to the same answer again and again, "I don't know."

So yes, I've encountered another setback on my tumultuous road to the "land of the morning calm." I've tried to push off the fact that I'm stuck here for what looks like another few weeks. Why? Well the last time I submitted my criminal check was back in July (remember when I thought I was leaving in September? I miss those naive days), and the Korean embassy doesn't accept criminal checks that are 6 months old. So within a span of 3 days, I got my criminal check for another $50, went through hellish ordeal with lawyers to get the thing notarized for $20, and express sent it directly back to Korea for $18. I've been tracking it every single day and it's been longer than 5-7 business days so why the hell have they not received it yet?!?! So please people, I'd appreciate it if no one gets on my freaking case about why I am still here. I am here, I am unemployed and have been for the past two days and already getting non-stop bitching from my mom about being unemployed, and I am free almost every day to hang out seeing as I will be here for an undeterminable amount of time.

Watch I make all of these plans, and then I am called to leave the very next day. Just my luck! And speaking of luck, how FORTUNATE am I to still be in the country when John Mayer comes to the ACC to play songs from his endearing "Battle Studies" album.

Oh wait, I'm not going.

So the day started with me and James when I picked him up at Square One early in the morning. We went to Waterloo Mennonite Brethren Church and the service was a very emotional one, dealing with the passing of a member of church who went to Haiti on a missionary trip. Very sad =( but just makes you appreciate life so much more.

We picked up Mike & Jacey. You can't really tell from this photo, but this is Mike getting a beating.

Where did we go for lunch? Can you guess???

Oh yeahhh... CHINA LEGEND.

My favourite dishes! Somehow we managed to order all beef and no veggie dishes but oh so very delicious nevertheless. Ira, I hope you're reading this: THIS IS WHAT YOU ARE MISSING.

We hung out at Jacey's and played the funnest game ever: BAND HERO. The songs are so awesome to sing, who knew I could be rocking out to Taylor Swift? We then watched some hilariously crazy-ass weird movies that horrified me and poor James: Bad Biology and Teeth.

In Bad Biology, a boy's penis escaped from his body and started inserting itself into conveniently naked women.

Teeth is about a girl who has teeth in her vajayjay.

We met Lilian and Jackie at Morty's for drinks and I FINALLY gave her my XMAS present!

All of us at Morty's NOT on a wing night. At least there was half price on burgers with fries (it was only $3.99 what a freakin steal). My beer was more expensive than my meal

We hung out after at their place for a bit before going back to Jacey's and Mike's. We all talked for a while and they coaxed me into sleeping over because I was exhausted as heck. Me and James woke up at 7:30AM and headed back home this morning.

Parkway Honda is Mississauga Honda's sister as they are both owned by the same person. It's right near James's place so we just HAD to check it out (I also wanted to see my friend). And um hello, it's gorgeous inside. They have a cafe, everyone is super friendly and no one looks busy or stressed at all!!!

Arriving at James's place and showing off our McDees breakfast that James so kindly treated me to =)

James's Bachelor Pad. We didn't have much time but I just HAD to jam with James just once before I left this country. SO FUN. After I dropped him off, I headed to the Korean Embassy to get my crap stamped so that's all taken care of and I got home around 1PM only to work at 4PM. What a great end to my fantastic weekend!
