Rambling Thoughts

Watched For Colored Girls (2010) in class today... What a beautifully touching, poetic film. Now I really want to read the book.
Went to AsiaSF with my classmates after class.... Suchhhhhh an amazing, hilarious chill place. Kind of pricey but definitely an experience. The women are soooooo gorgeous. The owner was such a sweetheart and complimented me to boot: "You know she's going to be rich, is smart, and is a virgin." Lol! Can't wait till I can go again and to the club too.

It's crazy how fast time flies. Summer session ends on Thursday...
On Friday, I have a doctor's appointment and then I need to pick up my visa and then I'm off to Washington from the 13th till the 20th. Then I leave on the 22nd for Seoul. Yeeeeeeeee!!!!!!

How do I feel? I'm not really sure, haha. I'm stressed, nervous, excited, worried, crazy?

So far my to-do list:
-Medicine (aka inhalers) and doctor's note on Friday
-Visa pick up on Friday
-31inch luggage
-netbook or new battery??? haven't decided... oh noes.
-shuffle/music device
-running shoes
What I have purchased:
-rainjacket

Sad really.... the contrast is so ginormous.

Lately I've been reading and surfing a lot of posts and I just can't wrap myself up in how real this all feels. People are so inspiring and interesting.

Here's just a few excerpts one of my favorites so far: Traveling Alone by Jan Haag (http://janhaag.com/TRter.html)
"No matter how much I want to go, especially to another continent, there is always a moment, prior to departure, of abject terror. It's often longer than a moment -- a day or a week -- when I would give anything to get rid of my ticket, cancel the idea I have put in my friends' heads that I am an adventurous soul, pull down the shades and stay where I am."

"For traveling alone, though it is the only way to go, is not something anyone, especially women, do easily. No matter how much you believe in it, no matter how much experience you have had already doing it, it isn't easy to take that first step of the thousand miles -- all by yourself. We've been trained otherwise."

And the last and most important quote I need to remember: 
"Each moment -- travel teaches you -- is divine: each moment on the road, each moment at home. Cherish it."

Korean Beauty Products

I could go on a tangent about beauty standards in Korea... but I won't. My goal is to review the beauty products that I have bought and tried here in Korea. In case you've ever visited Korea or ever plan to visit Korea, one of the first things you will notice is the overabundance of makeup stores -- Etude House, Nature Republic, TheFaceShop, Innisfree, Missha, Saem, It's Skin, Hanskin, Aritaum... the list goes on. Most of these stores are easily seen in shopping areas, university areas, and subway stations. In many locations, 2 or more of the same branches can be found within a 1/2 radius... I kid you not. Anyways, my point is that with such an abundance of stores and beauty products, it can be difficult to decide what products are worth it... and which aren't. The below reviews are solely my own opinion and derive from my personal experience with said products, so take from it what you will. *** First off, I'm actually going to review a U.S. product I purc...

huhhhhhhhh

You know how you feel when you are conflicted and then you get advice and then u feel unconflicted and then something inspires you or changes your mind and you are confused all over again. Yeah... that's where I'm at again. I thought I was sure about not extending. But even with all my doubts and logic, I still want to extend. Logically, financially, for all the reasonable possible reasons, all signs point to me going home... but the semester is half over and I have barely explored Seoul, much less South Korea, and Asia. My heart wants to stay. The heart wants what it wants. But my brain tells me to go home. But but... I think about it... and when will I ever have the chance to be an undergrad student at Yonsei again? At the end of the day, which decision will I regret more? Going home or staying? Pah..... ___ In other news, updates about my recent activities.... I went on a space tour company the other day/yesterday... not that interesting... after a short nap, ...
