Now that I am back home its so weird to think that I was in Korea couple days ago. If feels as though I had never left. It's like I picked up right where I left GA. Korea seems like a dream. an AMAZING and mesmerizing dream.

I remember when I was saying my goodbyes, it was getting more and more depressing every day. Finally, when I said bye to my grandma I broke down and started crying after I saw her off. I'm so bad with goodbyes. I hate saying them so much. I always try to leave with a smile and laughter and playing off the bye. I just really hate saying bye.

Saying bye in Korea was the WORST. It's depressing to think that I might not ever see these people again. How do you say bye to people that you don't know when you'll see, IF you'll ever see them? People that you hung out with EVERYDAY and every week for 2.5 months. Isnt it sad? Maybe thats just me.

Well, its official that this was my best summer EVER. I learned so much during this summer, met SO many great people (some who I consider my life-long friends), and played hard. :)

Thanks Seoul for an amazing, unforgettable summer. I will never forget you.

Next on my agenda, BOSTON. I don't think it has hit me what I am about to embark.... I'm getting a little scared.

10 Days Left

Seriously, WHERE DID MY TIME GO?

It really feels as though yesterday I got on the flight to come to Korea and now I have 10 days left. I do NOT like this.

My planner is packed every day of tons of stuff to do before I get back home. I feel like I can't breathe. Just thinking about all the stuff I have to do before I go back home is overwhelming, but don't you worry! I am gonna see/do everything I possibly can before I have to leave. I am on a mission! =]

Korea is truly escape from reality. Going back home means I have to prep for school and omg I am dreading like anything. Just the thought of opening up a textbook and having to study is making my blood curl. *shudder*

I got an e-mail about my bill from Tufts this weekend. I have avoided looking at it. Everytime I look at my bill I want to hurl. I hate grad school. I hate money. I hate how much I have to shell out/be in debt for my four years. It will take me 15+ years to pay off this debt.

Is it bad that I'm dreading going back home and picking up where I left off? Please, can I not leave?

PS. Excuse the emo post. Its a Monday.

Why I like 홍대

These are some pictures on why I love this place so much. I can't believe I never made it out to Hongdae before til a week ago. Ever since last Saturday, I've made it out there 4 times. I love that its 20 - 30 minutes by subway. Gosh I love where I live. These pictures are in no particular order. Please excuse my amateur photography. Hopefully I'll get better! There will be more picture series to come. My friend took me to all the places that aren't so heavily populated and the area where most locals like going. I definitely went a little giddy while I was there. Thank you for being so good to me. <3

Contemporary. Art. Loop: i fell in love with this place SO MUCH

koreans and their obsession with old school bikes. i TOTALLY approve.
