Budget woes!

Instead of getting paid this past Monday like I thought I would be, I actually won’t be paid until next month (4 more weeks!). So instead of my original budget (for a month) that turned into a budget for two weeks (after I learned my payday day), I really have to use the money for 6 weeks. Uh oh! I can make it, even with my upcoming trip to Seoul to visit my high school roommate for the weekend, but it will be a lot tighter than it has been. What I brought with me, even with the addition of 100,000 Won for start up costs, is still less than half what my monthly salary will be. Summary of my new financial planning: aside from a set amount for my trip to Seoul, I can only buy necessary food. No extras in any shape or form or I may not have the money for my phone bill (which will be higher than usual because of activation and registration fees or some such). Sigh.

On the up side, I have finally (after three trips in three days) wrapped up my mandatory hospital visits and can now go to the Immigration Office to apply for my ARC. There is a fee, though, so I might wait on it. Also, I only have a general idea of where the Immigration Office is located. What I wouldn't give for a comprehensive map in English.
