School begins

Hey, so today I started school.  Finally some structure.  I even went to the gym and did a hardcore workout.  Going to be so sore in the morning.  I've got to stay strong and stay away from Facebook.  Sometimes I want to be on there but I really don't.  I want to prove that we don't need it.  The only person I had interaction with today was a girl in my pre Calculus class who seemed cool because she mentioned she was a big Battlestar Gallactica fan and thus a possibility she was a nerd like me.  I found out that because my schedule is 3 classes across four hours (the math class has a lab hour) with ten minute breaks between, I don't have a time for lunch.  So I will not be able to eat lunch with Shiei and Jonathon.  That was a daily occurrence last quarter.  Kind of going to miss that.  Hopefully, I can make new friends.  I want to get a better digital SLR camera so I can take pictures and post them on here.

I made a tumblr.

The URL is http://paransaek.tumblr.com

I made it predominantly because I like this pop singer Bang Minah from the singing group, Girl's Day.  I wanted to post pictures of her.  

Now that I am ending all use of Facebook I should try to branch out on here and find people who update their blogs regularly.

Doing some research on South Korea

Found out that it could possibly be very cheap, or rather quite cheaper than here, to live in Seoul.   I am very excited at the prospects.  I will probably be moving to Seoul next year and around this time already be there studying Korean.  I am extremely motivated to follow this plan through to fruition.

I wonder...

How long it will take for anyone to notice that I deactivated my facebook account.  Likely, no one will notice.   Everyone is so busy with themselves.  There is too much going on there for people who silently walk away from the fold to be noticed missing.  Now that I have done so, I will be using this place as my medium to communicate through the internet.  Although, hardly anyone knows this place exist, I have faith that eventually someone will catch on.  It is sort of depressing to think that I am writing this and no one is reading it.  I guess it is more for me than for them.   I never intended for anyone to read my journals when I was at Amicus House even though we read them daily.  I kind of miss that forced accountability.   Anyways, I guess that's it.

As always, it's been awhile.

So a lot of doing and thinking has been put into my life recently.  The girlfriend and I split, I've decided to move to South Korea next year to study Korean at one of the language schools there.  I've been studying the language independently everyday for the past couple of weeks and I am improving.  A lot of thought needs to go into this plan.  I've spoken with some people who live in Seoul and they say food expenses are very cheap compared to U.S.  I am glad of that.  I am really excited to make the transition.  Other than that, I am still a nerd and watching anime and K-drama.  I have found some new K-pop music, my original reason for starting this blog to share with others my passion for Korean music.  I found a website, http://www.kpop7.com that has all your needs wrapped into one.  However, http://www.myasiancinema.com is also a great resource for Asian television downloads and its all free!
School starts next week and I will probably forget to update this blog for months.  I know no one really reads this but I like to keep a log, just in case I die.
This quarter at school, I am taking Pre-Calculus, Accounting, and Macroeconomics, oh man.  This is going to be very intense.
