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!)
