Current mood: busy

My apologies that I've been completely MIA; I've been busy beyond belief getting re-settled (I have a brand new cell phone; the LG Chocolate in Icy Mint blue) and attending my classes and finding a job. I'll have time for the internets soon!

On a side note, my grandparents love my Wii. My grandpa's pretty good at Wii boxing!

EDIT: Well, snap. My Chinese power cord to my laptop won't work here in the States; it's not recognising the electricity even though it's plugged in, so I may be MIA for quite some time...

EDIT: On the grandparents' compy ATM. The job I applied for at Peiwei is probably out as they haven't called me like they said they would. I have an application for Olga's and I tried to apply to be an e-ESL teacher, but with the incredibly snappish e-mail Helen sent me about Amanda not working at Kid Castle (it's Helen's fault, IMO, she was going to wait until March to get Amanda a proper visa where another company was immediately going to get Amanda one to her! Gee, let's think... work illegally for a couple of months and risk deportation... be immediately legal and all set... I'd pick the latter!) I'm a bit worried I won't get the job as I was going to put Helen down as a referral. Oops. Perhaps I'll put down Rick instead? We'll see if they even contact me.

It's highly likely I'll head to South Korea to teach English at a summer camp. They're in late-July-mid-August and are 4 weeks long with pay running around $2,500 - $3,000 on average, with housing and meals provided. Score, I say! However, that doesn't solve the problem of not having a job right now...

I really think that the wii is the gaming system for old folks. I mean, young folks like it too, but when my MOM even mentions she wants one (over my drool-worthy PS3), and I find out that Professor Smith somehow owns one... I just start to connect the dots.

OOoohhh I'd so jump on that South Korea thing in a heartbeat! I know it doesn't solve the problem of finding a job now (kinda tough in this state right now, but oh well), but it's good for a plan in the future!

Late July... AWW MAN THAT MEANS YOU'D MISS MY BIRTHDAY!! But you've been around for all the other ones, so if you do go to Korea I won't hold you to it. XD

The Wii is supposedly family-friendly, except in the cases of awesome games like Twilight Princess, RE4, and Smash Bros. Brawl. I can't see my grandparents liking THOSE games.

Hey, you should go to South Korea and teach for a month! Why not? It's only a month! If you don't want to go in the summer they have winter camps around this time for a month also and they're more desperate to find teachers because people are less likely to show up in winter.

The cell sounds nice!

I have got to try the Wii out just for fun.

Good luck with the job. I think Rick for a referral is a good idea. The South Korea sounds like a great job.

I think going to Korea is an awesome idea! Thanks for filling me in earlier.

I wanted to pass this on before I forgot. Greg Mahoney gave me this website to check out.

First thing's first, I'm going to get certified for ESL. I'm thinking of doing a online one.
