what I've been doing

hi peeps, although I am sure no one really reads my blog anyway, it's been two weeks since I left Israel!
I hope my dad is doing fine there and is taking good care of our belongings, and is eating healthy.
The weather in Korea is okay. It has been a typical spring here. Winds and sun coming and going. But now the raining season has started! There was a lightening just yesterday and the sky is full of grey clouds. It feels soggy cos of the humidity and the clouds. It's been a while since I even saw the clear sky. Actually, the day I came to Korea, I missed Israel's clean blue sky with whitest clouds in the world.

The past two weeks-ish, I've been staying at my uncle's house because we didn't exactly have a house to stay. Today, we came to this replacement house. It's super tiny. But no worries, I only have to survive a month and ten days. Our house we are supposed to go in is having a renovation. They are literally taking out the floors and walls and are replacing with new ones!! :D (yay, except for the fact that I don't like to stay in this migit house!!)

Things in Korea aren't exactly the ideal moment right now. I live in Gangnam, where there are 5 highschools I  can attend. three are girls-only and two are co-ed. One of the co-ed is not very well known for academics but for pregnant rates lol. But that's the only school I know I can attend. The other four, they simply don't have space for another student. So I am praying that someone in those school decides or has to leave the school. It's also super unfortunate too because all my elementary and middle school friends went all to one girls only high school. So I am secretly praying I could go there cos all of my friends. But on the other hand, I need guys who doesn't care about there grades so I could rank overall higher at final exams when I receive my report card. Just incase you peo didn't know, there are two main exams in one semester in Korea. Middle exam and the final exams. We take like 10 subject tests and when you get a grade, this program thingy ranks you how high you are in your whole grade. So when I was in middle school in Korea, there were like 400 7th graders. I was ranked overall 105 and had different ones for separate subjects.
This rank can determine which universities you can attend, so it's super significant. : /

So this is my dilemma:


Option 1: Go to girls only highschool where all my friends are, and enjoy school life. But because girls are super competitive, I will get a lower grade. 


Option 2: Go to co-ed high school and don't fall into traps and be healthy. You won't have any one you knew before. But I will receive higher rankings than going to only girls school.

so I guess it's this: Friends or Grades?
