Where are you now karmie?

So, May is slowly coming to a close and my goal for finding a part time before the end of the month has been accomplished as well. I FINALLY got hired yesterday and today was my first day on the job. I now work at local coffee shop part time. So I can still enjoy my summer and not be working behind a counter. I like the hours of the shop and that I don't have to work so late... just early. Although I guess it's been a really long time since I've worked, I am really tired after the first day of work and I only worked 4 hours! Sighs. As expected for the first day, I was mostly cleaning and arranging things, inventory etc. The basic things. The organization and planning that the management has put into the place is amazing! I don't have to ask what to do next nor am I doing the awkward standing around doing nothing because I'm new. There is a list of things to do and all I have to do is look and do. If I don't know how to do things, they teach me. It's pretty s...

Ever since school started, my motivation to study has been down. Probably because the weather has been really good these days in Victoria. Especially today! It went up to 20 degrees I think. I never really made sure though. When I see the sun, I am the type to be lazy and never want to study. However despite what I really want to do, I did manage to study some Korean language this morning. However, afterwards, my teacher and I decided to chill around downtown Victoria. The weather was so good, we decided to go eat some fish and chips. The best fish and chips in town has to be "Red Chip Blue Chip." It is so good that there's always a long line up at the place. I think we waited for about 2 hrs or so. However the wait was TOTALLY worth it! It was super delicious! Let me give u a tip when buying fish and chips. If u r together with a friend, it is so much cheaper when you buy a 2-piece and then u split the costs with a friend. At this place 1-piece cod was $10. 2-piece cod...

After a stressful 6 course semester, I managed to finish AND pass all of them. It's a miracle that I managed to get straight A's this semester. I've never gotten straight A's in my life and the one time I had the hardest time to complete all my courses, I get them. My mind is still blown at that fact. Really. However after April 5th, I was completely free! What did I do? First of all: Hand out resumes to find a part time job. Result? Still job less. I fail at job hunting. I need to be more proactive this month. My goal is to have a job before the end of May. At least the end of May. I hope. Second of all: Hang out with friends. I forgot to mention but on April 5th-6th I went to a university symposium thingy and I felt overwhelmed at the amount of high educated scholars that were there. It was awkward in the beginning but I definitely learned a lot from the symposium. It was a symposium specifically about the Two Koreas: Migration. Scholars from around the world g...

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 ...

It seems like this semester I am taking a lot of eye opening courses. I guess the messages and morals are basically normally heard everywhere but sometimes you hear it so much that it comes in one ear and goes out the other. This semester I am taking a Humanism film class that analyzes Japanese films that revolve around the theme of humanism. The film we watched today was one I have watched once during freshman and it's called Ikiru or To Live. Maybe when I was in freshman year I was already motivated to do things so my movie reaction back then was like, "that's what I've been doing all a long! Initiating change." However, watching it right now at this moment of my life, it kind of makes me want to kick myself and reevaluate what needs to get done right now. I want to say it gives me hope for myself for the future to do things but humanist way of thought doesn't believe in hope. Although the reasoning behind not holding onto hope makes sense on the humanis...

I would like to propose a question... rhetorical possibly but for my personal interest and a way to make my thoughts lighter. How long does it take for a person to realize their purpose in life? These thoughts were running through my head when I was walking downtown victoria two days ago with a friend, talking about school. In the end, our day to day worries really doesn't matter in the future so why really worry that much about it now. Do the best I can and in one way or another, I will be rewarded in the end. Even if that reward lasts for that present time. It's the way towards simple life... possibly. It seems hard to realize as I really think about it, I am just starting my second semester of my third year and soon in september I will be embarking on my fourth year to almost graduating. I thought these thoughts wouldn't appear again after high school but now here I am thinking the same thing. It's relatively difficult eh? Hence, I am very jealous of people w...

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! Did everyone enjoy the holidays? Mine was mostly celebrated with family and immediately after new years, the next day I had to prepare to go back to Victoria and start the new spring semester. Looking at my semester schedule, I wonder whether I will survive or not. I am sure like any other semester I will, but this will be the first time I will attempt to complete six courses in one semester. I have always done four to five per semester. Pray I will go through this semester not smoothly... because I can foresee the tough times ahead but just merely going through the semester is good enough and not give up halfway. The good thing about the courses I'm taking though... I probably won't have exams during exam periods so my semester will finish on the last day of classes. Woot woot. So what does the new year have in store for myself? Right now, I see myself attempting to get through this semester whilst finding a job whilst possibly finding a new place t...
