So the weekend is here and I am extra sad because naturally I got SICK! I am not to sure if its allergies or a bad cold, or something I may have got from working with dirt balls better known as children. Apparently in Korea they go to the doctor for anything and my co teacher is taking me to the hospital in the morning. Earlier in the week the hospital faxed over my drug test results and I was informed they were "normal". I wondered if the immigration office would be cool with the document because it was a fax, but I was told by Hannah that it was ok. Sujin and I went to dinner at a really nice restaurant by a lake ( I forget the name of it). When we got there we had dinner and talked and she is hilarious. The conversation was great. She then informed me that she would pay for this meal and I would take her out to dinner the next day. I cracked up and said ok.
My appointment was on the 18th so Sujin and I went to Suwon immigration office to apply for my alien registration card. The subway was so PACKED and Koreans are so "bout it" when it comes to getting on the subway. The subway came and i was pushed so hard I look all around to see who was pushing me and what do you know..... why was it someones 65 year old Korean grandma? I just started laughing as one of my big sisters mentioned this week "hey, granny's have places to be too". So my appointment was at 5:10pm and I was told to go sit down until that time. I take all my documents to the desk at 5:10pm and was the informed I needed the original coy of my drug test, once again I was hot. I was then told I had 14 days to mail the original copy of my "normal" drug test. After leaving the immigration office I Sujin and I had dinner in the Suwon mall/subway station. That's all to report this week. Hopefully I will be feeling better soon. Here is a video of one of my crazy 5th grade classes before class started.
