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 was $15! We bought 2-piece saw in the end, if we included tax, the both of us ended up paying only $8 each. Well you save $3 or so but it's still savings! We also wanted to try something different on their menu as well so we decided on their seafood poutine which uses miso-clam gravy which was super delicious! We got the half portion which was $6. In the end we got double the portion by a normal price of just a 1-piece in the end. However it doesn't matter. We ate out today.
Afterwards we walked around as we looked at people. It was really strange? Or more interesting to see lots and lots of people in Victoria. Especially with their dogs. We figured it was because of the weather and summer is definitely tourist season in Victoria.
Since Starbucks has happy hour, it would be a waste not to get a 50% off frappucino eh?
Afterwards I went home to my cool basement which was much needed after walking in the 20 degree "heat" all day. Today may be the start of summer. Spring is definitely coming to an end this week. At least I really hope the weather forecast is correct these days.
Well if there's rain I can focus on my one class during summer school. lol
(Although these days I've been doing some French self studying. Which is actually much more fun then I thought. Learning on my own pace is better than how I was taught in high school me thinks... lol)
Anyways I'm going to return to watching this new Japanese drama I found. Good night or morning. Seeing as it is 2am right now. Hey! It's the weekend I can do this! lol
(Although I shouldn't I KNOW!)

Work work work

So ever since I went came back from Victoria (I was there to look or houses) I have been busy with work! It is a really good thing and it keeps me busy during the summer but at the same time I get really tired at the end of the day. Let me start with my house searching adventures in Victoria. I wanted a place where it is cheap an close to campus. Yeah it is quite an idealistic approach but hey it's better than having no expectations I guess. However after going to look at places for three days straight, my future roommate and I got a little down from not finding anything and I almost compromised my requirements in order to have something. However, on the last house we looked at, we found something that both of us liked and that my friend liked as well. So that was good. Now all I got to do is to send some paperwork and the place is ours! Yes! I still cant believe we got that place.. All inclusive AND it is furnished AND it is close to campus! Ggah! I am soo happy. I had to go hom...

Back and forth~

By the time I was about to write about the rest of my Korean trip, I had to get ready to go home and then prepare to return to this side of the world to Japan. So my summer before arriving in Japan has been mostly been work and preparing to move out of Victoria and move overseas to Japan. Now that I have been in Japan, I feel like it's a sin for not having written anything. Arrived in Tokyo on August 3rd. We arrived an hour earlier than scheduled but that doesn't change anything because when you land in an international airport between noon and maybe 4 or 5ish, it's going to be super busy. Although as a JET participant, we were pushed earlier in the immigration line, we still had to wait for an hour or two through immigration and then pick up our baggage.  What's amazing in the JET Programme is that there's always someone there to guide you every step of the way until you reach your contracting organization. That is before the airport and after the airport. ...

Midterms has arrived and left

Every day I walk to school and it takes me about 20 minutes to get to school. Every time I go to school, I pass by this road and not long ago I just had to take a picture of it. The fall in Victoria makes the trees so beautiful. I love the color of the leaves on this tree. There is more behind me and it keeps getting better as I keep walking underneath it. Looking at this view everyday... I never fail to stop and wonder about how beautiful these trees are. I bet during the spring, this is even more prettier. The trees cheer me up is essentially what I'm trying to say. Coming back from Korea, I have to readjust my way of thinking and even think back in English again. Although that's hard because I am taking a Japanese language class, on top of that, I have a Korean language partner on campus as well. So my head is filled with many different languages... but I guess this is not really a new complaint and YET, why is it this year I'm having a hard time? I guess more than th...
