In Which Irony Humps My Leg

[akujunkan]

Those of you who had time on your hands recently will know about my trials and tribulations in trying to get my hands on the Korean/English/Japanese electronic dictionary of my dreams.

I had Korean class yesterday evening, as usual. Our sensei was a bit late, but when she did show up, she was bearing a box of the electronic dictionaries I'd been lusting after. She handed them out to all the students in the class who'd ordered them. And when, you might ask, did said students have a chance to order said dictionaries? Why, that would have been the week I missed class because I was in Korea, trying to buy said dictionary. How 'bout that.

That will be all.

Oh no!! On the upside, does that mean she would know how to order more?? Or are the irony gods implacable in their anger?

What a pain in the ass. Good thing is that she knows where to get them, right?

Right. She is ordering one for me, but she's charging a nice 'handling fee' for the privilege. Grrrr. At least I'll have the damn thing, although it's going to take another two months.

GAHHHHH. Just: GAHHHH! But hey, 1). you did a lot of stuff in Korea you enjoyed and 2). You can order or at least find out where to get the dictionary from the sunseng-nim. Win-win. =)

And ha! Did you note how I slipped in that korean? Bwa!

I know! I know! I could just hear Irony cackling away in the background when she busted out those dictionaries. She is going to get one for me, but it's going to take two months and a handling fee, grrrrrr.

Korea was awesome! I'm so totally going back. (It doesn't hurt that going to Korea costs the same as going to Tokyo, either;-).)

And yeah, I so totally scoped your Korean, since it's about 1/15 of my vocabulary at this point. Rawk!
