Week 47: Cherry Blossom Eyes

Ha, the cherry blossoms still hung around for me post-midterm.  The Yalies gathered at 여의도 (Yeouido) for a little 휴식. Apparently, so did everyone else in 서울. Poor timing, maybe.  After being there, though, I’d say it was nice to see that the work overload…

Week 46: April Showers

I am not a fan of rain and it essentially was omnipresent as I “studied” for my midterm. To be honest, at this point, I cannot study Korean anymore. I need to use and practice it in order to see any gains. It makes sense,…

Week 42: Embracing the End (and Extra!)

Dude, jet lag is mad real. And that basically explains my Sunday and Monday in entirety. Even though this trip was only two-thirds the length of my eurotrip, I’d definitely say it took a greater toll on me due to the dramatic climate change I…

Week 38: Déjà Vu

Well here we are, all over again, ready to leave the country again immediately following the end of my semester at Ewha. Summer is way more like winter than you’d expect. My semester was filled with a learning curve for dance, a bunch of random…

Week 37: Picking Myself Up

I realized this week, as I started falling onto the floor breaking in good ways, I have yet elaborated my b-boying experience to you all. So let’s start now. As you may recall, my hip-hop instructor, Double-D, is incredible. Unsurprisingly, so is his main crew,…

Week 36: Forward & Backward

It’s kind of weird how fast my week transitioned from looking forward to reflecting back. Let me explain. The beginning of the week was pretty exciting as Emily was going to present some highlights on her time working on open laws for the San Francisco’s…

Week 35: Wedding Bells, Again!

To be honest, few things make me feel more adult than receiving a personal invitation as a guest to special events, particularly weddings. In my time in Korea, I have attended two (three if you count the one I accidentally crashed) already, both of which…

Week 34: Most Wanted

GUYS! I MET MOS WANTED CREW! (Well, only 5 of them but still…) WOW! I took two workshops taught by Brian Puspos and Lando Wilkins, respectively. As you can expect, due to their difference in style, each workshop focused on different movement styles. Brian’s has…

Week 33: Way Past Midway

So I took my midterm for Ewha and although language school still sucks, Ewha definitely did suck less than Kodae because the midterm did actually reflect on the work we did throughout our time in class. Admittedly, my disdain for the Korean language program is here…

Week 32: Reigning in a New Year

Alright I’m going to focus in on New Year’s for this blog as it is a holiday I particularly value. New Year’s was pretty weird for me back at home because most years I would have to celebrate at home alone because both my mom…
