Feelin' Bloggish

After two weeks of midterms, I finally get to relax for spring break in South Korea!

I was so pressed for time these last two weeks!
1st week:
Tuesday: Negotiation midterm
Wednesday: Psychology midterm, SP JPN test

2nd week:
Tuesday: SP JPN oral exam, Globalization "panel of experts" (talked about tuna for ~8 minutes)
Wednesday: Psychology 2-page report due
Thursday: SP JPN midterm, Globalization 8-page midterm due
Friday: WR JPN midterm and oral exam

For the first week of midterms, I had a lot of reading to catch up on. Before that, I didn't even open the textbook for two of my classes

For the second week, it was all Japanese class midterms. For the speaking class, it was grammar and listening, plus an oral exam where I had to make plans for spring break at a travel agency for 8 minutes.

Then for the writing class, I had to cram for kanji, and the oral exam was reading a short passage from one of the chapters from the Genki 2 textbook (my professor is one of the authors for Genki 2).

I also had a 8-page take-home midterm for globalization due Thursday that I finished right before class

As for vacation plans, me and my friend Alice were thinking about Kyushu, but it turned out that going to Korea might be a better deal. But we stalled on Kyushu for so long that we couldn't get the tour we wanted, since this time of year is when Japanese students graduate and go on their trips.

We ended up buying a plane ticket for Korea for around $300, and we're gonna rough it in hostels. But there's still last minute stuff to take care of, like the re-entry permit, tomorrow at the airport. I'm a bit worried, but hopefully all goes well!
