Day 167, 168, 169, 170

Well here's an interesting story to tell from a seemingly uninteresting and boring time right now. As I was coming back from the Cheongyangi Lotte department store having bought my snacks, I was approached and stopped by some people. This was the second time I was approached yesterday, first time being someone lost and I couldn't help them...So I thought these people were the same too but apparently they were some religious recruiters. I think they were the equivalent to Jehovah's Witnesses in North America. Anyway, they sat me down and I watched a 10 min video/clip about their church. It was about the Heavenly Mother... 


Long story short, it gave me a good laugh.

Day 162, 163, 164, 165, 166

Well I have nothing to write about here besides I'm back in Korea. 
The flight yesterday was surprisingly ok, can't say the same for the terrible Air Canada dinner they served oh my god. Nothing like the earlier chicken with wild rice and mushroom cream sauce they had. 


But by some miracle, AC was actually on time for once.  Oh and I still don't have a roommate, and it looks like I'll have to wait until the beginning of the new semester to get one. That's fine though, get the room to myself for another month :D Almost forgot, got my grades back and all A's!

After 161 days I am back in Canada,albeit for only a short visit. But I guess the highlight of my trip was seeing Karen cry xD In all seriousness though, thanks for that reaction it made my day! And it made my visit in Canada that much more worthwhile.

Woo CANADA!! Feels good to be home, even if I came back during the coldest part of the year.

I'm just gonna keep this post short and simple. I can't believe it's been 150 days in Korea already, time is just flying by. Yeah, time is really flying by...


Seungho, I hope you have the best time on your exchange in the Netherlands and take care. I will see you in Canada soon enough, and I'll repay you for everything you've done for me in Korea, my friend and brother. 
This is not a goodbye, but just see you soon again!

Oh damnnnnnn, well obviously I've forgotten about this blog.... sorry Ada, Karen and whoever else reads this... But what can I say? There hasn't been any interesting over the past 2 weeks. I have now just, for the most part, confined myself in my dorm room and work on my stories/writing. I'm amazed at how much I can accomplish when I'm not distracted by BFBC 2... already finished 2 rough story outlines and am working on a 3rd while editing my first. So that's 4 stories I'm working on.

And I want to say Happy New Years! even though it's 4 days over already... Oh well I need to make up for it anyway.

I can't believe this, my post is actually normal!! No messing with background colors or anything!
