Photoshopping passport pics

I am slowly going crazy! Crazy am I slowly going! Slowly am I going crazy 1232321! I may have gotten it wrong, but this used to be a song we sang in girls' camp at Twin Rocks, and that has been running through my head all day! I have been working long hours at this school and finding one frustration after another. I just loathe not getting clear instruction. Today I was handed twelve text books for three classes, and it took the longest time trying to sort out which ones were for which class. Now that I have all that figured out though, I honestly do think things will be better. That is, AFTER the journey to Seoul all of us new teachers have to take early tomorrow morning... it will involve a long trip and lots of cash just for a doctor to declare me healthy, all before school starts.

YEYY!! My plug adapter and converter came in the mail today! I can start using my hair dryer! And will be able to plug in my laptop! And even use a hair straightener! Which means I will actually start taking pictures, now that I can look good!! :)

That reminds me: today I had to have passport pictures taken to apply for my alien residence card (my Korean ID), and the shops spend an hour photoshopping the pics before they will hand them back! (I was amazed at my clear skin upon receiving them!) :) Isn't that funny though...? Does the government not want to know what we truly look like, pimples and all? I am of course speaking for the general public here. Really, a pimpleface could be barely recognizable after the digital facejob they get for passport photos.

Last night Katelyn, Paul and I ate at an authentic kim bop shop. I have already been eating kim bop every day for a while now, because you can get a roll for $1.20. That's what I'm talking about!
