drawing a blank

It seems to me that everyday in this funny weird, strange and perhaps wonderful place is drawing a blank. What I mean is Days go so fast and I am always so busy getting things done, but everytime I sit here to tell all of my girls in sydney what I have been doing I draw a blank. I have nothing much to say or there wasn't much exciting occurances. Hmm....why is that?

Today is exactly the same case. unfortunately. But all I can tell you guys is that I think I'm getting a cold I've been getting the runny nose and all. I think so far there were more days when I was sick in Korea than days when I wasn't. I think my vocabulary is slowly decipating also. I srprisingly found myself using stupid words like....."stupider" and "shat"(apparent past-tense form of shit). I need help..

Although gracie's life here has been pushing me to run around like a mad chook I do think of you guys everyday. When my plane landed in korea I knew I was half way there back to you guys and my home.

This is to all those who aorry about me and love me in Sydney..

" I learn from you, I respect you, and I love you."

Korea has four seasons

what a friggin bullcrap...
It's supposed to be autumn here in korea but the heat continues to create havoc on my physical system. I walk around for 10 minutes and im drenched in sweat. As far as I know this country doesn't have autumn nor does it have a butt freezing winter. As far as I know this place is still humid, hot and sticky and I don't like it at all. some say Oh the weather is now so much better then before...I was like.....O_o

I miss Sydney weather the best weather in the world by far~~~

help me people!

my very first class at yonsei...

hey I had my very first class at Yonsei...

Hmm..It was design studio and the professor and the tutorial group is all so far so good. The class was apparently overloaded so other like....8 people other then the 6 'registered' students ( including me) will find out their fate of getting their ass jibbed out of the class or survive the first cut off.....9:30am SATURDAY!!! yes grace has classes on SATURDAY mornings!! I know many of you guys will see this and think.....of a mjor WTF but hey that's how thins work here and I got to follow it I guess....R.E.G.A.R.D.L.E.S.S.

already 11 days have passed in korea..

hi guys how are you going? especially encouraged by the recent rave about my journal, I am here writing another entry. So far korea is really really busy. Everyone everywhere is trying to get somewhere.....some how(?). The air isn't so wonderful, but hey there's other perks that tags along gracie who lives in Shinchon(the suburb that I live in). I think I have sort of settled in now. I don't cough as much. Don't feel sick anymore.

Mytrip to my grandparents weren't that bad after all. I have been loved although due to my great grandfather's death anniversary I have to spend most of the time in the kitchen washing up dishes and helping my nanna dish up some mean / nasty/so delicious that Hades would come back up to the surface of the earth .......dishes. It was all good. Met some members of my family who I didn't know existed ( er...sorry) and those who I haven't seen for 11 years.

I have never seen so many neon lights concentrated in one place......errr.....hail Shinchon?

now i'm in korea

sic itur ad astra = This is the Way to the Stars

St Christopher = patron of travel ( well actually of "ahem"...plague and sudden death..)

thank you so much for the necklace guys I was really sick for three days straight after arriving...you know...even swallowing water made me throw up...yet it was pretty bad. anyway I'm getting over it now, starting to sedttle in. I didn't quite realise that the necklace bore such a deep and thought-provoking meaning. I take it as an encouragement for my future endeavours not only in korea but in my life to come. this is a whoole hearted thank you for all of you.

I live with a girl named Katioe Balcom. She's from states and she quote " ...speaks no korean" but I get along just fine and is obsessed with a korean movie star named "kwon sang woo" to the death and every day wonders who he will marry. She's a gymnast as well, so her flexibility is a novelty. and quote " ..just as silly as grace....".yea...yea.. you see trouble coming. and she's korean too...and sometimes speaks bursts of korean that is almost native.

and I have to go and see my grandma soon on Tuesday." I'm so scared because she's so scary. "

HOly shit...D-2

hmm..have a good phone conversation with Louise the other day. Found out she was sick also....god damn it LINDA!!! her opinion on my blog was that I should make entries which were slightly longer then a single sentence. So here it is slightly longer today.

I feel better day by day and I'm really hoping I'll get better before I leave.

I still haven't finished packing yet, and dad tried to lift one of my bags this morning without the realisation that it wasn't zipped up.....and yes the contents spill d out like a newly gutted fish.....great. More packing for you grace. hmm..and the contents remains miserably on my bedroom floor waiting for its owner to pack the liver, stomach and and pancreas back in.
