Preparation

Well, today's Thursday. Tomorrow I check out of campus housing and head over to my uncle's house for the  weekend. On Tuesday, the 30th, I leave for my study abroad in Korea for 2 months. I'll get into the Gimpo/Incheon/Seoul airport the evening of May first and head back for the US on June 24th.
Yesterday JW and YJ invited me and MM over for a super yummy dinner ^_^  They are all such sweet and wonderful friends. I'm going to miss them while I'm gone T.T

I need to clean up my room -_-" but I don't like working in dim lighting and my roommate has control over the blinds.
I'm trying to figure out how I want to use this blog...do I want to use it as a journal? Because I don't want to put in the effort it requires to make it presentable for others' consumption.

Anyway, back to talking about my trip. I can't wait to get there. I would rather not deal with the stiff joints and twitchy legs that comes with extensive plane travel, but a few hours of being uncomfortable is worth an experience I would otherwise not have had.
...I wanted to put some pictures of Seoul on here, but I didn't want to download/save any of the ones I saw on Google. I probably will put some of the pictures I take on here. Maybe. -shrug-

The other people I'll be with on this study abroad also love Korea and Korean. I will be with people who are awesome and amazing. I think they are anyway... There are 10 girls going, none of whom are fluent in Korean. One or two of them has spent time in Korea before.  Wait...I'm almost included in the "been there before" group. It's an almost because it was only 3 or 4 days haha. There are 4 guys, all who are fluent (mostly) in Korean, either having served their missions in Korea or in a Korean speaking mission (one guy went to Australia, Korean speaking). The large number of girls may lead to some squabbles, but I think it'll be okay. I reallyyyyy~~ hope that we are able to work through any disagreements or issues without any real squabbles. It is a relatively small group and we're going to be living in close quarters, pretty much around each-other ALL THE TIME. Tempers will not be welcome.  
Well, I'll have to work on being a happy, patient person! ^.^ If I can do my part in keeping the group peace, then I can work past my own temper. Might not be super easy or pleasant though. But that's the way these go, yes?

I believe I shall go start working on things. I hope you have a pleasant or exciting day.
