Perhaps Unreliable?
What If by Safetysuit / Breathless by Shayne Ward 
Okkkkkkkkkkk so let me try to pick up from where I left this blog at...
Ok so I kind of abandoned this blog for like haha.... > 3 months? I'm so cool for that -_-"
Let's see.. I was absolutely busy on studying for exams and finishing off last minute papers for my uni subjects in November. This essentially meant sleepless nights and stress filled days. I still had work until the 27th November I believe... then I had to pack to go to Korea!
I had kind of bad skin on the day of my flight (2nd December). Yea anyway....... My flight was delayed by 1/2hr or so, so I got to Korea later than I expected to. Although, it didn't make much difference in the end. Plus it took sooooo long to get my luggage from the ... place you get your luggage -_-" after you get off your flight........... yea.... When mine came around people started to look at it -__-" I guess it can't be helped because I bought, from my last trip to Japan, a pink coloured luggage case from Samsonite.
For some reason I've always hated walking through the arrival gates. Everyone's looking for someone but it just feels funny like everyone's watching you. Funny though -_-" not like anyone was there to pick me up <_< heh -__-"
So I took the airport bus after purchasing a ticket from the counter. At that time I didn't know but if I did I would have taken the bus that went to the back gate of Ewha Womans University. So in any case, I took the one that went to the actual station. The problem is, if you don't notify the driver, they'll just drive passed the stop. That is what happened to me -_-" so I got off the next stop and I soooooooooooooo very much regretted that. I had a 20kg luggage case, 12kg small luggage case, a thick jacket in hand, my netbook and my handbag/bag. The amount of the things I brought here in Korea isn't funny at all <_< I think it was close to weighing as much as me!
So I had to go through the damn station because there were no lights to go across there. Then on the other side, I needed to go up the stairs. I was so pissed off and I didn't know how I was going to get up the stairs. It was horrible... I stood there for a minute before some man decided to help me with my 20kg luggage case -_-" I was so thankful for that but then the next part was trying to lug all that to the dormitory. It was so difficult because the road isn't exactly straight... plus before that, I wanted to catch a taxi but no taxi would take me because they wouldn't have made much money and too much of a hassle. I made it to the dormitory without trouble because of my planning. ELC actually told me (and probably the myriads of other people) to go through the parking lot. But obviously I wasn't going to go all the way there, plus I didn't even know where that was. So when someone came around, I went in too ^^ Got to the office fine and checked-in. Had to fill in I think three forms. Also asked for a blanket for AUD$3 because I didn't have one at the time. If you are staying for a long time and a thin blanket isn't enough, I advise you to get one from gmarket. Which is exactly what I did during my second week.
Anyway, that was also the same day I met my roomie who also happened to be from Sydney but she's Korean who just wants to improve her writing skills. The following day I took the Korean placement test. Skipped some hard questions for which I did not understand because of the vocabulary. Also had to do a speaking test which was difficult not because of the question but rather a result of my last study of Korean being in 2008 <_< I got into the level I wanted to; level 2 - class B.
Spent the next of those few days eating by myself at nights because roomie wanted to eat in ~_~.
Started school on the 8th December, also bought my textbooks with some difficulty. Since then class has been difficult at times but it's less daunting these days. Slowly I am getting used to Korean being taught... in Korean. Like no English at all. I have just a few friends but most of which are leaving by the end of the semester.
I am also part of the song/singing club......... which is mostly the reason why these days I am completely worn out since we practiced so much and the day of the performance is nearing......... 9th February. Pooooooooooo my exams >_<
I went skiing... well snowboarding during the holiday week we had. Very bad................ like not only were the slopes not beginner like but I was learning how to snowboard myself -_-" balance is so important.......... it's scary but I will be trying again for the last time this year next weekend.
I sat the test for my Korean class and it wasn't all that difficult... well the writing scared me and so did the reading and I thought that was what I was good at. Speaking was a little daunting, not bad at all though. I got 91.5 or something out of 100 overall. I think they have some (excuse me) dodgy way of marking because I for one am not the kind that gets that good, especially speaking. I wonder how I got that mark.
The hard thing about Korean is the sequence. Mostly it is fine but there are a few sentences that I've read that were quite hard to decode -_-" The vocabulary is also hard because my brain is dead. My speaking has always been slow. Mostly because of my personality, I don't speak that much so the speaking practice part is rather difficult.
OOO which reminds me, I have successfully completed all my subjects for my uni course so now I am ready to graduate!!!! I got two HDs and a D for my final semester. O jolllllllllllly but too bad my gpa is 2.91/4............. I really wanted 3 but I guess that can't be helped -_-"
But as a result of my hardworking...ness... my eyes are screwed. I need to use my glasses during class, otherwise I can't see the board. Who would've thought I needed them until now -_-' No one really <_<<<<<<<<<<
I eat in mostly because no one goes out to eat really......................... everyone seems to like to eat in -_-'.... but I absolutely love Korean supermarkets. I've been to like 5 different ones ^-^ happy happy happy meee... but that reminds me... I need to go again :(
I love Daiso too but these days I've run out of things buy <_<
I like the shooting star flavour at Baskin Robbins
I like the fresh cream puff thingies... at Paris Baguette...
K I'm tired............. I'll be back...
! So I made payment to Ewha straightaway ... well almost straightaway! That means I will receive confirmation by next week. Which is good because now I can just focus on preparing for going to Korea between now and the time I leave.
