I have a week off for summer vacation. It is now Monday and I am bored to death. I cannot think of anything to do. Actually I can think of things to do, it is just that - at the moment - they don't seem very pleasing. I could watch TV (doesn't seem so fun considering just about every channel is korean), I could read but oh wait, I don't have any books to read. I have already read everything. I could also write. I should write, but I am just not in the mood. I want to do something fun. But what?
Let's see what have I done today besides shoving my face full of chocolate ice cream and eating almost a whole box of chocolates?
I took some pictures and posted them on facebook. I cleaned the bathroom: scrubbed the bathtub, sink, and the outside of the toilet (the inside needs to be cleaned but I don't know where the cleaner or the brush is) and I cleaned the bathroom floor. I should try to clean the rest of the house, but I will wait until my mother-in-law is not here, cause she makes me nervous and would just tell me to stop or ask me what I was doing. I need to go through my clothes again and clean out my drawers, maybe sell the stuff I don't wear or can't wear.
I need to save my money, I just keep spending. McDonalds, Dominos, books, clothes. Food food, books books, clothes clothes, and more clothes. I have an addiction. But a person has to buy food right? But do I always have to buy McDonalds or pizza? It is just that work makes me so tired that I don't want to cook anything, and I am not that great of a cook, so there isn't much I am able to cook. Since we don't have an oven that takes away even more of my not so good cooking ability.
I wish I didn't have to worry about money all the time. It just causes me so much stress. Is there enough money for plane tickets, is there enough money to send to my mother every month, is there enough money so I can take two months off from working (not including the break I will be taking when I go home to visit my family), is there enough money to maybe buy an apartment in the future, is there enough money for a future... I HATE MONEY and I HATE THE STRESS that it brings.
When I go back to work next week, it will be my last month at SLP. I will be so glad to be gone from that place, but again there's that money issue poking up it's stressful head. I need a break. I want a break. But can I afford a break? I guess if I have the F2-1 visa maybe I can tutor or something for two months. But there is another thing to stress about. Will I even be able to get this visa or will I have to go back to the states in August and have to live without my husband for two months? I don't like that at all. I hope I can get the new visa and be able to stay in Korea until Roman is ready to go to the states with me.
When I go back to work next month, I am not going to let work stress me out. It is my last month and I shouldn't let that place get to me. I just need to go in happy with the knowledge that with each passing day brings me closer to freedom. Nothing they do to me will get me down. I won't let them. I especially won't let the kids give me stress. I'll just ignore all their crazy temper tantrum stuffs and keep a smile on my face because soon they will be someone else's stress, someone else's problem. Maybe that is an evil way to look at it, but I can't help it. Those kids have broken me. I don't know how many times I have cried because of them. They have been so hard to teach. I have done the best I could. Now it is soon to be someone else's turn and I wish them luck.
Well I think this is the end of today's post. I am gonna go see what's on TV.
Later~
