The joys of unemployment

I don't mind it at all. If only money wasn't an issue...

My camera is officially broken. I brought it back to the store that I bought it from (less than two months ago) and they said that they will repair it but it will take 4-6 weeks. But I'm leaving the country in two weeks, I replied. My only other option is to take it to the repair facility directly and that could take as little as two weeks. Before I do that I'm going to let my assertive/aggressive father try his hand at demanding a brand new camera in zero weeks. Go Dad go!

Did I mention that I'm a quitter? I called my doctor to make a "pre-Korea" appointment and the only date I could get was next Wednesday, when I am supposed to be doing my TESL practicum. Eureka! The perfect excuse to back down on the final component of the program. If, when I return from Korea, I decide that I want to stay in the ESL field, I can complete it then. If not, I will leave the field and nothing will be lost. Dumb decision, I know, but what can I say.

How come I've seen people spell Korea with a C? What's that about?

And to conclude this post, I've finally come up with a solution to my annoying nail-biting habit. (By the way, I have an annoying nail biting habit). It hit me when I suffered from my last cold and ear infection. If I simply think in terms of germ digestion, hopefully I'll be much less inclined to stick my grubby fingers in my mouth all the time, especially with the rumour that sickness strikes the new English teacher hard. I haven't bitten my nails in over a week. It's time to bring out whatever germ-a-phobe tendencies are lurking deep within my public toilet sitting, finger licking, drink sharing self.
