I know I thought I said I would be updating more.... but, that was a lie!
I didn't lie on purpose, though. With a loaded school and work schedule, I don't have much time for myself. When I do, I usually watch movies or dramas. I don't even have time to RP anymore which makes me super duper sad!!!! ;____;
Buttttt......
With the exception of my roommate, who has no concept of personal hygiene, this semester has been good. I LOVE working at the front desk of my dorm hall. I get to meet all the residents and staff, get a behind-the-scenes look at how things are done, and get to witness pretty interesting situations. I've seen enough hookahs to last me a lifetime, that's for sure, and also drunks. Working at the desk means you get to hear all the details when someone gets busted for having alcohol or just doing something they're not supposed to do in the residence halls. ¡Muy interesante!
Also, Nicole and I are taking Korean classes. They offer basic language training classes at the International Student Center for 6 weeks out of the semester. They're only $25, too! Our teacher is super sweet and adorable! She's Korean, obviously, but she doesn't really have much of an accent when she speaks English. The class is small, which I like. There's usually about 4 or 5 of us in there, and everyone's just really nice. Korean is starting to seem a lot less scary now that I'm taking a formal class and not trying to teach myself!
I had a meeting with my adviser Tuesday and we talked about my classes for next semester. We also talked about when it would be best for me to take my study abroad trip. Originally I was planning to study abroad the 2012-2013 school year. After talking with him, though, it looks like it would be best if I waited another year and go to Korea for the 2013-2014 school year instead. That way I would be able to do an internship over there, which would be really cool! :) So, even though I have to wait longer, I know it will all be worth it in the end!
I can't say when I'll update next, but.... I'm sure it will be before Christmas! XD
