Day 29 trying to get a cell phone

Day 29 January 15, 2009 Thursday

classes were good today.

My heat is broken! I told the VP yesterday. They said our boiler was broken. Its a brand new building and the boiler was already broken. The mechanic came around 10:30pm to fix it. Then it was warm the rest of the night!

I wanted to go to bed really early but its good that I didnt because I would have been woken up. I almost went to bed at 9pm! I was so tired! I dont know why im so tired all the time!

Yesterday there was a note on our desks. It said "Fill your markers with ink from the shelf. If you don't know how to do it then ask a Korean teacher." Then they told us that if our markers are running out of ink to fill them up. You screw off the top and pour in the ink. They heard that I bought my own markers. What is the big deal? So what, I bought my own markers because I dont like the ones that you have to fill up with ink! They are so picky about us not buying our own supplies. I dont know why it matters so much.

We tried to go get cell phones tonight. We ended up not getting them. You usually get a free phone with a 2 year contract but we would have to pay for our phones since we would be on a 1 year contract. The korean teacher said they used to let you pay in installments but they dont allow that anymore in our city. we went to 4 different cell phone stores. We would have to pay for the setup fees and phone upfront. We had filled out all the paperwork then they look at our ID's and bank cards and tell us that we wouldnt be able to get it because our ID's didnt match our bank accounts. We made our bank accounts with our passports. Now since we have our ARC our ID needs to match our bank accounts so we are going to change our accounts tomorrow.
