Bad and average days.

Yesterday... it was relatively a bad day.
First, stayed up a little too late the day before because of the tweets I was receiving from one of the members of WE. and then woke up a little too late for my first class so decided to just sleep in and not go to class. >_>  I'm sorry.
However did go to my afternoon class, which was very interesting but at the same time confusing. This is my East Asian religion class and we are learning about Taoism. Taoism is very interesting but sometimes it goes around in circles and sometimes really hard to grasp the philosophy behind it. Despite these difficulties I really enjoy the class. Also, it was only a one hour class so it's not THAT bad. After class decided to chill in a coffee shop and work on a fan project for WE. This is where we were translating fan letters from English and Japanese to Korean. Hard task but we managed and made a pretty book. Still not done yet because we need to make sure the Korean is okay and understandable for the members. After that was about to go home, when I realized I lost my key.... and then while looking for my nonexistent key, my backpack broke...
It wasn't a good day... so my roommate and I decided to buy an ice cream cake from Baskins and eat it all up and watch some dramas. It was a good idea because I felt better and today became a relatively average day.
I went to my Confucian Ethics class. Today was about filial piety and loyalty and it's original meanings and modernized meanings of the term. It was very discussion based in the second hour but at the same time, I can't really talk or speak my opinion because... I always seem to get shut down. So... I decided to not speak in that class... and just listen. Right after was my comparative film class. We discussed about the 1988 Korean film: Chilsu and Mansu which we watched on Tuesday. It was a really interesting film about social structure struggle during the transition period in 1980's Korea. Great discussions, went back to get a new key which I lost yesterday. After that I went back to my room to watch a drama before going out to eat dinner only to come back to chill in front of the computer. These days, there's no urge to go to a kpop show or to go out. My recent classes are not really handing out homework or essays nowadays. So, decided to take this time to catch up on the readings I am behind on last week. Starting next week I will have a lot of readings to do and possibly midterms to study for. Also this weekend is JEJU! YAY! Oh! Going to get my yonsei jacket tomorrow!
I hope tomorrow will be an exciting day!
OH~ It will. My roommate's family are arriving in Korea tomorrow. We are going to go out to eat together. Yay! Even though they are not my own family, it's going to be awesome to meet my friend's family.
Well, can't wait for tomorrow to come!

Jeju Island

Last weekend, my friend and I and her family went to Jeju island. Since my friend and I still have school we decided to only stay for 2 nights and 3 days. Her family was going to stay a couple more days than us. However, first we arrived in Jeju at around noon and met the tour guide. Since there was 6 of us all together one of us had to sit in the back. My friend's sister did it on the first day. Once we arrived, we wanted lunch and we ate some galbitang. Galbitang is basically rib soup? or beef soup? They stick a piece of meat in a soup and you add salt and pepper to your own desire. It's very bland without salt and pepper and without all the side dishes they provide you. Since my friend's parents are not good with the spicy foods. Galbitang was good but it took a lot of time to eat. On the way to our pension or resort house thing?, or the place we were going to stay over at, we stopped by the beach and took some pictures. The view was beautiful and the color of the ocea...

First 4 days of Orientation

Midterm week

I cannot believe that this week is almost over. I did not think I would survive this week properly but here I am, on a thursday night writing in my blog. On Monday, I had my second midterm. It was my East Asian Religion & Culture class. I only had a 2 hour study session for the class and afterwards, I didn't really study much to be honest. So I was a little nervous coming into class that day. The teacher assistant came late, so it just increased my nerves for the day. When we finally got the exams, I realized, I knew more of the midterms than I expected, it was just a lot of writing that I had to do. I found myself writing the same themes over and over again but with different words. In a way that was relatively similar to the way he was lecturing his classes and the way Chuang Tsu has written his philosophy. It is basically the same but there are variations of the same theme I feel. Anyways the midterm went better than I expected, however, you never know what might happen. So,...
