Accomplished goal!

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

Is it spring or summer?

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

Start of Summer School

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
