take the subway into Seoul.  I put all my $10.00 on my card thinking that I would not need the money as long as I had my t-money card I could go into Seoul and would be ok. When I tried to use my card it would not work even though I had just put money on it. Anyway I had to go talk to the lady at the counter and was trying to explain that I had NO money to buy a ticket because I had put it all on my card. A Korean man came over to help as I was trying to explain that I need to get to Seoul, he bought me a ticket. It was so awesome and I had nothing better to say than thank you thank you so much. Anyway I made it to Seoul, worked all day and then met up with my friend Kelsi in another part of Seoul. We met up had Mexican food, ice cream, got manicures, and pedicures. Got home around 11:30 and just about passed out from exhaustion. On Sunday I got up went to church, after church a few friends and I went to lunch then some of us went to see the movie He’s Just Not That Into You. It was a good movie, but made me feel a little lonely. After the movie I had to go home and pack up my stuff. Monday morning I loaded up all my stuff in my Korean friends car. She drove me and all of my stuff down to Cheonan. After unloading everything I finally got settled in. I really like my new apartment, it’s bigger than my last one. I have a closet two stands a T.V. and a little table.  It was funny because I was so excited that my new school provided me with the little things that my first school didn’t. I have the rest of this week off and really want to enjoy my time before I start my new school. 

Skype

Today I got to talk to my sister (Nister).  It's really nice to talk to her and see her. I'm pretty sure I would not be able to stay in Korea or away from her and my family if it weren't for skype. I got to talk to her and see her while she was busy making dinner and walking around  her apartment. Thanks to skype I can feel like I'm right there in Canada in her apartment.  I love skype, it makes being away from home a lot easier. Although it's no where near as good as being there it's as close as I can get to her and I'm glad for at least that. It makes me happy to talk to and see my loved ones. 

I'm 25!!!!

So maybe turning 25 wasn't as scary as I thought it was going to be. I brought in my 25th year of being alive in style. I was determined to try and celebrate even thought I felt old and was a little sad about being 25. I ended up celebrating for like four days straight, with just about every person I know in Korea and very little sleep. I made it a point to enjoy my 25th birthday, be with friends and have the best time I could... I have to say that I achieved my goal. I had a wonderful birthday week and did just about everything I wanted to do for my special day. I enjoyed every tiring moment of it all. I feel so blessed to have such amazing friends and to be able to experience and enjoy life to the fullest. I have decide that 25 is going to be a GREAT year, the best year of my life. I'm going to have an incredible year and nothing is going to get in my way or stop me from living life and enjoying being 25.  I want life to just keep getting better and better and believe that as long as I have the right attitude and mind set that it will. I have a great life and am so blessed and thankful. I'm going to take every opportunity I can to live life, love people, and enjoy everything I have. So here's to 25 the greatest year of my life may it just continue to get better!!!!
