1 week and 3 days

It's official a week and 3 days until I have to go back to Canada. I already moved out of the dorms and moved into a hostel. The hostel I am staying is relatively close to downtown Seoul and it is relatively convenient to go to places. Especially with the bus.
I just got my grades today and it's relatively high for the amount of work I did. I'm surprised and quite relieved. ^^ With school out of the way and worry, I can explore Seoul a bit more. My friend from last semester has decided to come back to Seoul for the summer but too bad I can't stay here as long as she can. We have decided to go around places together along with my roommate. (Yes my roommate in the dorms has also become my hostel roommate.) Today we are looking around Insadong a little more. Every time I come here, there's always a new thing that we discover because I tend to skim around places and every time I highlight different points. Right now, we are in a cute cafe that have delicious tea and it's very cozy. It's called Namu Coffee & Tea. The music BGM is also really nice.
There are a couple things I plan to do in Seoul that I haven't done yet. I would like to go see Nanta the Cooking Show. They say it's something to watch and the tickets are definitely cheaper here! Especially during the summer where they seem to have a 30% discount at certain locations so I'm going to look into that. I would like to go to another music show again but I think my last one would be Simply Kpop. Since the only kpop artists I really want to see right now are kind of hard to get into with. Especially with comebacks like Super Junior and 2NE1 coming up. Yeah. Maybe I'll try to get into with Younha, if she comes back in time. There hasn't been time for me to do the DMZ tour but I think I'm okay without that right now. 
There have been a couple farewell parties that I had to attend last week. It's quite sad but it was inevitable. Part of me is feeling, I'm ready to go back to Canada when I encounter things that has been annoying me during my stay in Korea and other times I'm like... I don't want to go back. The friendships I have made, the regular hangouts, the food, I have gotten used to life here but at the same time... I do want to go back to Canada as well. Primarily because it would be nice to go back to a country where I don't have to do mental translation in my mind every moment. 
I am having some down time today and one of these days... I might need to start reorganizing my suitcase a bit. I realized I was 7kg over the last time I checked. I think I might have to bring a suitcase as my carryon. I really really really hope I don't have to recheck in at Shanghai. I don't want to have to do that because this time I only have 2 hrs? layover. Plus it's the same airplane carrier this time instead of an operated by carrier. I am really crossing my fingers. My guitar... such a hassle... but at the same time it has helped me quite a bit this year. My flight also leaves pretty early in the morning... glad I still have friends here in Seoul that is okay with waking up early and helping me to the airport... Well I'll try to get rid of more stuff from my suitcase until them. Oh how much I hate packing... T_T but hey, I'm only 7 kg over. That can be easily fixed by putting that on my carry on and some around my guitar case. Packing worries.... I hate it.

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...

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 ...
