Spring is in the Air

Happy April Fools day~

I am actually not going to playing tricks on you all today, but rather let you all in on what has been happening since my last update waaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy back in the beginning of March. Well since I have some time before my Korean class this afternoon, I thought it would be good to update you all on what has been going on.

• School has started up and everything is going well. I signed up for a french class, so having to deal with three different languages on some day is proving to be a little tough, but it is nothing I can't handle.  
• The weather is warming up and all the flowers are starting to blossom. nothing beats walking down the streets and seeing all the cherry blossoms start to bloom on the trees. Everything just feels like spring and everyone is in a good mood. It is like the dark dreary cloud that was winter is now been lifted and everyone just wants to take in the sun and wear bright colors again. 
• On the topic of the sun, I have realized how pale I have gotten while I have been here. Looking back at the pictures that I have from when I first arrived to now, I have lost my lifeguarding tan. But at the same time, I kind of gotten into the Korean mind set to enjoy the sun, but not too much for fear of sunburn and weird tan lines.
• I have made some really good connections in the entertainment industry and have become the go to person in my program for all things related to music. I have also been roped into running an international fan site for Jackie Chan's new group JJCC by the actual official fan staff. 
• I have learned to appreciate black coffee (although I still need to add three to four sugars to it..)
• My spice tolerance has gotten really good, to the point where I am able to eat food that I could not even imagine that I would be able to eat for fear of burning my mouth. But sadly, I am not at the level of the Koreans yet. 
• My hair has gotten ridiculously long. Like it should have been cut a month ago, but at this point I am kind of wanting to see how long I can get it/ dye the tips that I am going to be cutting off when I get back to the states in a few months.
• Speaking of getting back to the states in a few months, my time is kind of stuck in a weird limbo. i know that I am going to be going back to the States soon and am truthfully looking forward to seeing my family and friends again, but at the same time it feels like I am getting ready to go on a trip  to visit the states. I guess I am trying to say that Seoul is starting to feel like home; I have friends, a (set) schedule, places that I can recommend to people to eat at, I know how the city works; This is my home--and I don't really want to leave it just yet. There is so much that I feel like I should do, but I really don't have the time to do it all. (Maybe it just meant that I can come back again someday...). 

Anyway, just a quick update on what is going on right now for me. I know that I have been really bad at updating you all on what is going on. I promise to be better at it!

Some of the cherry blossoms that are around the campus and are pretty much everywhere in the city!

It is finally ice cream time again!
