Soon... oh so soon...

Today, I got an email from the Canadian Embassy reminding me that I leave Korea soon and if I were to change my stay, I was to inform them. It was an expected yet unexpected e-mail but at the same time it kind of made me sad. I am leaving for Canada in about a little more than 3 weeks. (Oh just in case you were wondering why the embassy e-mailed me and knew about my time, when I arrived in Korea, I registered with the embassy here just in case something happened.) The things I have to do before I go back are piling up and because of finals and kpop, I have been procrastinating. Not good.
In a way I am excited to go back to Canada, get homemade cooking, have waffles and eggs for breakfast, and everything is in English! Sad thing is, I made all these friends, the convenient public transportation of seoul, the delicious cheap korean food, the kpop, the connections and relationships made here are priceless. However, this always happens whenever I go somewhere. I felt this way before when I was in Japan during my high school exchange.
Right now, I am having some down time from studying and tomorrow I have to do a presentation. Sighs, I need to organize things in my life a bit more and actually focus on getting goals done each day instead of procrastinating and being lazy. Have you had those days?
Except because school is surprisingly easy, but a lot of work, I don't feel like I'm in university but more like I am in high school. I know I will write a more reflective blog post when it gets really close to the time I am leaving but this is a month before blues post that was prompted by the Canadian embassy e-mail. Sighs...
On the bright side, here's a picture from my birthday party. Turns out my roommate arranged for all these people to come. Thank you! *she's also the one behind the camera... as usual... so you can't see her. I think when it gets closer to the time where people start leaving Korea, a group farewell party and picture is needed... yes. Sighs... I hate farewell parties. It's such a paradoxical word isn't it?
Anyways I'll stop procrastinating now and prepare for my presentation tomorrow. ^^/

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 ...
