So I usually don't post this quickly after having written. Not an issue of blog etiquette, I'm just usually a lazy writer. (It took me 8 months to complete one short story and I've written nil since then on that front). HOWEVER, today would not fall under the category of "usual." If this weekend came up 21, I just got the payout.
It started off as a rather lackluster day... an uneventful shift at the school I prefer (apart from teaching a class of 1st through 4th graders... as if there is something that can be effectively taught to that wide an age gap). When I got home I figured it would be a "business as usual" night. BioShock for hours and hours, cooking a crappy dinner, getting to bed later than I should...
Then the doorbell rang. My attention was on something else and by the time I got that situation under control whoever was out there was gone. The delivery guy was just about to leave so I shouted down to him to stop. I grabbed the parcel from him and ran back to my apartment, excited as a little kid on Christmas-- A PARCEL FROM HOME!
Lol, what's in it!
From the moment I opened it I knew it was going to be full of win. I mean mechanical pencils and Halloween Static clings? If course it's just going to get more awesome!
And it did!
First thing I noticed upon unpacking was a pair of jeans...
...with a dvd player in them!
Then I sorted out the other electronics-- with the
new power chord, Robert Paulson is back from the dead!
They also sent me stickers and flash cards
for my students. These kids love stickers!
A new razor, combs, tweezers, clippers, flossers...
I finally have a toothbrush here in Korea too!
...most of CVS Pharmacy...
...and finally, three of my favorite things:
Gum, Mechanical Pencils, and Halloween!
They also sent me some stuff for entertainment... three of my favorite movies: The Warriors, The Abominable Dr. Phibes, and Black Sheep. Also, I asked them to send me The Zombie Survival Guide. Coming to Korea I realized I am going to have to prepare an entirely different exit strategy and a whole new team for in the event of a zombie outbreak. "Head North" is, obviously, not an option.
Also, every plain glass surface in my apartment
is now heavily decorated with Halloween window
clings. Even my microwave has a spider on it!
This post is just to say thanks-- and to show my appreciation. My family kicks @$$ all over the place. This went from a "business as usual" night to one that merited a blog post. Still managed some BioShock, crappy dinner, and will probably go to bed late so... the Universe has righted itself. I now have everything I need-- until I bug them about sending me hoodies and my coat but I'll try and make it through half of November before then.
...since I practically won the Lottery tonight!
Goodnight, my freaky darlings!
