Today was relatively busy and relaxing at the same time.
I had my east asian religion and culture class in the morning which feels like a Taoism philosophy class. That's when it hit me that I have a midterm in this class next week and although I understand the gist of things in Taoism, I don't know enough to answer the questions on the midterm. So I realized I need to study more. The concepts in Taoism is relatively easy on the surface but once you get down to the interpretation that's when things get hard. Time to study some of these concepts a lot more deeply!
After class I decided to buy a big box to prepare to pack to ship my clothes next month. I forgot to buy tape though. >_> next time!
Today, finally I met my friends from Canada. After lots of schedule mismatching we finally met up. It was really nice to see them again. The last time I saw them was during the summer last year at her place. We met through being fans of JYJ and so when we met up again, I could spazz to someone about JYJ goodness. Since it was lunch time, we decided to go eat at Yeolbong.... yes... again. It's my 2nd time this week but you can't deny the delicious goodness of steam chicken! It's too delicious. While eating we caught up with how each other were doing, schedules and more. I'm jealous that my friends got tickets to see Elizabeth the musical (a musical that practically sold out in 10 minutes or less every time). I want to go too! (and if I put more effort in searching for tickets I could get tickets... but right now... my budget is diminishing as each time goes by.) It's so sad... Oh well I have all the free shows I can go to!
Afterwards we proceeded to go to Myeongdong, where we decided to go and look around.
It's the first time for me to be in Myeongdong on a weekday and it was relatively quiet. At least at noon. There weren't that many people at noon but once the sun started setting slightly, it started to get busier and busier but still not as busy as the weekends. Myeongdong to Seoul is like Times Square to New York. It's the main shopping district in Seoul. Mostly Japanese people go there and most stores cater to them by having Japanese speaking workers and Japanese writing everywhere. It's surreal sometimes when going there, mainly because at times it doesn't feel like you are in Korea, it feels like you are in Shin-Okubo or Harajuku in Japan. Mainly because the amount of Japanese people there. The main reason why people to go to Myeongdong is to buy kpop goods or make up or kpop related clothing. There's even kpop cafes advertised and catered to kpop fans. So going there as a kpop fan is always very dangerous.
Myeongdong is the heaven for kpop goods and maybe we shouldn't have gone there. No matter how hard I try to restrain myself from buying things, I ended up buying something. Today I bought the CNBLUE special limited edition mini album. Yes. I did. BUT! I only bought one CD today. yes. I need to control myself more...
My friends planned to go to Namsan Tower afterwards because it's only a 15 min walk from Myeongdong. However for me to go up to the top, it's quite expensive so I said my goodbyes there. Came back to an empty dorm room as my roommate went to watch a music show with SHINHWA! (i'm jealous again) Planned to do some studying as I promised to do myself this morning after class, but... it didn't happen. I promise to study more! I have to...
History though has shown a pattern in the way I study though. I always seem to do worse the second semester in high school. Why? The weather gets better making me even more lazier. Yet last year I did pretty well in my second semester of my first year in university. I think it has to do with the fact that the semester ended in April. This time my semester is ending in June. The weather is going to get hotter and nicer outside that I won't feel like studying. It's all about will power this time! I can do this!
Well I'll attempt to study from now on.
