Etiquette of studying in cafes and other problems
Is there an accepted etiquette for this? Not Nero/Starbucks etc, just normal cafes. As in, how long it's okay to stay having ordered one drink? How often you need to order? Is it pretty much okay to stay however long if it's not busy? So if I were to go after breakfast time, order a drink and then leave just before lunch time, return just after lunch time, order another drink / food and then leave around closing or before tea if it opens late? Would that be okay? Do you need to (or is it polite to) ask if it's okay to stay a while? I know the obvious answer is to go try it and see if you get told to leave / get angry looks directed at you, but if those things happen then I'll be too scared to visit a cafe ever again and that'll be problematic...

I think I'm kind of at the stage where I could give working a try. The problem is, my CV goes something like this "2006 - leaves 6th form, 2006-2009 - absolutely nothing, 2009-2010 - adult education course, 2010-2011 - university, 2011-2012 - absolutely nothing", which is kind of awful. And I have the choice of saying either I dropped out of university, or (the truth) that I'm intending to go back in October and so won't be staying around for long. Neither of those look good, do they? Is there any possible way to try and present this in a way that doesn't scream 'UNEMPLOYABLE'? I know, volunteering first etc, but by that would leave me with just a couple of months to find a job and work. And what can I do for references? I don't have any at all that would be okay :-\
I should just give up, right?

If you don't work or go to uni, how do you make friends? I've lived in this city for 23 years (minus 18 months) and I don't have a single friend here. That's bad, right? But idk how you're supposed to get friends when starting from scratch. I've looked at clubs and stuff, but there really isn't anything suitable :-(

Should I send my giraffe t-shirts to a friend in Australia to take to Korea and try and give to Ryeowook? Or hold on to them and try and give them to him myself at some point?

Should I just accept that Kyuwook isn't happening, get over it, and move on to a different ship?
