So, a little update about my busy-neverending-cycle of events in Korea…
Finally our family was able to get connected to the internet (yay for me). I am now able to get online and chat with you people and whatnot, but not like I have done before (as in stay connected 24/7 regardless of snowstorm or bitchy weather). Fact one, and the only reason why I can’t is because that this comp is not mine. It’s a new comp that I got the honor to construct it on my own, attach all necessary components (and as you may know my taste, top notch) and whatnot. A celeron 2.4, 512. 80gig, integrated video, sound, network motherboard and some illegal copies of Microsoft shits and others, with an addition of a 17inch flat screen monitor. Well, this ain’t my comp, but my fathers, and I didn’t want it to become more powerful than what I have coming, heh. Still, all that costed me around 800dollars, which I think is pretty neat, thinking that the monitor was over 150bucks. Holy shit.
And with my studies I am doing well. You see, I can understand CNN’s or BBC’s news alright, but the drawback is that I can’t translate it into Korean as well as I can understand what the hell they are saying on TV. So basically I am right now studying Korean a bit more than usual, and try to keep my English level at where it is right now, and don’t make it worse or whatnot. Holy cow, native Koreans REALLY can’t pronounce shit right. Wait, I am a native, what the fuck?
My baby (yeah, my comp) should be arriving sometime around next week or, the latest, sometime during my birthday. Till then I think I will use my dad’s comp for a bit. My my, although I know for a fact that this comp ain’t anything better than my PC, I still wanna have this, haha. Not.
Apparently the test I need to take in order to get approved to at least be able to participate in the lottery to get into the American military division is TOEIC, which is the study, or the knowledge of English language to be able to communicate with another person well. Um. Ooook… I guess I really do need this shit afterall, huh? I got into a class where people solve test-based questions about reading comprehension and listening comprehension, and so far I can reach a score of at least 900 each time I take a test (990 is the max). And I always get at least 2 or 3 wrong in the reading comprehension section, mostly if there is ONE vocabulary that I don’t know the meaning of. Man, I just want to get a perfect score on this crap so that I can get something like a benefit of definitely getting into the American military division rather than out of pure luck. And today morning I got to know a fact that they are recruiting twice a year, so there might be a chance for me to get into that crap and get out of it at least a half a year faster than planned. If everything goes well, that is, me getting to work with Americans.
I don’t know, I was busy, and still am busy doing stuffs, like buying household necessities and currently my mum is thinking of ACTUALLY moving our apartment into a bigger one. Can you believe that the place we are living in right now is 3/4 the size of a regular frederiksen court apartment, and have stuffs coming in from germany that can actually fill up that place twice with no empty bubbles in it? I just hate my parents when they act so conservative, have to hold onto EVERYTHING that they get in touch with and whatnot. Sure it saves a lot of money… wait, this is not saving, it’s actually wasting… whatever.
Hope to see you kids online sometime today and whatnot. Dunno, I got this new webcam for 25bucks and man, the quality is fascinating. I wanna try it out.
For all of you fuckers who got to taste the new incubus cd, fuck you to hell. I have to wait at least 2 months or so until a new album from the states actually arrive here in korea. Man, these slow freaks…
Have to move out of this house and go to a bigger one soon. Gah, doesn’t this stupid ongoing-busy-parade EVER end?!
<3
