Dad, hang on a bit longer please

HIYA!

I got internet installed today at the apt. My boss has also arranged for a telephone hook up. Both supposed to be done today by the same guy. Well, no. The guy who came only hooked up the internet connection.

I have a telephone number, just no hook up yet. My number is

82-64-900-8877

82 is South Korea's country code. 64 is the area code for Jeju, where I live.

I have an address. I have my apt address but my boss, Mr. Mun, asked me to have all mail sent to the school. I don't care .... Tell, ya what. I'll ask him about this. Maybe I'll give you my apt address. Seems the better option. But if he has some good reason why he asked me to have mail sent to the school, then I want to know. But right now, so far as I can tell, it would be better to have mail sent to the apt.

I need to leave for school in about ten minutes so I'll stop here.

Dad, I'll call you as soon as I've got a phone connection. But if I can't get one real real soon, I'll find a place to make an international phone call. Actually, somebody was supposed to come yesterday to do both connections. I told Mr. Mun that nobody came so he did something, and this internet guy came today. I'll see if I can get a phone hook up tomorrow.

My feeling is that I'd rather have a home phone than a cell phone. It's cheap. And I don't want to have a cell phone with me all the time. They're super convenient and everything, but, well ....

This internet connection is also really cheap. About US$22 per month. Set fee. High speed connection.

Troy.

Time&tide wait for no man. Call your parents (dad) now & all your wishes will be granted!
No cell phones on earth please!(I haven't been using what they call cell phone nearly 4 years & I think I won't).
