thwarted!

Once again, the fact that I don't have an alien registration card has prevented me from accomplishing a crucial task-- in this case, the task of getting my mandatory medical checkup done. I decided to call Hayang Samsung Hospital to find out whether I needed my ARC, and it was a good thing I did, or I'd have wasted a trip downtown. Yes, the lady said: you need your ARC to get the checkup.

Well, balls.

Upshot: with the Chuseok holiday dominating the rest of this week, and with my ARC technically ready on the 20th, I'll just have to go pick my ID card up as early as possible next week, then go right over to see the doctor.
