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!

[REVIEW/FAN ACCOUNT] Xia Junsu Solo Concert

This is a review. A very laid back open personal review on the concert... maybe I should actually call it a fan-account... but I am going to be critical about it so... I shall call it a review. A review on Kim Junsu or Xia Junsu's solo concert. Yes. Anyways we arrived at around 2:30 at the venue and there were a lot of people already. Never underestimate Junsu fans. First thing first, we decided to get our fan goods. There was a total of 9 goods that you could buy but to be honest most of them look tacky and the only thing I wanted was a light stick and possibly a slogan because they looked classy. The line up to buy the goods was very long. So they tried to make it shorter by lining up everyone with 4 people per row. The weather was hot and it was a good thing those who were part of the Junsu's fan club started handing out small Junsu fans. I am so glad because although they were small, it helped quite a bit with the heat. Fan goods! The concert didn't start until...

Seoul Grand Park Zoo

Last weekend I actually did something interesting... at least on Saturday. We went to Seoul Grand Park, especially to the Zoo. It is located in the southern part of Seoul and the park is really a Grand one. The zoo, as well, was really really big. It was really cheap to get into as well. Only 3000KRW! We couldn't go around the whole zoo because it was a Saturday meaning there were a lot of people! I could walk and be at the zoo all day but with that many people at the same time, I had my limits. Being in Seoul made me realize how much I did not like being squished in between people. my roommate took the picture! ^^ Statue in front of the Ape Jungle! It was the 6 of us going to the Zoo this time. So we made our priorities on which animals we wanted to see and went there first. The zoo was humungous and was smartly divided. All similar species were together, or the animals that live together in real life were bunched together. Each section was themed. It was really cool! We wen...

Limbo time

Right now it feels like I have gotten over jet lag I have just become slightly lazy for the past couple of days... Its going to be hard when I have to start my part-time job I have to wake up pretty early. Actually more than that I have to wake up early for my first semester as three times a week I have a class that starts at 8:30 in the morning. Now why I chose that class? It's because it was a requirement course so I kinda had to take that one. Of course they offered other times but it would interfere with another class I wanted to take. Anyways my new roommate are still trying to find a place in Victoria to rent. However we have made some slight progress a we have arrange for viewings at a couple different places already. I hope one of the houses we see next week follows through or nor its going to be hectic until august. Well worst come to worst school doesn't start until September so we have a little over a month left. I may be starting up catering again next week so I ...
