Day 31

February 11, 2014

Hi guys -
for those of you who follow me and read my blogs daily, you will have already realized that I did not blog yesterday. so this is a delayed post, yep i'm cheating. but just for today hehe.

Yesterday officially marked the first month since I got to London. I'm not sure whether it feels that way or not, but it has been quite an awesome month here. I've got to see cool places, meet wonderful people, try some interesting foods and indulge myself in endless amounts of European chocolate. Because I am only taking two classes for the first half of the semester, workload has been light, giving me more free time to just relax and chill. I can't say I've been using every moment to the fullest, although I have been trying... but social media gets in the way sometimes. Still, I've seen many places I wanted to visit (although the list is just endless here!).

I have two more days of classes and final exams are next Mon & Tues. The rest of this week/weekend will be spent either in my room or at the Starbucks down the street. But I've always weirdly enjoyed finals seasons. Yes, the studying sucks but all I have to focus on is memorizing everything. And it's a reminder that I'm near the end! (of classes, at least).

I have about 2 months left here - so bittersweet! It's funny because a lot of people back at home have been saying "I hear that you're homesick" or "I hope you're not homesick" or something along the lines of me being homesick. But the thing is, I've never been homesick, really. Yes, I miss my rents, friends and korean food. But that doesn't mean I'm homesick! In fact, I feel like I could even live here (although I probably won't).

Anyways, every time I leave the US to go to another country, I feel like my perspectives on life grow and mature (ok i can be immature sometimes but still). I am reminded of how huge this world is and how much more this world has to offer than i thought being in the comfortable and luxurious state of New Jersey, US.

I'm not sure how I'll change but I'm hopefully and happily anticipating some good changes in me. I hope I can learn more about myself, my preferences, my dreams, my hopes.
