Thought I'd share some pictures from yesterday and today of the beautiful Yonsei campus. Hope you like them! And of course, I can give a midterm update haha. I'm surviving and almost done :) I did well on Korean reading comprehension, pronunciation and listening tests, but haven't got the results from the speaking and writing portions yet. I finished my history take-home exam due tomorrow and this afternoon, I took my midterm for giftedness and creativity which was a little more challenging than expected. The test format was 33 fill-in-the-blank questions with 2 to 7 items each. No partial credit given :( Tonight I will be up writing my cinema essay comparing the remembrance of the past in the films A Single Spark and Sopyonje. They are examples of Korean New Wave films that emerged in the 1990s. They were difficult movies to watch because they deal with antagonistic themes of traditional/modern, trauma/post-trauma, poverty and the harsh treatment of workers in sweatshops, however, I'm glad I watched them. The Pansori singing style depicted as the central medium in Sopyonje was very moving. Hope everyone in the States is having a good start to the week. I also decided which classes I will be taking this winter at Santa Clara: International Economics, Health Psychology, Writing in Psychology, Singing Lessons and Calculus. And perhaps the most exciting news of all is that I will be traveling to Thailand from November 17-20 to visit my Dad :))) Ta-ta for now! Check back for Japan update in early November!
