A Clean Room

Without my school bag, I am ill prepared for a day of studying. So, I take the oppurtunity to clean up my surroundings. During this time I am reminded of a few things that I seem to have neglected in my overwhelmed existence.


I am in Korea.


Somehow, I seem to have forgotten that I am really in Korea. At least, temporarily. The pressure from classes, the miscommunication between schools, and most of all: the constant use of English. Not a day goes by that I do not hear English. Everyone in the world knows English and they use it as the common language amongst the otherwise unknown languages.


Now, taking the time to rethink my room, and thus, rethink how I was living everyday, I realized that I need to put my own personal efforts into what I do, and what I want to do.


Also, I have found an amazing girl, and might've been caught up in that and forgotten where I really am. I am determined to learn Korean, and not just have a loose understanding. With this, I want to try to maintain this and try to write in Korean small entries when I can.


Smooth sailing.
