Hot and Humid; Summer 2010

After a dreadful first semester of just practically studying and keeping the focus on getting the results by the end of the semester, looks like the effort might have paid off, but unexpected things happened.
The grading system is very demanding and tough on the students.
I took this silly inline-skating class and hola, I got a crazy B0 for it. That's just below satisfaction and nobody ever gets that silly grade for sports subjects. thanks to the teacher in-charge, made my life quite miserable when its the time to party and enjoy the early summer holidays. I had to write some paper about inline skating, and about my perceptions and some introspection about it. Thus delaying my holiday mood till mid June.
Well, 2 weeks has passed since summer holidays start.

But well, not so much of a holiday.
Having to take compulsory general subjects like econs.
Econs is interesting! A new kind of concept to understand but at the same time really applicable in one way or another. Market, supply and demand lol
That Korean professor, taught for quite some time in Chulalongkorn university but speaks perfectly 'South East Asian' English. I could understand every single word he said. Compared to Korean professors who graduate from US and come back with non-American slang, but Konglish.
darn, talking about the difference between fighting and 'phaiting' . this is what konglish sounds like. with the f syllable replaced with 'ph' consonant or ㅍ in korean.

Well, I'm glad the summer is here.
Planning to go to Shanghai Expo in August to visit the world's biggest expo on technology. But the problem is not getting there but about being there. Chinese. Yes, communication is a problem.
So i decided to 'recruit' some chinese-speaking friends to go. Bah. I would have loved to go on a solo trip. Good way to see and enjoy the world for yourself =)

Besides that, getting back to normal life I guess. Doing what I've been doing since like 5 years old. Badminton tournaments in a few weeks time. Got to hit the jackpot. 400k worth of prize money @.@.. i bet everyone's training hard for the tournament.
Also at the end of the month there's another inter-uni tournament but its at the southern part of Korea. freaking 5 hours of drive from seoul. Probably a roadtrip which will be cool.

And yes, i need to score for my econs. mid-summer term exam this week and final exam at the end of this month.

Finally, I guess my friend's all having a good time back at home too. Semester break.
Happy holidays guys!

There're so much things i wanna do in the break, but already having another dreadful semester in fall makes me wanna study beforehand...hence, not so much play for now, but study too =/ Darn, no stopping studying. blame who? just blame the tough schedule of being an engineering student in SNU. Blah
But i need to slow the pace and do some reminiscing? well, if u understand
그 사람도 만났다 unexpected things do happen #.@

Looking forward to more fruitful days , erh!
Be back with maybe perhaps some nice expedition or some journey log next time!

buhbye~
