So my first class is at 9:00am, and so I woke up at 8:00am got ready, ate some bread then headed out for class. I arrived at the classroom about 10min. earlier than expected, and already there were a couple...

orientation [day 2]
Another long day to go through today~ although today wasn’t as bad as yesterday, because we didn’t do a lot of walking which was good. We registered for our student ID card/bank account, and then we ate some lunch. Today’s menu for me was curry! In my opinion, nothing is better than my mom’s cooking haha~ but it was still pretty good! Then we went to register for courses!...
orientation [day 1]
Today was the first day of my 3 day orientation at Korea University. I was seriously sooooo nervous going to it because I didn’t know what to expect, and I guess the whole “will I make friends” mind-set made me kind of worried. BUT…….I got worried for nothing…haha~ silly me~ everyone was super nice, and my buddy was really great! I met super awesome people from...
FINALLY HERE...
what a gong show!!!!! I arrived at Korea at around 20:38 and right then already something happened to me….of course this would happen to me….ok so! I signed up for “korea university’s airport pick-up” like a month before, and they didn’t give me any information on what I should look for when I arrive in Korea (like….will they be holding up a sign saying my...
今晩わみんなさん！私は今日本でなりた空港に来ました。私の気持ちはいいです！日本はやっぱりすごい国だと思います。ok ya! so I arrived at Narita Airport in Tokyo and it feels freaking awesome! I’m in freaking Japan! Even though it’s for like 3 hours I am very satisfied~ haha~ I used as much Japanese as I could but all of them except for one lady spoke English to me…I guess I reek of foreign scent! Haha~ never the less I was proud of...
OK SO.....
I am here at the vancouver airport…I arrived here at around 7:20 (vancouver time) and now I am waiting here for a very long time. My flight to Tokyo is at 13:15 so I have a long layover here………haha~ I’m just killing time with the lovely i-n-t-e-r-n-e-t. I slept a bit on the plane so it seemed like a 10minute plane ride instead of an hour and 20min. flight. It’s...
I arrived at calgary airport and am currently waiting for my flight to vancouver. This is definitely a start to a new chapter in my life. I’m excited, nervous, sad, and surprised at my myself that I’m actually gonna go to Korea to study abroad! More updates to come! Stay posted!
so it begins...
i am saying my goodbyes slowly this week, and I gotta say…it’s pretty sad but exciting at the same time! It’s sad I won’t see everyone for almost a year, but it’s exciting because it’s proof that “me going to Korea” is actually happening!
I said my goodbyes with my cousins, aunts and uncles from ontario, with my cousins, aunt and uncle in Calgary,...
oh boy…..officially 6 DAYS until I go to Korea to study abroad for a year! Crazy how time flies……I can’t believe this is actually happening! This will actually be the first time I will be living by myself away from my lovely ‘rents and I am totally stoked! I think after living independently for a year, I won’t be able to come back and live with my parents again...
I am back from my adventures in ontario and now I’m gearing up for Korea! It’s been a huge gong show! I have to pack, do money stuff,cell-phone stuff….tuition, academic stuff! Blah!!!!!!!!
So much “stuff” to do that it doesn’t make study abroad appealing………but in the end it’s gonna be alright I hope!
