Reviving the blog!

Hey everyone!

I am reviving the blog with a different title and username. I realize that I didn't write much in my last exchange and why waste a perfectly good website by making a new blog when I have one made already? Therefore this blog will be forever be my either exchange/overseas adventures. As long as I am still in school, I feel like I will be embracing any and every exchange opportunity I can get!
So this time, I will be leaving for South Korea. In particularly Seoul. This time it will be a university exchange and I will be gone for year. At first I applied, thinking I wouldn't get accepted. Really to be honest, I am only a second year student and I am competing agains other third or fourth year students who really want to embark on an exchange. However, I did get in and now I am only 7 days away from my departure from Vancouver Airport.
Unlike my exchange to Japan, this time, because I am a university student (meaning slightly older), all the process and details are up to me to handle. So from the handling with the VISA's, applying to the university abroad all the way to transfer credits between courses and many other details.
As I read back to my entries while I was in Japan, I realize I wasn't as helpful or detailed when it comes to documenting and explaining my experience as I didn't update as often. I will update this a lot more frequently as this time I will be bringing my own laptop. From time to time I will post up a video or a vlog when I am lazy to write. 
Right now I am still in Canada but this is more like an intro post to what is going to happen soon and to look forward to it. When the sun is up and when I have time and sleep, I will talk about the process as a university exchange student. What needs to be done or researched. As I feel like my blog might help other university students who are thinking on going on an exchange someday.
So therefore, bookmark this blog and look forward to future posts.
I am super excited yet nervous about this journey to Seoul but I will embrace it with the same spirit as when I went to Japan. (^0^)b

Until closer to the departure date.

Blueberry picking day one?

Today... Was a freakin loooong day! I started pretty early around 8ish? Well I woke up around 7ish to get ready and my whole family along with my mom's friend went to the blueberry farm. It is an organic farm so everything is natural. Well it is a good thing for the customers but it is quite a challenge for the pickers. Since it rained last night, early in the morning the bushes were still wet. It was slightly chilly too. In a way it made work a lot more tolerable because it was so cool and I thrive on the cool weather. There was one summer where all I did was raspberry picking. From then on I never wanted to eat raspberries again. However that has been slowly changing. This time if I continue to pick blueberries I might I won't want to eat blueberries for a long time. That is a little sad but sadly it might come true. We worked for a long time until around 4ish and I didn't do well. However it was also the first day or everyone. I don't know. I only managed 2 bucket...

End of the semester!.... soon

So.... my 3rd year as a university student is slowly coming to an end... Exactly on April 5th it will end... That is if I don't take summer courses this semester. I am still wondering about that this year. Whether to do that or not. Anyways, I have exciting news to post today. I got an e-mail from the university, after FINALLY declaring my major of a general Pacific and Asian Studies BA, I can graduate next year in April. If I don't decide to minor that is. If I do decide to minor then I'm afraid I have to graduate in 2015 but if not... I can graduate next year... in April. How exciting is that? I know most people would like to be a university forever... but I think otherwise. I am kind of tired of school right now and just do something... mind numbing for a while I guess. However, I probably will get tired of that too quickly and need to find a job. I don't know what job I can get with my major but I'm not worried about that... as much... right now. What I am ...

Now that I am home

I have been back home for 3 days already. It feels more like a week already because this stupid jetlag is not helping me at all. Today is the 11th already. It doesn't feel like it. Today? Yesterday? well on the 10th, I meant to wake up earlier... like 10 in the morning but instead, I woke at around 4 in the evening. Just in time for the dinner gathering my family had with my aunt and uncle that came by from the other side of Canada. It was nice to see them again but the whole time I was kicking myself in my head because I didn't wake up earlier. Now I am suffering from the consequences... It sucks because outside... there is light already.  I should go to bed because there is another family gathering I have to go to at 9:30am and I have an orientation thing that I have to go to with the volunteering thing I am doing this summer at 1pm... and I think I might have to drive for it. But here's the thing... I can't sleep.  Sleep~ please come to me now... at least for ...
