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!

Work work work

So ever since I went came back from Victoria (I was there to look or houses) I have been busy with work! It is a really good thing and it keeps me busy during the summer but at the same time I get really tired at the end of the day. Let me start with my house searching adventures in Victoria. I wanted a place where it is cheap an close to campus. Yeah it is quite an idealistic approach but hey it's better than having no expectations I guess. However after going to look at places for three days straight, my future roommate and I got a little down from not finding anything and I almost compromised my requirements in order to have something. However, on the last house we looked at, we found something that both of us liked and that my friend liked as well. So that was good. Now all I got to do is to send some paperwork and the place is ours! Yes! I still cant believe we got that place.. All inclusive AND it is furnished AND it is close to campus! Ggah! I am soo happy. I had to go hom...

Back and forth~

By the time I was about to write about the rest of my Korean trip, I had to get ready to go home and then prepare to return to this side of the world to Japan. So my summer before arriving in Japan has been mostly been work and preparing to move out of Victoria and move overseas to Japan. Now that I have been in Japan, I feel like it's a sin for not having written anything. Arrived in Tokyo on August 3rd. We arrived an hour earlier than scheduled but that doesn't change anything because when you land in an international airport between noon and maybe 4 or 5ish, it's going to be super busy. Although as a JET participant, we were pushed earlier in the immigration line, we still had to wait for an hour or two through immigration and then pick up our baggage.  What's amazing in the JET Programme is that there's always someone there to guide you every step of the way until you reach your contracting organization. That is before the airport and after the airport. ...

Midterms has arrived and left

Every day I walk to school and it takes me about 20 minutes to get to school. Every time I go to school, I pass by this road and not long ago I just had to take a picture of it. The fall in Victoria makes the trees so beautiful. I love the color of the leaves on this tree. There is more behind me and it keeps getting better as I keep walking underneath it. Looking at this view everyday... I never fail to stop and wonder about how beautiful these trees are. I bet during the spring, this is even more prettier. The trees cheer me up is essentially what I'm trying to say. Coming back from Korea, I have to readjust my way of thinking and even think back in English again. Although that's hard because I am taking a Japanese language class, on top of that, I have a Korean language partner on campus as well. So my head is filled with many different languages... but I guess this is not really a new complaint and YET, why is it this year I'm having a hard time? I guess more than th...
