So i always thought it was frustrating that my friend would never update about her life in Korea while I was in Canada.

now I am doing the same.

Its hard to sit here and write about my everyday life when I'm not experiencing many new things. I just wake up, go to church, go to a meeting or meet someone, tutor kids or adults and talk to some of the girls in my house and then sleep.

People are busy here and I only know people at church so I dont' really go anywhere exciting. Once people start their vacation it should be good.

But I'm learning a lot as well. learning to be on my own, not so dependent on people. learning to appreciate my parents. learning to save money and have self control when it comes to spending and eating. I'm learning to fit into the Korean culture but not to the point where I compromise who I am. I'm trying so hard not to be ethnocentric and trying to embrace this culture.

Pictures are hard to put up since I don't have a computer with internet and it's frustrating to transfer.

anyways, just know I'm doing well
I miss you all.
each week is a blessing and a struggle, but i'm appreciating it all ~

I think my emotions reflect the weather here.

Each day is different from other days. Today is super rainy and cold, but I feel good ^^

Yesterday and the day before was a major stress day despite the day being so beautiful. But I think I got some things sorted out.

I realized that being in Korea makes it harder to know what songs and dramas are popular. I don't have time to just sit in front of my computer and constantly be updated ㅠㅠ
But I got a free SS501 poster at the gs25 mart and now my love for kpop artists as been sparked.
ㅋㅋㅋ I want to go see some in concert and do some quiet stalking ^^

Anyways here are some songs that are popular right now....


김태우 - 사랑비


SS501 - Love Like This
(I heard this while waiting for my aunt and I liked it and am glad to find out its by SS501)


Park Bom - You and I


ENJOY!

Korea is getting difficult. I can't explain it so I don't know what else to say. There are a billion of little things.

Anyways, today I was doing one of my tutoring sessions and it was so good to see her progress.
She was having such a hard time saying "dosage" and "passage" and "cabbage"
Seriously, try teaching the right pronunciation to an older Korean person and its near impossible for them to get the ending right. HOWEVER, we succeeded! 성공~
I discovered a way to get her to stop saying GWEE at the end since Koreans always say that. Ah, it felt good to help someone overcome one of their problems even if it was a pronunciation problem ㅋㅋㅋ

귿대, 여기서있으니까 답답해....
힘들어.

I think I'm finally accepting my identity as a Korean, and I don't think it's by my own choice.

Also, the novelty of all the little shops and cute stuff has died so fast. What's wrong with me? I was so excited to take a billion of sticker photos and buy cute clothes and accesorize myself with all the 1,000원 stuff that they sell. 관심없어....Someone said its me growing up, but who knows.

Oh my gosh.
Walking is a pain.
I'll post pictures soon of these intense hills I have to climb.

I bought super expensive jeans in Canada.
But if I keep walking these jeans may no longer fit me.
Hmmmm

My days are tiring. I get exhausted easily. I'm one of those sleepers on the bus hahah
