2nd semester go go!!

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 to stay. I have to start thinking about summer plans as well, whether I will take summer school or not. On top of that, the funding is a big worry for myself.
Some might say, I should not worry about the summer stuff and think about my semester and just make sure I don't fail all my courses. That is of course a priority for me so when asked about my plans for 2013... I only have a four month plan so far and that is to study and not fail these six courses.
I received a great motivation today as I picked up a final essay I slaved over last semester and received this encouraging mark a long with encouraging comments throughout the paper.

I am so happy and proud that this paper will be my motivation for this semester. I can do this. The prof even said that she would like to use my paper as part of her course, when she teaches the course next semester. It was a simple and small gesture but it made my day today because even though I slave over and feel like giving up, if I work on it for a while, I can do this. This semester, I strive to be more organized and write most of my essays like this. MOST, not all because I know it's impossible, no matter how you think it, as I will have 6 courses. One of them is a language course on top of that. 
This paper... will be my motivation! yes.

Jeju Island

Last weekend, my friend and I and her family went to Jeju island. Since my friend and I still have school we decided to only stay for 2 nights and 3 days. Her family was going to stay a couple more days than us. However, first we arrived in Jeju at around noon and met the tour guide. Since there was 6 of us all together one of us had to sit in the back. My friend's sister did it on the first day. Once we arrived, we wanted lunch and we ate some galbitang. Galbitang is basically rib soup? or beef soup? They stick a piece of meat in a soup and you add salt and pepper to your own desire. It's very bland without salt and pepper and without all the side dishes they provide you. Since my friend's parents are not good with the spicy foods. Galbitang was good but it took a lot of time to eat. On the way to our pension or resort house thing?, or the place we were going to stay over at, we stopped by the beach and took some pictures. The view was beautiful and the color of the ocea...

M! Countdown + JJ PROJECT!!!

So... today. I decided to not go to class at all because I needed to see JJ Project's debut stage in person. Yes. I went to see this performance in person. It was completely worth it! JJ Project had a pre-recording, so it was nice to have their debut stage with only their fans. The time that was indicated on their fan cafe was at 9:30 but my friend and I came at around 8:30am. We got our numbers after sending in our names to the fan manager and I was originally number 15 but when it was time to line up again at 11:00, I was pushed up to number 11! We were given blue JYP wrist bands and the fan managers wrote our numbers on it. They also handed out the fan chants, a temporary large JJ Project banner AND they handed out a stamp card. The stamp card is really motivating me to go and see them for every performance. I brought my own and good thing we were allowed to use them. (Since some fan clubs are more anal about it then others.)    We got inside around 11:30 but we ...
