Oh my~ I'm no longer a student.

Well~ it has been a verrrrry long time since I've decided to update this blog and I really do apologize. Being in Victoria, I figured my life has been relatively routine; juggling between my part-time job at the coffee shop, school and my personal time. Although as I was going through my last year of my undergraduate career, I thought that every day was super exciting, when I sat down to write it, I realize it was relatively personal and uneventful. Not compared to my days in Korea or in Japan.
However, on Monday, by handing in my last two papers into the office, it marked the very last day of my university undergraduate status. It is slightly a weird feeling.
YET!

here comes the most exciting news of all!

May 20th. I am off to Korea! Although originally I was going to go for a full 3 weeks. I might have to end earlier than I thought because my graduation ceremony is earlier than I initially thought. oh well.

I have a lot of time to go to Korea again because guess what again?

You are looking at the future English assistant teacher.

I will be teaching in Japan starting August if all the paper work gets properly processed through by the end of the summer. I can't believe it that I'm leaving Canada so soon! Just in March I was wondering what would happen if I wasn't accepted, I would still be in Canada trying to find work. It almost feels like my life is going as planned but as usual, I am ready for those curve balls that life likes to throw at you. Like the curve ball of having my graduation ceremony dated earlier and having to cut my vacation shorter to attend it.

Summer is all about work (perfecting my coffee art) and preparing to go to Japan and have a nice 2 week break in Korea.yes.

During the year, I finally have been training to do coffee art and on a good day, I've been getting coffee art consistently. yay \(^0^)/

The picture above is one of my best coffee art results on a mocha drink I made recently. tee hee.
Aiming that before I have to quit, I will make a beautiful rosetta... crossing my fingers. ;)

Well until something exciting next happens.

Transfer and Communication

So, I arrived in Seoul after a long 14 hour trip. 14? maybe even 15. The layover in Shanghai was brutal to say the least. Well the flight to Shanghai itself was brutal as well. First, there was no tv like i'm used to on long flight travels. Second, My laptop wasn't fully charged, so I couldn't even use it for long as I was saving it for the layover. Third, Food/service on the plane wasn't that great. I got 2 meals and some sort of sandwich snack. Also, I told you yesterday about gate checking in my guitar? Well, that didn't work out well. At least they let me put it in the overhead compartment besides it being a full flight. However, I sat beside a really nice person who helped me. The flight attendants were not really good at understanding English, so the person beside me helped me ask the flight attendants what to do and etc. So the 12 hr flight to Shanghai was brutal with me fighting to sleep or staring into nothingness, attempt at conversation to the perso

Osaka! Takarazuka! Junsu?

So where do I begin? Last time I told you I was going to update in Japan but I ended up not doing that because on the flight to Japan, I made friends with the person beside me. We somehow connected in conversations during the flight over that, before she had to move on to Shanghai, thought we should chill together a little bit more. (Which reminds me that I need to e-mail her). Anyways, the flight over to Korea eventually was uneventful besides the turbulence in the beginning, well landing in Japan was very turbulent as well. The weather was not great at that time to say the least. Landed safely and I was happy to see that my friends had came to pick me up. Keeping it Korean style, decided to take a picture of my arrival/reunion. We caught up with each other on the way to the friend's place I'm staying at, and it really felt surreal for me to be back in Korea. It was nice and welcoming at the same time it was... yup I'm in Korea... kind of reaction. Since my plane lande

Now that I am home

I have been back home for 3 days already. It feels more like a week already because this stupid jetlag is not helping me at all. Today is the 11th already. It doesn't feel like it. Today? Yesterday? well on the 10th, I meant to wake up earlier... like 10 in the morning but instead, I woke at around 4 in the evening. Just in time for the dinner gathering my family had with my aunt and uncle that came by from the other side of Canada. It was nice to see them again but the whole time I was kicking myself in my head because I didn't wake up earlier. Now I am suffering from the consequences... It sucks because outside... there is light already. I should go to bed because there is another family gathering I have to go to at 9:30am and I have an orientation thing that I have to go to with the volunteering thing I am doing this summer at 1pm... and I think I might have to drive for it. But here's the thing... I can't sleep. Sleep~ please come to me now... at least for

Where are you now karmie?
