Mid-Term Update

So just a quick update since it is mid-term!

Kpop

  • The rookie groups AlphaBAT and JJCC know me by face and name now (both the members and the management). Perks of being one of the few foreigners that go to their things.
  • JJCC Pride Rock (the twitter fansite that I co-run) is going good. We currently have about 66 or so followers with the prospects for more as we start to publicize and reach out to the international JJCC fan community. 
  • I went to the Mr.Mr. showcase last weekend and had an absolutely amazing time! Not sure if I am going to go to all of their promotions, but one or two on the weekend should be fine!
  • My official KissMe goods have not come in, but my official BABY did a few weeks ago! (Don't worry Kaitlin, yours are on their way!)
  • I am slowly trying to get out of the Kpop circle and start focusing on other parts of Korean culture that I want to do before I leave in about two months!
School
  • Classes are going well and I am currently in the middle of my midterm week so everyone please send me good vibes if you can!
  • So far my favorite class has to be my French class because I am pretty sure that I am the teacher's favorite. I think I am one of the students that has the best pronunciation and is the most fluid with my french, but everyone is pretty good. It is weird being the only foreigner in a French class. I am always the voice of America when we do presentations because my teacher keeps wanting me to talk about the States. 
  • I had minor freak outs trying to register for classes and also getting my room for next year back at Sewanee. At first I was having trouble connecting to the wifi on campus on my laptop because I had to register for classes int he middle of my classes here in Seoul. Then I connected to the wifi, but it was suuuupppppeeeeerrrrr slow ( I blame all the people on Facebook in the middle of class). Then later I needed and override in to a required class, but eventually everything turned out alright.
  • Getting housing was another matter. I had messaged people a few moths ago looking to see if I could set things up but I think we had communication errors because I really did not hear back form anyone. Then I had thought that I had a proxy, but then communication errors so I was frantically messaging people before my Korean Speaking exam. Long story short, I was able to find a proxy and got a really nice room too (sorry dad, not elevator this year either)! All in return for a CD and Candy from here in South Korea~
So that is about it here in Seoul. Mostly just same old, same old. Since some of my classes are not meeting this week because of midterms, I have a whole line of posts that I am currently working on and should have posted soon. 

Hope everything is going great where you all are!
