I went shopping with 관장님 and 사모님 today. I've been feeling a little down lately (homesickness), and he has helped me, being very friendly and cool ^^ he is 가장좋은 관장님 ^^

I had a 검도 test on friday, but I couldn't do it. I was easily distracted, and wasn't in the right mind to do well... I will do it next time. Its kind of strange - I would practice, and I'd get it right... But, when it comes to the test, I can't do it well.

I cooked Chicken and vegetable curry for dinner tonight. I thought it would be healthier than buying pizza again :)

I'm meant to be meeting a friend in 광주 tomorrow, but they haven't contacted me since thursday... so, I have no idea what's going on...

had a very bad day yesterday... bad enough to make me seriously think about using my return ticket back to Australia... I think that is the 3rd time I've thought about is seriously in the 10 months that I've been here. The other two times were in the first 4 months I was here.

I am hoping today will be better.

Not much has happened since my last entry... Just work, and going to 검도. I stayed home this weekend, just relaxed. Summer is too humid here to do anything. I cleaned up my apartment (which I still haven't finished yet... almost done).

This week, students go back to school, so no early wednesday's, just late wednesdays now. But its okay ^^

Today at 검도, 6 new people turned up. 5 guys and 1 girl. 2 guys are older than me (형), one guy is the same age as me (친구), and the other two guys are younger than me. The girl is also younger than me. They seem like nice people ^^ It will be good to have some more adults in the 검도장... I dont know about their English level yet, we didn't talk much today... But, they were surprised when 관장님 said how much 소주 I can drink... haha

Went to 광주 and VIPs with Akil on tuesday. It was really good. Then walked around eMart, and a few other shops in the area. I bought a new mouse for my computer - i didn't like the Microsoft mouse I was using.

Wednesday was one of my worst days in Korea... Summer, and 9 classes, is not a good combination. I'm glad that it was the last early start for a while.

Just cant wait for the summer to be over!

KOREA! YOUR WINTER IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN YOUR SUMMER! ^^

I got back from Seoul last night, at about 9:50pm. Left Seoul in the afternoon, and went to Emart for a bit of shopping. I found some (expensive) Salami and some Camambert cheese, and some dry biscuits to put it on... Something I haven't eaten for a long time.

I had a really good time in Seoul with my friend. We spent time in COEX mall (which was busy, but was good - I almost bought a notebook bag, and I wanted to buy some Noise reducing headphones, but didn't - maybe next time), and watched the korean movie 괴물. It was the first time I watched a Korean movie at the cinema (because they dont have English subtitles in the cinema). I have different interpretations of the film because, I was paying attention to other details of the film, rather than the dialogue, since I didn't understand most of it... It was a very easy film to follow for me - very predictable.

Went to 교보 bookstore in 광화문 as well... it was okay, a little busy. Found that Se7en has re-released his 3rd album, with a DVD of a 2006 Concert, Photobook and something else that is a bonus. I like Se7en, but not enough to buy it again :p

Had another long wednesday, 9 classes... But, its okay... Every other day is only 4 classes. I was too tired to go to 검도 today... Its been almost 9 months of doing 검도, and I'm still enjoying it ^^

I decided to go to Seoul this weekend. I was going to have the 14th (monday) as a holiday from work, and have an extra long weekend (since the 15th in a publich holiday here). 광복절, the day celebrated for when korea was liberated from Japan - is a public holiday (of course). I think I will just relax on that day... clean the apartment, or maybe to go 광주. See what happens.

Another summer's day here... hot, humid and sunny. But, there is a nice breese comping though if you have window's and doors opening. Just relaxing this weekend. I did plan to go to Busan to visit friends, but, needed some time to relax after my vacation, and also, don't have much money left.

Like I said, just relaxing at home today. I need to clean the apartment - but, I think I might do that tomorrow. I'm just feeling really tired, really drained... Can't even be bothered walking to the bank, so I can get money out and order pizza... haha.. But, i'll have to. Money is what makes this world go round, and if you don't have any, you don't get what you need...

My gf & I broke up last night... Well, decided to be friends. As a couple, we've hurt each other too much, so, we think, as friends, we can be more successful. I will always remember the special times we had together, and the things she did for me to make me feel happy... My only wish, is that she remembers the times when we were happy together, and that there will always be a special place in my heart for her, and what we had.

I just got back from my 5 day vacation! I'm so tired! It was good to see 현민 and his family in Seoul (헌민아.. thanks for driving me to the 버스 터미널 and for the bread... my girlfriend and I said its very delicious). It was good to see my gf again in 대구, but, it was too hot. Its kind of strange... my gf and I have many opposites.

Then, met Akil in 대전 and went to 대천 beach, near 보령 in 충남. It was really nice there, but was way too hot. Thinking about going back there for a weekend before Akil goes back to the US in mid-September.
