Passport

Hey!! I finally applied to get a passport to go to Korea. I'm so excited to be going, there is so much stuff I'm going to do. I'm learning more Korean before I go so the class won't be so hard for me, and so I'll have more time to do other stuff besides study!! Anyway, I can't wait until August!! I think this is going to be the most active summer I've had in a while. I can't even believe I'm going abroad, it still just hasn't hit me yet!!

Spring Break

So, it's spring break at my school and this is the sucky part about saving your money, you can't my do anything with your friends!! I wanted to do so many things with my friends during spring break but I have to save my money for the Korea trip I'm taking this summer. It really sucks because I could have went to Boston with my friends or somewhere else over break!! But I just have to remember the long term benefits I guess. Anyway, it's not all bad, my roommate is staying on campus with me too so it's not so bad!! At least I'm not completely alone for a week. I like to tell myself that this is practice for when I go abroad and can't go home or see my family. SO yeah, this is what's happening right now. Sometime this week I have to go to the postal office and get a passport and then go to the bank so I can send the money for the application fee to the school in Korea I want to go to...but hopefully I'll get that done before the week is up.

My Computer

Well everyone, I know I haven't told the whole story or even any of the story of how my laptop broke, but this morning I got a call from OIT (my school's repair computer service) and they said that after buying a new display screen and switch board which I have to pay for, the computer is still not working, in fact, the computer isn't even turning on!!!!! O_O!!!! So the OIT people call me about my laptop and I go to them and ask what was the problem. They then tell me all of what I told you just now and then the guy goes on to say that HP has a recall for the same problems I'm having. Now, if I would have known this shit, or if HP would have told me this shit when I called them, my computer would already have been fixed by now but NOOOO, when I call these assholes, all they tell me is that I need to pay $50 to talk to a technician because my warranty is up and that's all they could do. So now, the OIT guy at my school is telling me that I now have to send my computer in to HP but it shouldn't cost me anything because HP has a recall on the defects I'm having. Right now, I don't even know what to do, but I do know I can't do anything else except wait.

Update

Hey everyone!!! Just to let you know, I moved out of my old roommates' dorm and now live with the coolest person EVER!!! She's Korean and so nice!!! I knew her even before I moved in with her so she was nice enough to take me in!! Now, I'm finally enjoying my semester, which might be my last semester at this school!! I applied to two other schools because I think they have a better language program than the school I go to now. I really want to get into Georgetown because I think the school is perfect for me, but I don't know if I can get in or not. Hopefully, the admissions committee will see that I'm a dedicated person and willing to work really hard for anything, that they'll accept me but, who knows. I told my dad and he just said to stop worrying about things that I couldn't control...but that's easier said than done. I don't want to worry I just do, because I really want to get into this school. So, now I'm just waiting for the results to come in. I do have a backup school, which is Maryland and they have a pretty good language program but the school is so big that I'm kind of rethinking about going there because I like the small size school I'm going to now.....but Maryland has a study abroad program with Keio, and I REALLY want to go to that school!!! I don't know though, it's so hard to make decisions and figure out what will benefit you in the long run. Anyway, on the positive side, I applied to the three week Korean program and sent in my transcript. All I need to do is send my passport and application fee which I need to get/do this weekend. But, if all goes well, I'm going to Korean this summer for three weeks to learn Korean!!! It'll be my first time abroad and I'm sooo excited!!! I can't wait to hang out with all my friends in Korea. Before I go, I'm also thinking about cutting my hair and having it natural......that pretty means I'm going to have an Afro.....I don't know how people will take it. I mean, I've permed my hair for most of my life to fit in with all the other kids, primarily white kids around me, so I don't know how this change is going to effect people's image of me, but I do think this is a good decision because it'll be easier to manage my hair when I'm abroad. Well that's all I have for right now, thanks to all the people who read this blog...even though I don't really talk about anything really important!!
