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.

[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...

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 ...

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...
