Day 12 - Dedicated to my sink in Denmark + MANY random things! (June 29, 2010 - July 10, 2010)

Annyeong!~

We have oh SO much homework from the academy (Korean Metro acadamy - MKA - our language school in Korea). So now a week has passed in MKA (we started on July 05, 2010). It is a lot of fun but but getting more and more difficult! So this is how our academy schedule looks like:

- Morning classes (where we learn to read, write, grammer etc etc): 10am - 11:50am. The teacher ONLY speaks korean in this class. NO english!

- Afternoon classes (which are called survival classes. We learn phrases, greetings, how to talk in shops etc etc): 1:30pm - 3:20 pm The teacher in this one speaks korean and english to us.

So therefore we have two main seonsaengnims! The morning seonsaengnim is called Choi Seonsaengnim. She is really really nice and yeppo! And and when she is teaching us, she uses the bands we like (especially Dong Bang Shin Ki) a lot! She really knows how to grab out attention! Very clever. She looks SO young. She told us she is 31 years old but but she looks like she is 25 or something.

The afternoon seonsaengnim is called Kwon Seonsaengnim. I reeeeeeeally like her a lot too! She is so so so so so nice. I am so happy we have such wonderful teachers! She is really good in teaching as well and her friendly face makes me feel really at ease in her classes. She also looks pretty young! Haha, she mentions bands quite a bit as well xD Once our seonsaengnims learnt that we like kpop music, they use it a lot to teach us. Kwon Seonsaengnim gives us presents in class sometimes xD And and she gave us chocolate in our first class!

We have morning classes everyday (Monday - Friday) but we have afternoon classes on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. On Tuesdays we get off early, after morning classes. And and on Thursday, after morning classes, they take us out! Like site seeing in Korea. For site seeing we have another Seonsaegnim! I can't remember her name yet xD Only had her once. But, ah i say this a lot, she is SO SO nice as well! And she is SO cute! She is really friendly and easy to talk to. She doesn't speak much english so most of the time she was speaking in korean. With a little bit of charades, few english words and few easy Korean words, we are able to communicate! The thursday that just passed we went to Insadong! There we went to this workshop type of place and could make things. I made something for my sister ^^ My chingu also made something for her sister. My chingu talks about her sister a lot! I like that. She really loves her. I like it cause when she is talking about her sister, it reminds me of my sister ^^ Some things about my chingu reminds me of my sister, which makes me easier to be far away from her since she lives in the states. But i hope my sister likes what i made for her! ^^ I can't wait to see her when I get back to Denmark!

kay so other than missing friends, family etc etc you know what I really miss? My sink in Denmark. Really, I think I dreamt about having a sink one night.

NOTE TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE SINKS: Don't take it for granted. Cherish it. Tell it you love it. Give it a name. Be nice to it. Keep it clean. Treat it well. You never know when you won't have one. "All I want for christmas is a couple of sinks, a couple of sinks, oh just a couple of sinks!"

Got a disappointing message from my friend, Joey, on facebook which got me down for the whole day. (THANKS JOEY!)She lives in Jylland but might have been moving to Copenhagen and joining my school. But then she told me that that is not happening. I felt irritated the whole day by that. Really annoyed. I want her to come live in Copenhagen (Only so I can annoy the crap out of her of course). "All I want for christmas is Joey in my school, Joey in my school, oh a Joey in my school!"

Actually I think I want the sink more. (Saranghaeyo Joey!)

Oh we get SO much homework! On the days we have morning and afternoon classes we get off around 3:20 pm, get home around 4:30 pm and then rest a bit and then start homework. It is becoming impossible to go around Seoul cause our homework is getting more and more. So now we have only weekends and Friday to see Seoul.

Will talk about a few places we have been too, the wonderful nice, young looking receptionist at MKA, our two new Korean friends that we made who we went out with yesterday, the family we are staying with, and some other things in the next blog. This one is already too too long!

NOTE TO MIAH: I am still trying to find the perfect leaf for you. Do you want an oldish looking bruised one with holes and such which looks like a part of Korea. A fresh looking, classy, pretty one or or what? ^^

Kay I gotta go do homework. Plus I need to get around studying for normal life in Denmark as well. Aish.

oh oh no wait. The host mother just called us to eat lunch - dukbokki! So eat and then study.

Miss you mom, dad, didi, Miah, Joey, Aggie and and more people!

MISS YOU SINK!
