I've been without a computer for the past two days, due to a visit to the Apple Store. The voltage (or electricity?) here is almost double what it is in the States. Because of this, my laptop has been overheating a lot. Because of THAT, the rubber backing on my computer has completely fallen off. Teddy, the new Korean teacher at school, offered to take my computer to the Apple store on his way into work one day and see what they could do about replacing the rubber backing. I gave him my computer on Tuesday and got it back Thursday. Teddy said it would take them two days to fix it, so he's going to take my computer back sometime next week. I really love having people who are willing to help me and speak Korean. :) I bought a converter, so once my laptop is fixed, I hopefully won't have to worry about it overheating anymore. I just wish I had purchased a converter sooner...
This weekend is Chuseok (chew-soak), which is basically Korea's Thanksgiving. Chuseok is actually this coming Monday, but we have Monday and Tuesday off. And...my wonderful boss gave us today (Friday) off, too!! So...hello five-day weekend! :) There is a huge thunderstorm coming in on Saturday night/Sunday morning, and it's supposed to pretty much rain the whole break. That's unfortunate, but we're going to make the most of it. Shannon and I are going hiking with some friends on Saturday, and be back home before the storm comes. Then, we're going to get together with some other friends and just bum around town a little bit. We might go into Seoul or explore somewhere new. A lot of places are going to be closed, so it's going to be a little bit tricky finding things to do. :)
Fall is officially here. According to my calendar, the first day of Fall isn't for another few weeks. However, I think it came early. The weather has been BEAUTIFUL!! It's cold in the mornings and at nighttime, so I sleep with my windows open every night. During the day the weather is around 70 degrees. Perfect. Shannon and I have been anticipating Fall for a really long time. It's definitely my favorite season. :)
