the first new friend I made long four months ago  :3 Sung-Eun 

a feast after my finals at Jessica's Kitchen

these are photos that describe this month~
I am definitely enjoying my life here although it's tough.
With mid finals gone, I had the best two days yesterday and today :)
lot of eating and talking and stalking guys.
ahhahhahahaha

you'll understand once you are in a girls only school... lol

already mid term finals~~

omg, i havn't written for such such such a long time it feels weird to write!
I dont have a clear reason for it, but most likely cause I don't go online often as I used to in Israel.
Life is pretty busy here especially because it's my favourite mid term final season~~ omg I love it so much!

It's funny how my school started second semester only this August, and is already giving us finals. : /
But it's better that way because since we didn't learn much, our test range (?) is relatively small to other schools which takes it about two weeks later than our school.

Anyhow, um Last friday, I took English and Family Life tests...
In English, we had 20minutes for the listening part and 30 minutes for the multiple choice questions.
I was totally stunned when I missed the first question due to my lack of understanding Korean!
I mean like... I had no idea what the question was...so I wanted to guess.. but you had to choose two answers from 5 chooses which totally narrowed the possibility of getting right.

After the listening part, I gasped as I looked up the time.. We had 30 minutes to answer 32questions.
Now, All questions had a long passage of like 8 sentences. There literally was no time for anyone,not even for this Girl who lived abroad and studied at an England school for five years, to read the whole passage and finish all questions in time.

If it wasn't for the memorization I spent hours on, I wouldn't have finished the test. No way I could have.
I was told by my great friend that memorizing all the handouts teachers gaveout was the Only Golden Key to finish finals in my school.

AAAAAAAAAAh.
Although I answered all the questions by just reading the first sentence and realizing what the paragraph was about, I was totally running out of time I rushed all the questions.
I swear, my hand was shaking like parkinson's disease and sweating like hell during the whole English test.
Now imagine me marking my OMR card in that situation.

omr card is like this. you have five choices and got to color in(?) one of those tiny circles without going off the  outline thingy

       
it was fucking ridiculous.



On the other hand, Family life test was okay. We had 25minutes to answer 20 questions.
ho ho ho. no hard at all.
-.-

but ironically enough, I finished 4minutes before the bell and handed in again, with a sweaty palm.

In Korea, right now is Sunday night near mid night. Tomorrow, I am taking Science and Moral/Ethics...? (if you understand..)
you know, I like science. I am learning DNAs and how the Universe started and all about planets in our solar system.
but ugh, Moral... we learn about how to be a good citizen and how governments work and how we should respect others.. blah blah blah. Since it's not an important subject, I decided not to study.
I'm pretty sure my parents are too because they know 98 percent of Koreans don't study Morals..
(I feel so bad for my Moral subject teacher but this is the reality)



I needed a break from all so I decided to write a blog post.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I am suddenly craving for Krisphy Creme with a Latte.
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

bookmarks I wanna share

mckayla is not impressed 

If Japan didn't exist

In Korea, we learn Korean History everyday. That made me think how much thinner our textbook would be if Japan didn't exist at all. Seriously, Japan appears in EVERY DAMN PAGE IN our history textbook. It's fucking annoying and just makes everyone in our class get emotional toward Japan. 

Well yeah, China also appears often as Japan but they actually were nice to us. They didn't make us sign a trade treaty with bunch of unfair rules, or attack us at random times and threaten us to pay fines, or colonize us for more than 30 years. 

On the other hand, I learned how weak our nation was and how unaware we were to the international trend/ community. I mean, a Hermit Kingdom in the late 19th century? Gah, that was when the whole globe was inventing new machines and when everyone was doing financially great!

I think Korea was just too scared to go outside and meet foreigners. 

If that.. makes sense? 

lol

YAYAY

YAY our shipment is FINALLY GONNA ARRIVE NEXT WEDNESDAY
omg thankyou . 

video of my way to home from church

hai.
gonna show you some videos with crappy sound and visuals. lol
I recorded on my awesome SKY phone with Android system.

the video is literally, "to home back from church at 11ish on a sunday morning"
as you can see from my house, that I didn't exactly clean and never that disorganized except that moment, OUT SHIPMENT DIDN'T ARRIVE YET. ALTHOUGH IT HAS BEEM SOMETHING LIKE, I DONT KNOW, TWO MONTHS.

it took 4 months for our shipment to arrive in Israel from Seoul cause it meet a hurricane lollllllllllll
omg it was the funnyist thing ever, when I was in 8th grade band class,
me: um Mr. Harvey, my cello won't be arriving for another month because it met a hurricane...
Teacher: oh.. (wide eyes) okay then.. it's fine it's okay.

First Week of Korea

Hello everyone, it's about time for me to write a post about Korea. It has been a hectic week.

Saturday: The moment our plan landed in Korea at 3:04pm in Korea, my mother turned around and whispered to my ear, "Welcome to Hell,". The 10 hour flight was scary as hell too because of the turbulence. We experienced like 20 of them at the last 3 hours. Thanks to that, I couldn't sleep relaxed and had to read the safety information paper thing5 times. I memorized it. You never Know what could happen.
When I arrived to my uncle's house, I immediately fell asleep for 5 hours. I missed dinner. And had to go through the torture of not being able to sleep until 3am.   

Sunday: I didn't do anything. I stayed home and played with my uncle's dog. SUCH A CUTIE.

Monday: So right now, I live in Il-San. It's outside Seoul (as you can kinda see by the orange outline) but its very developed. There's like everything in this town.But I have to live in Gangnam because of my dad's office and because Gangnam is best known in Korea for its educational academies and schools : /. I can't believe I have to be one of those people in Korea to live at Gangnam, the heart of all education. EEEks. 
Anyway, we left home early and headed to the phone shop. I was totally blown away by the number of phone stores. I swear, I am not lying, there is a shop every street you walk into. I was astonished again when the seller told me they only sell Smart phones. 

I WANTED A FILP PHONE. NO NO NO NO THIS CANT BE HAPPENING.

So I bought this Vega phone

It's okay..
I then went to my old town in Gangnam by bus and visited two future high schools I am considering to attend. They are both girls only high schools.. and are well known. But I want to attend a coed school.
Unfortunately, to be accepted to those schools, I have to hand in my papers. But since I am currently living out side Gangnam, I can't apply to them
