In Korea! pt. 1

SO! I'm totally in Korea, but I only have a limited amount of time to write this post! (sorry, but i have NOOO idea how to upload pics right now haha.)

Airplane Ride #1: So it totally sucks taking like transfer flights... I was like YUCKY, the whole flight.. just gets tiring and all that recycled air. BTW... i had a ridiculously small bag of peanuts haha! Then you have to of course pay for your headphones! blah!...

Getting to Orientation: So when I landed in San francisco I met a girl going with the Chinese group. She was funny! Haha. SHe had a 62 pound bag for her summertrip. This totally made me realize how UNDERPACKED I was for the semester. I think I should have SUPER packed. But I guess its better? Cause I can go shopping without worrying about the weight limit. YAY!
And I got to see SAMMIE!!!! (we went to Japan together the summer of 08) I was super extra happy to see her! I met like 47 other students going to South Korea and some kids going to China with an ice breaker. (the toilet paper icebreaker.) UC Berkeley had a pretty cool cafeteria, like cereal dispensers and organic food, it was yummers!

Orientation: So we had ALOT of ice breakers and totally  boring orientation hours, but it was all happy. My roomate was Z she was totally funny. haha. Then I totally had to repack everything after the 2 nights there. SOO much mess!

Homesick: I did get homesick, cause The orientation was long and gave us time to get homesick, but i feel wayy better now that im in SEOUL! It's awesome and I still have PLENTY things today and LOTS of time to do it. I know i'm going to be homesick again at some point. Culture shock is kicking in soon (the food and meeting my host family is coming soon!) So don't worry if i'm all negative at some point during my trip, it's normal! haha.

(so i'm running out of minutes again.. so I will continue again soon!)

Snsd- OH (super cute!)

South Korea flights! + Graduation

So i'm officially a high school graduate! Yay for me! We had tons of speeches, but it was a great graduation! I was the first one bawling across that stage! (like I knew I would be haha)


Me and Daysi!

(thank you for the cake vane!)

So, now all I have left to do is learn some Korean and get to packing! I'm even more excited now!

Nsli Update:
We totally go our flight information! I leave June 25th at 11:47 and land in San Francisco at 4:16! We will stay at UC berkely for about a day and a half... (two nights). Then on June 27th at eleven in the morning we will get on our flight to Seoul!!!!!!!! it's an 11 hour flight for those that don't know! I'm happy it isn't more than that! But we get to totally watch movies the whole ride and sleep! yay for me! haha.

A quick note about airplanes: I totally hate how cold they are. I'm gonna wear socks... jogging pants... and a sweater. (i'ma look like I just rolled out of bed! haha)

According to what everyone is saying. I guess we will be having a one week orientation when we get to Seoul? I'm not sure yet. But either way i'm extra exctied!!!

I got my luggage bag! (yea.. i should be able to spot this polka dot bag at the airport haha.)

Nice with polka dots!

I just started to pack (you can see my toothbrush! haha) and now I feel like my suitcase might be TOO small!!!! But it's okay.. cause i'm taking a bookbag. (and a hidden bag inside my luggage.. just in case!)

Song of the day: Bi rain - Love song (wahh.. he's still sexxy!!!)

Dear John, End of Senior Year, Nsli update

So, I just finished seeing Dear John (the movie). So it's wasn't GREAT, but it was good. I cried, just a little bit though. Channing Tatum is... SEXXXYYY. That's all i'll say about that. Anyways, the book was better as usual.

I'll officially be driving (for the first time ever) on the freeway for more than like 5 minutes! (who on earth is excited to do a 2 hour drive... only me.) I'm insured though...(my mom went crazy and put insurance on both the cars, even though I only drive one... but.. hey.)

We should ALLLL throw a party... Nah.... things will definitely get out of hand and I don't want to be responsible for ANYTHING. (If you go to Arts, you would definitely understand what I'm saying.)

On the 12th. Ashley's is totally on the 13th. (i'm happy about that, cause I get to go to hers too!)

April Loves black coffee:
If you've ever been on soompi you've probably seen this blinky thing somewhere in someone's signature. I'm going to say something... small. It was an AWESOME Fanfic. I cried a little and it's one of those 'i can't pull myself away from the computer' stories. I will totally recommend it to anyone. She has awesome writing skills, her foreshadowing is amazing and even the POV writing is done extremely well, I felt every emotion May was having. It was just good. So if you wanna read it log into soompi's forums and look for Conversations between us . (fanfic title)

Nsli Update
So, i've met more than a handful of the students going abroad on facebook. I'm excited to meet everyone and have fun over the summer and the rest of the semester! We are getting super clothes.. 21 more days!!!!
