D-5 Until Take-Off
I can't believe there's only five days until I leave to fly out to Korea. Honestly, I haven't thought about it too much, about how I will be studying abroad soon, and how I will be living in another country for a little over a month...and how that is going to start in five days. I mean, I've never been in another country longer than two weeks! So...this is going to be one crazy experience ðą(even though a month might not be a big deal for anyone else).
To sum my whole month up, I will be attending Ewha Womans University for four weeks in total, taking two classes: a Korean language class, and a Korean Culture and Traditional Folklore Class. Both classes count as transferable credit to my minor in Korean at Rutgers University. ðŪ As for the Korean language class, all students who wish to take the language have to take a placement test online (prior to arrival at the university). I took mines a little less than a week ago, and my next scheduled placement test is the day after check-in for a one-on-one oral test. I'm not sure if I'm ready for that though, since my reading, writing, and comprehension is so much better than my oral skills, hahaha. ð
I haven't started packing yet, but I will probably do most of that on Friday when I am back home from my internship in New York. I don't even know where to start in terms of packing long-term and figuring out what I need to bring and what I can give up. I think I may have to start making a list of things I need to pack before the time comes -- I'm a little nervous, but there's still a "week" left, so it hasn't hit yet.
Anyway, time to get back to work. I'll be posting again soon! ð
