LOL, I just realized that by the way I left my last post all those months ago, it almost seems like I died from my sickness back then. XD No, I haven’t died, I’m still very much alive and still living the high life here. It’s still tons of fun to live here, although my priorities have changed a lot since coming.
Also, happy new year to everyone! My New Year’s Resolutions are as follows:
1) Continue to study Korean very hard every day as I’ve been doing recently. These days I do nothing but study Korean after coming home from school, and drill in something like 50 words a day. I don’t know for how much longer I can continue to learn quite that much (so far, I have been able to plant them firmly into my memory, and been very successful studying that much) because I may very well discover a bit later I can no longer retain that many words, but until then, I’m going to keep studying like mad. I’ve been way too lazy since coming to Korea, and since Sogang University just doesn’t teach you enough vocabulary (it’s still a good school, though, and I intend on sticking with it), I’m going to make up for that in my free time. My goal is to be able to read contemporary novels in Korean by the end of year.
2) Lose some more weight. I’ve already lost 6 kilograms since coming to Korea (without a diet, mind you; it’s something that seems to come quite naturally when living on a budget and in a country where the food is – on average – much less fattening), but I’d like to lose just a little bit more. The first resolution is more important to me, though.
That’s it.
I have just TONS of photos I took in the past couple of months, I’ll try to post them all within the next couple of updates.
