Okay, soOo. I am done with the LSAT until I find out my score on November 1st, which will determine whether or not I will go for a re-take in December. WOO. Almost done with applications and so totally ready to re-immerse myself in being in Korea. I took the exam at Yonsei University, which has a beautiful, almost Harry Potter-esque Western-style campus. There were A TON of people there taking the exam with me (around 100, I’d guestimate), some of whom came from as far away as China. The instructions were announced in English (obviously) over a loud speaker that sounded in the testing rooms. The whole experience was somewhat grueling, as I had to leave my apartment at 5:30 a.m. because I was nervous about being late or getting lost. I ended up getting there at around 7:30 with an hour to kill, so I just sat at a Burger King with a bunch of people who were just ending a night out at the clubs. Pretty different situation from what I was in. Haha. Once I arrived on campus, I hung out on the steps with my fellow test takers, many of whom were Korean or Korean American. I chatted with some of the foreigners and even found some guy who has worked for Chungdahm for three years and there was even someone from the military. Talking to my fellow applicants put me more at ease as a lot of people were planning on retaking and yada yada. I think we got a fairly easy version and I am fearful that the scale may be really high. I pretty much finished all of my logic games, which was my area of greatest concern. I had to guess on about 5 questions overall because I reached a couple points where I froze up with nervousness (thoughts like, “this is it… this is the real thing.) haha. Okay ENOUGH about that.
*Side note* I cannot comment on people’s blogs, neither at home nor at Chungdahm. I don’t know if it’s because I need to update my browser’s version of flash, or what (most likely the case), but yeah. I’ve tried to comment on multiple people’s blogs unsuccessfully over the past couple of months.
Also, I haven't been a very good blogger, so my apologies. I will get better once I get more free time (which WILL happen soon!) and a new camera. At the moment, I am in class and kind of bored because my students are reading. There is a cat crooning outside of our window and it's pretty hilarious. I just had to shut the window.
Oh, and in case you were all wondering, all cats speak the same language regardless of their global location.
And I almost forgot to discuss...
My birthday!
My birthday was awesome. I went to the Rainbow Hookah Lounge in Gagnam (pictures courtesy of Gina)
