an update?

gotta be honest, im only accessing internet so much right now cuz im bogarting the computer in the study lounge. loll. i wrote a journal entry that i was gonna post but i havent had time and im much too lazy to go get it.

well... in all honesty? don't really know what im doing here in korea... hahahaha.

goes to show you, lost kid in america is still a lost kid in s. korea.

im kind of disappointed because i really wanted to volunteer at the hospital with sick children... turns out i can't cuz of a class conflict... but stilll. oh wells. instead, i signed up to volunteer at a childhood center. the only thing that kinda makes me er... is that im volunteering by myself in a designated time slot instead of with other students (it'd be nicer cuz then i could make a friend, lolll). but i like working with children, so yah... crossed fingers they are nice?

okay, 10 minutes till class registration. i can do this. loll. what else to write about???? i fbed and emailed and i think im kinda talked out? crazy aint it?

it's nice to be a part of eap. cuz i meet people that way. and the staff are very nice -- they even gave us gifts! a yonsei shirt and very nice towel. and its also nice i guess to consistently meet people. i don't really have a problem with hanging out and meetin eap kids... i mean, i want to meet and befriend as many people as i can to find a niche, you know, a core group of people who have similar interests as me. but then to just meet ca kids adn hang out with ca kids is super limiting.

actually i have a story. we were handed a signup sheet and i turned it in and i checked all the boxes without really knowing what i was signing up for. and one of the activites i signed up for was soccer. X_X. i don't even play soccer. though i did really want to in my youth. doesn't help that the team seems 100% boys only... oh wells. the captain seemed quite a sad fellow, really really hoped people would join. i feel bad for him. so i suppose ill go to a few events adn then bounce forever.

my korean isn't that useful. probably cuz im awk using it. but also because i forgot most of it. i left my korean workbook at home.... bad idea.

many regrets but many hopes and dreams...

damn 5 minutes till. i don't know how much more i can write.

hope my ramblings were interesting. until another time. peaceeeeeeeeee

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...

Slow Down, I'm Moving Too Fast, You Know You Can't Catch Me

I went home to San Jose this previous weekend with Xuemin and though we didn't do much, except a small barbeque at the house, it was definitely nice just getting away from Berkeley. We tried a new pho restaurant, Pho Que Huoung, oh so disappointing. We also tried Hiro Sushi, also another disappointment (read Xuemin's yelp review for more details). But again, it takes tasting something not so stellar, to know what you consider delicious. We finished moving on to the new summer sublet on Wednesday and though it was a hassle, we have now settled in. At the time, I wasn't really thinking about the distance from campus but as I walked by at 9PM after my class ended, I definitely was conscious of everything -- the darkness, the shadiness, the distance... I miss our old studio :( Classes are going pretty good. I'm enjoying both the Antebellum U.S. history class and the Racism in U.S. Law course. In both courses, we have just finished discussing Andrew Jackson's pre...

Library Adventures #2: A More Ambitious Haul And Notes on the Last Book Haul

I'm happy to report I finished all the novels I borrowed from my first haul and I have a few notes I wanted to share about the books following my update on my 2nd Library Adventure :) I attempted to be more ambitious this time around and I chose books from a diverse selection of topics. Note to self: I definitely need to have a bag with me to carry my books around. My selections include: Super Freakonomics: Global Cooling, Patriotic Prostitutes, and Why Suicide Bombers Should Buy Insurance // Steven D. Levitt & Stephen J. Dubner      * I really enjoyed Freakonomics and so I figured I should also check out the follow-up work. Man Made: A Stupid Quest for Masculinity // Joel Stein      * Joel Stein regularly contributes to Time magazine and his articles are usually the first ones I read when I receive a fresh edition, so I am excited to read a longer, in-depth piece by him. Barrio Boy  // Ernesto Galarza How Does It Feel To Be a Probl...
