Today is officially the last day here at Yonsei and in Seoul for many people. Move-out day is tomorrow at 11am. People are packing and saying goodbyes, and it's so bittersweet.
I had my last day of Korean class today -- it felt surreal. Like graduation but not... I think because I'm not leaving tomorrow, I don't feel as sad... But a lot of people I do know are leaving... sad times.
Among the people who made my experience here... I would definitely include my Korean language teacher, Park 선생님... Even though she made fun of me a lot, I feel like she definitely cared about us and wanted us to learn and was excited to teach us. I'll definitely miss her...
I'll also miss Megan :( I almost cried hugging her. The good news is Megan's aunt and uncle live in Berkeley and Megan is from Sacramento, so it's not that far... but still :(
I think I'm going to make a tag "People I'll Miss" haha, so I can reflect and remember.

In other news, today was an amazing day with Nicole... I finally explored Hongdae in the daytime, man does it look different. No drunk people falling over each other and vomiting in the streets... strange. Haha.
Finally went to the Hello Kitty Cafe. Gawd... SOOOO MUCH KITTY. SOOO CUTE. I'll post pictures and a video a little later.
The highlight phrases of the day:
쓰레기 통.
Eat the Kitty. Drink the Kitty. Be the Kitty.
Transcend the Kitty.
EEEEEEEK!!!!! SO CUTEEEEE.

Also, in light of the passing away of Kim Jong-Il... I found this blog posted on a friend's facebook...It was quite thought-provoking to me.

I read this on one of this fellow blogger's other posts, and I quite liked it and so, I'm going to copy it and use it as a mantra:
Live happy, live powerfully, live deeply.
