I finished moving! Probably around 6PM. Mostly because 짐을 한꺼번에 옮길려고 orange cart를 빌릴려고 1층 public safety office으로 내려갔는데 왠 백인 여자애가 자기 짐 옮기느라고 5개를 혼자서 다 예약해놨다. 왓더핼, 한 사람 짐을 옮기는데 crate 5개를 쓴다고? 정말? 진짜로? 응? 그런거야? 응? 응?

결국에는 혼자서 직접 옮겼다. 6층에서 4층을 왔다갔다하는 반복적인 육체적 노동. 그리고 새로운 카드키가 전에있던 방문을 열어주지 않아서 까끔 다시 내려가는 1층의 public safety office. 그래, 지금 이사가는건 건물 채 옮기는게 아니여서 인성과 인내심을 키워주느라고 학교에서 짐꾼을 보내주지 않은것이구나 허허, 허, 허허허허허, 으허, 허.

뭐, 그래도 짐을 옮기고 방안에있는 가구를 (나에게 편리하게) 대충 옮겨놓고는 너무 피곤해서 잠들어버렸다. 으어, 책장 조립은 내일 아침에 해야지. 룸메이트는 다음주에 온댄다. 그래, 내가 일찍 와있는 만큼 나에게 맞게 다 바꿔놔야지. 메롱.

아, 이메일 확인해보니까 일러스트 교수님 중 한분이 수업 시작하기 전에 읽어오라고 책 두권 내주셨다. Frankenstein 이랑 The Power of the Myth. 내일 또 책 사러 가야겠군.

I had to pay for a new ID card because before the new room at 15 West was mine they just gave me a temporary access card for the summer. Now that I'm living here I need an actual card of my own.

I went to the RISD museum today before going to the grocery store. 한국인 학생 작품이 정말로 많다! 물론, 학생 작품은 전체작품의 10분의 1도 안되지만. 학교내에서 이런 박물관이 있다는게 놀랍다. 아주 크지는 않지만, sculpture에서 painting에서 또 에술적 가치가있는 여러 나라 유물들도 있다는. 거기다가 디자인 쪽 작품들도 있다.

사실 오늘 마트에서 갑자기 장조림이 너무 먹고싶어져서 대충 장조림 만들거리를 (마늘, 생강, 설탕, 간장, 계란, 홍두께살... 이거 맞죠?) 이거서것 카트에다가 넣어놨다가 이걸 정말 사서 만들어먹을까 말까 한참 계산대 근처에서 고민했다는. 안사고 그냥 왔지만 방학때 집에가면 엄마 좀 부탁해요 ㅎㅎ

Ok so as it turns out I've been too busy working out the details to how and when I'm going to move to my NEW 15 WEST DORM APARTMENT and doing laundry that I haven't been able to go to the grocery store. Uhm, I guess that's okay, since I still have more soup and rice in the kitchen. I'll make some rice stew! Or something else that's edible, hahahaha.


P.S. I love you.
I'm in the middle of packing and organizing again :D

MY PHONE JUST DIED ON ME.
아빠 제가 일부로 끊은게 아니라 핸드폰 배터리가 나갔어요 ㅠ
여기서 잘 아껴먹고 잘 살게요 핸복하게 잘 지내세요
사랑해요~

The weather is getting cooler nowadays. I don't know what to do with myself these days sometimes. Other than camping out at the Financial Aid office and staying in my room, there really isn't much to do. I wish the semester started so I could go around doing something substantial.

Hahaha, now that I have a lot of food, I kind of really DON'T want to eat it because if I start eating it then it will all be gone :( Hahahahaha.

I never thought I'd say this, but I really miss my family.

I've been writing a lot nowadays. This is good, I have sat down and written much in a long time.

I MISS YOU ALL!

Eh, I was thinking about maybe going to Boston tomorrow, but I decided today that I would rather eat well than spent money on trainfare and then ending up buying food at a restaurant.

두번 일보기 싫어서 많이사기는했지만 대충 학기 시작하기전까지는 잘 아껴먹을수있을것 같다! 과일이랑 야채가있다는게 너무 행복하다는!

아빠, 이멜 받으셨죠? Is that all you needed, or is there something else I should also check for you at Student Accounts? Like I said, since the wire transfer you sent is dated, you don't have to worry about it getting here late. :)

I'm in the middle of trying to figure out how I can go about changing my cellphone plan, because I don't think I need so much of an expensive option since I don't really need to chat with my friends on the phone that often. 거기에다가 핸드폰 차지+Top-up (바로 돈 안빠지면 서비스를 일정 기간동안 제공하면서 가지고가는 차지)만 내는대 들어온 돈의 5분의 1이 나가니 이게무슨 웃긴짓인가. I walked so much today trying to find out where on earth Salvation Army was because I really didn't feel like dropping $40+ on a new pot and eating utensils. 중고(?)이긴 해도 속에다가 물끓이고 죙일 박박 수세미로 밀어주니까 그래도 꾀 쓸만해보이는것 같다!

일단 막을것을 막고 당장에 필요한것들을 사긴했지만 더더욱 아끼지 못한것같아서 너무너무 미안하다. 정말 잘해야지 나때문에 늘상 가족 쪽이 힘들어하는것같아 가슴이 아프다. 정말 잘해야겠다. 아니, 잘할것이다.

I went looking around the 15 West dorm and some RISD student who was moving out gave me his old foldable wooden bookshelf. I'm going to go around and try to freegan things before the semester starts. It's a really good bookshelf too; almost new.

I love you all. Bye.

This was taken while I was packing & cleaning my old dorm room. 그래서 뒤에 배경이 어질어져있음 ^^; 짐가방 어딘가에 카메라랑 코드가 있는데 못찾아놨어요;

Haha I never take pictures of myself nowadays. 몸에 장난치는거 안하니까 그건 걱정 마시고.
I called the Bank of America office today. They only have certain days when they process international money transfers so I think I have to wait until tomorrow. I got some food from Jinho unnie so I'm good.


OH, I went to the financial aid office today but there was the same response. If you are not a taxpaying citizen, you are not entitled to RISD financial aid. BUT the good news is that I met THE PRESIDENT of RISD Ms. Denise Siomkin and she asked for my name and phone number and that she would call me if she could find anything.

Wooooooooooo!

Thanks for the phonecall yesterday. I'll make sure to do my accounts daily now.
No money spent yesterday or today. The money you sent me hasn't showed up yet but I'm assuming it will show up by tomorrow so no worries. I just ate the last of my cereal and I'm going to go to the Financial Aid office again at 2PM since I don't want to barge into the office when everyone is gone for their lunch break.

Thanks mom, dad, Wonsun for putting up with my troubles. I'll make sure to do well and make you all proud.

I love you.

So today is the last day of precollege so I teamed up with a precollege girl to get some food.
I'm sorry that the accounts took so long but at least they're done now.
I really need money for groceries because today is the last day that the dining hall is open and I have NO MONEY for food. I also need to pay my phone bill, but there isn't even enough money in my account for that. I'm really sorry to nag, but I kind of need help right now. Sorry, and thanks.

So I moved into 15 West yesterday. It went smoothly except for the fact that we the movers only brought our stuff to the entrance of the library/residence hall.
We had to utilize storage carts to bring all the things ourself. The good thing is that I had the least amount of things. Everyone else needed 5/6 carts to bring everything up. I only needed one.

짐을 새 방으로 옮기고 대충 정리하고나서 앤드류한테서 전화가 왔다. 앤드류랑 같이 밥먹고 얘기하고 나서 앤드류는 다시 뉴욕을 향해 떠났다. 어쩌면 금요일날 여동생 짐 옮기는거 도와주러 올지도 모른다고 그때 또 보자고 약속하고 나는 다시 기숙사에 올라와서 방 정리하다가 일찍 잤다.

They also left my windows open while the painted the outside of the house.
And right now I'm using industrial cleaner to get the charcoal and crayon stains out of my walls.
Paint smell + industrial cleaner smell = @%^$#&#&Y%$UW$Y%$%WUQ^#@%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't stand this.

So I'm in the middle of packing up and cleaning up before RISD moves me to 15 West, right?
Well, the bonehead idiots that they hired to work on Congden hillhouse decided that it would be a GREAT IDEA to bust open my window and start sandblasting the building! WOW! GENIUS! NOW I HAVE TO FUCKING DEAL WITH A BUSTED WINDOW THAT I MIGHT HAVE TO PAY FOR MYSELF AND THERE'S FUCKING SAWDUST EVERYWHERE! THIS MEANS THAT I HAVE TO START CLEANING MY ROOM ANDF BELONGINGS ALL OVER AGAIN! YAY! BRILLIANT! SOMEONE GIVE THESE DOUCHEBAGS A FRIGGIN NOBEL PRIZE FOR MOST RETARDED IDEA OF THE YEAR!

....
I can't deal with this.
I can't find my light sculpture in the studio.
If it turns out that someone stole it then I will NOT BE VERY HAPPY.

Why won't these retards just let me be.
Christ.
I just want to RELAX before the semester starts. Is that too much to ask?
