Moved out, moved in

Did not go to the institute like I said I was going to with my BF. We decided it was better to call in sick until they got sick and fired me. Meanwhile, Saturday BF and I moved all of my stuff into his apartment. He has a three room place and we kind of live together like we are married. He is super clean, but not to the point of being weird about it. I love him so much. He is so cute. So Monday I called in sick. Tuesday I called in sick. Wednesday I called in sick. Thursday I called in sick. Then Thursday afternoon I get this call from the director. He wants to know where I am. I told him I was at home. He said he and the head teacher are knocking on the door to my apartment now and I am not answering. OMG! I quickly changed the story to being at my BF apartment and guess what they did. They went inside my apartment!!! Can they do that!!!??? Then they started asking me where my things were and they sounded angry, so I hung up. Friday they called back and said I was being fired. I asked about the release letter and they said they wouldn't give me one. I cried and hung up. My BF called the director back and talked to him for 15 minutes. BF talked and director yelled. When the director yelled me BF would hold the phone away from his ear and make funny faces. Did I mention how cute he is?! Somehow he got the director to agree to give me a release letter. I asked him how he did it and he said that you have to shame them into giving it. He said the reputation of the school should be more important than a letter. He was very convincing. Thanks Babe!

Long time no blog

It has been a long time since I blogged and there are several reasons for this. First, I don't have a PC at my home so I have to go to the PC room. Eww. Too many smokers. Every one is a smoker. I almost get asthma or something just being there. Reason number two is that I am quitting my job on Friday. Well, actually after they put my salary into my bank account. What will I do? Well you might be suprised but I am moving into my boyfriend's apartment. Crazy right? But Melinda! You haven't even been working there but only a little bit more than two months. And Melinda! You have been dating him even less than that! Well, whatever! I love J and he loves me. And it was kinda his idea to move in together. I mean, we had been almost living at his place as it is. His place is a lot bigger than mine and the boy keeps a clean place, I'll have to give him that. He told me that I can stay at his place and find privates or get a new contract if the school will let me. He says he will take the day off on Monday and go with me to the institute to quit. I don't know if they will be super-angry or what. Koreans kind of have bad tempers. I don't know the logic of this decision but I can't work there anymore. Everytime they ask me to please understand them I want to scream. No more bullshit.
