Last minute things and such

December 14
Friday

Today I learned that you can’t do everything at the last minute. Actually I probably learned this lesson many times before, but just never learned from it. Anyway, I went to pay and pick up my ticket to Korea today with Fay, and while we were waiting I suddenly got this unease feeling, a feeling in which I only get when my card (debit) is rejected. I was reassured when the little nice Asian man tabbed me on the shoulder handing my card back. I didn’t know what to do. I’m oceans apart from home and I seriously thought my trip to Korea was over because my bank wouldn’t allow me to pay for a $750 ticket to freedom. Right then I just remembered my bank put security on my card. One in which required my pin number or else I wouldn’t be able to pay for anything over $20. I asked the people if I could enter my pin number, they simply said that you couldn’t do that because the card is run through as credit. So, there I was, not knowing what to do. So I just simply thought I could withdrawal it all from an ATM. Turns out my bank put another restriction. I can only withdrawal $200 a day. I was so frustrated. Today was my only day to pay for the plane ticket. Fay being the great person that she is offered to lend me money, I was hesitant, but took the offer and will pay her back before I leave for Korea next week. I ended up borrowing $450 from Fay and Tim. So, everyday this week I will be withdrawing $200. I’m just happy Fay and Tim offered to help me out. It was much appreciated.
