My day never ends. Even in sleep, there is something going on and something to do. There is no concept of boredom here. I woke up this morning @6am to travel around 20 miles to the Seoul immigration office to make papers for my foreigner status. That was one hellofa journey through Seoul and the Subway station. After the journey, me and some friends ventured to get some food and eat, then I finally went to the gym in Korea and worked out.
I definetely stood out, not only because of my appearance, but because Koreans here are not used to lifting as much in America. In the states I lift a good amount, but here I must have appeared as body builder or something.
I have gotten tremendously lost on campus many times, and it is taking me a while to get adjusted to being here. More than once I have gotten rides from kind people to my dormitory, Yonsei is more than a university, it is a small city within a city.
I am tired now and it is around 7:45pm Korea time. I will take a shower, and some friends might be going out tonight and I am considering if I should go. Nevertheless, my heart aches a bit when I think about the loved ones back home and I wish they were here to enjoy these experiences with me. I look forward to that time though..
