Cleaning and BBQ!!!

Today was a very average day. Finally cleaned up our dorm room and bathroom. Took out the garbage, did our laundry, did our bed sheets as well. Unlike other days, everything about today was pretty late. Well except for waking up. We got up around 9:30 ish? So not late or not early either. However, we had a late breakfast, a REALLY late lunch because we wanted to finish our laundry before going out and also a late dinner. While waiting for our laundry, I needed to clean my desk. I tend to pile things on my desk. I realized how much stuff I managed to accumulate in the span of one semester and a couple months. It's insane. So I decided to sort through the stuff I had on my desk and realized I could throw out most of it. From the magazines I bought, I basically performed surgery on them and cut out the pictures I liked and wanted and recycled the rest! yes! Through the cleaning today, I realized, I might need to ship a big box of my winter stuff and some of the CDs I managed to accumulate. In which some of them I didn't even buy. I'm wondering if I should give away some of my clothes away as well. Just to lessen my load coming back. Anyways, I have to think about that when it gets closer to me leaving. Next month. I'll think about sending things next month!
I don't want to think about packing! yet!

Once we got everything cleaned and actually got ready and decent to go outside, we went to get some lunch. Initially planning to go downtown but then we got lazy and decided to stay in the area. Not AS lazy as yesterday, we actually walked to Sinchon this time! Ate our lunch at starbucks and chilled at Cafe bene the rest of the time. Outside of Cafe Bene there was this row of beautiful cherry blossoms blooming. So sitting next to the window was really beautiful!
Beautiful Cherry Blossoms!

Thing is, in the morning, made plans to have dinner with my friends from Canada that we would have dinner with them. However, one of my friends started feeling sick so that got cancelled and instead we called out another friend and ate some pork belly BBQ~
It's really awesome because here we get full service and it's really nice because before they start the BBQ we can place our jackets and bags in a plastic bag. The bag is so that our clothes don't smell like BBQ. We got the usual, 3 servings of BBQ, rice and of course a bottle of Soju. ONE BOTTLE! I am very weak in alcohol but after eating out for BBQ a couple times, I realized I am slowly gaining a better tolerance towards alcohol. I knew this would happen in Korea though. hahaha.
Once we finished our meal, suddenly we got an extra serving of soup. We told the poor waiter that we didn't order it. He looked confused and then after a confirmation turned out we got the soup out of service. That's when we started speculating. Why were we speculating?
The BBQ restaurant's owner is the president of WE's entertainment company. Remember WE? yes. Anyways, when we got in, we saw that there was a fancy car in front. Also there was this private VIP area in the back that looked suspicious. My friend also tweeted a picture of the food. (The president is following my friend on twitter). So we started speculating that the food was given to us by the president. However, the reality could be that the manager of the restaurant recognized us and decided to give us service this time.
The restaurant's name is 팔차막창(Palcha Makchang) and it's owned by DJ DOC.

The restaurant is also nice because it has a music dj in which you can request a song you want to hear and the DJ was so nice because he could actually speak a little english. It was really cool.
Afterwards, we decided to have some ice cream. Baskin Robbins has this delicious thing as an ice cream fondue! Yes! It's amazingly delicious! Should get it more often! I wish I took a picture of it but it looked so good that we dived into it immediately and finished it relatively quickly as well.
When we looked at the time it was around 10:45 and my roommate and I thought we should do some karaoke but when it came down to it, it was a little too late.
Today was relatively interesting and productive. Tomorrow, we are planning to chill around a fan signing of CN BLUE. Just to see a glimpse of them. Again, I feel like the morning will be like today that it will be a chill day. YES!

P.S saw a little bit of the Canucks game and disappointed that they lost again.... they better win next time! CANUCKS GO GO!

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 ...
