it looks i'll finally be leaving the 학원 (hagwon, a private educational academy or instute) that i've been with for the last year and ten months. i had asked to work only part-time, but for some reason, they didn't like it. that's ok with me. i'm actually quite tired of working there. i've got some other jobs on the horizon, so i should be ok...

my printer died. the crappy shitty sucky thing is that i only realised this after i had installed a new ₩10,000 ink cartridge, previously thinking that my ink had just run out. in fact, the print head had failed. it's apparently a common problem with that model/series of printers (canon i320), where if you don't use it for a long time, it just seems to clog up. pretty stupid if you ask me. i also read online that if you use the printer too much, the drive belt will conveniently dislodge itself. i guess that's what you get for one of the least expensive printers. mind you, i only paid ₩30,000 for it a year ago and it was already six months old by that time. but that last ₩10,000 on the wasted ink really get me...

i got my korean driver's license. it took about 15 minutes for the paperwork and eye tests and lamination and here it is...

my friend trish also left the school that i'm at. i raided her apartment and got a very fancy rice cooker...
