Middle of the semester

I have reached the middle of the semester already. All the mid-terms have been written. My grades are not as up to par as I would like them to be unfortunately. It's relatively sad. I realized my writing and essay organizational skills has really deteriorated. It is very frustrating! It is really weird because when I was in Korea I had to write essays in English as well. But I guess it doesn't really matter for them as long as my concepts and ideas were expressed properly. Although it was written in English I felt as if I was writing with a Korean thought process if that makes sense? I don't know how to explain it. However, it also doesn't help if I'm procrastinating writing these essays. It's like a double disadvantage right now. Sighs... Too much to do this week. Everything is all due this week and in a way I could've lessen the load a week before but at the same time I couldn't because some of the material taught only happened and ended last week. Can you tell I'm a little stressed out?
I managed to relax a bit by going outside of Victoria to Saanichton. Actually, I went there as part of my religious studies project and to visit a Hindu temple. However, while waiting for it to open, we explored the area and relaxed as we saw the very relaxed area with very beautiful views from left right and centre. It was very different from the city for sure. The experience at the Hindu temple was awkward at first but my friend and I walked out feeling very enriched in their culture and a lot more knowledgable about the Hindu tradition. We also happened to be there for a ceremony, so we witnessed that and it was long yet pretty and colourful. ^^
Well, I should go back to reality and finish more papers for this week.
Remember to change your clocks an hour back before you go to sleep tonight! One hour more sleep Yay!
Actually it means one hour more of essay writing....
Sighs!
I can do this!

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 ...
