I know you're all waiting to hear where I've been placed, but I promise, there will be a post up on Sunday! Promise. 😸
I'm here to talk about another topic. Let's talk daily life, shall we?
I'm sure many of you are curious about what I actually get up to on the day to day. Spoilers: it's programming/Korean classes.
To get started, my day generally starts at 6am...
...well, I realize I'm no longer sleeping and its a new day. My roommate is generally still sleeping, so I tend to snooze for the next hour-ish or so. I generally get out of bed sometime between 7am and 7h30am.
Breakfast starts at 7h45am, so I tend to show up a few minutes after. We have about 20mins to finish breakfast and then head over to our classroom building. It's the next building over from the dorm and class starts at 8h15am.
Korean Language Instruction (KLI) lasts until 12h15pm. Which means, I am in a classroom for 4 hours, learning Korean. Which isn't too bad. We get ten minute breaks at each hours. And 선생님 (the teacher) has been really fun and very informational! It's been great.
Lunch starts at 12h15pm and ends at 1h15pm. But our last hour of KLI starts at 1h15pm, so I tend to leave around 1pm.
Teaching and/or culture workshops start around 2pm. We also may or may not have a General Meeting as well. We get a lot of information between 2 and 5pm, generally.
Dinner starts at 5pm and goes until 6h30pm.
After that, we tend to have free time, or we go to office hours for extra help with Korean. Personally, I go on my evening walk and tour the area we are in. I've been getting some nice pictures these last couple of days. I'll have to make more of an effort to upload pictures!
Essentially, expect a separate post of evening pictures and another for my meals I have been having! Because the meals that Yonsei University has been giving us have been fantastic. You guys might be jealous.
Unless you're someone in my cohort reading this. If so...heeeyyyyyy Fam~!
If you guys want to hear about anything of my experience here, leave a comment and I'll make a post about it! Please don't hesitate. If my experience can help you learn more about Korea or answer questions before you come here, please-please-please-please!, reach out!

The Nerves are Here
Oh my gaaaawwwwdddd.
I'm so energized that I can't even sleep. I got maybe, maybe, 3 hours of sleep. And all because I fell asleep watching TV (I seriously need to rewatch that episode of GoT).Waking up on the couch was really startling.
So yes. Energized with a sleepless-ish night!
*takes a deep breath*
I leave for the airport in 6 hours...
...it's almost here and I'm feeling all the emotions. Excitement-anxiety. Happiness-fear. Joy-sad.
The only emotion I'm not feeling is anger. There's no room for that hot mess.
It's five am, I could be do something more productive than trolling on Facebook while listening to showtunes. I mean, I just have a few small things left to pack and that's only because I need them to get ready in the morning.
Sorry for the disjointed thoughts here. I'm a bit all over right now!

Bye Bye UCF
It is 7:46am as I write this post and all because this morning, it really hit me. 😕
This is my last day at the University of Central Florida. I've been here for so long (7 years!) that it's kind of surreal. In the summer of 2011, I started working part time in the College of Sciences' Dean's Office. In the fall, I started undergrad. A year later, I was working full-time and going to school. By 2016, I had my B.A. and started graduate school, while still being employed at the university.
I've worked in three separate and vastly different departments on campus. And from each area, did I learn something new about myself.
These last seven years...I really can't put a word to it. I am thankful and honored for all of the people who I've met and while some of the experiences were less than ideal, I am better for it. There are so many people I want to give shout-outs to, but you all know who you are. If we've ever interacted, even as little as 'hi', thank you!
Now, it is July 2018, I am a two-time graduate of UCF, about to move abroad, and am only 24 years old. I think I'm doing this 'adulting' thing right. We can compare notes^^
It's been an adventure UCF, but gurl bye. 😘
