So unlike back at GWU where it seems like at least one BME/ECE classes has to be on friday, for the first time in college i do not have FRIDAY CLASSES= 4 Day Weekend.
I decided to be productive on friday and woke up and met with some other friends/exchange students at 7:15am. Yeah, go figure, the one day i don't have classes is also when i have to get somewhere by 7 am lol. I don't regret it because we thought leaving by 7:15am would ensure that we wouldn't have to wait on a long line. When we got there though there was like 100 people ahead of us lol and the place wasn't even open yet so we made our way to the back of the line. While on the line, one of the exchange students, Julie, who is half korean taught me and another exchange student, Adriana, hangul!
Thank You Julie!!! Now i just have to study and keep getting better! Next week we start our beginners korean class so i'm excited!
Everything worked out well for all of us and we submitted out application and left around 11pm or so and we'll be back to pick the card up on the 22nd.
Pictures at the Alien Registeration place:
I was number 2111
People waiting for their number to be called
more people lol
After we decided to go to Gangdam because it was close by, i haven't been there in the daytime lol and one of my friends Holly needed to go to an English Bookstore there.
oppa Gangdam Style
Gangdam!
So Gangdam is a district in Seoul and its know to be the more posh/expensive area and for high-end shopping!
We also were pretty hungry so we got some food:
Adriana, Marieke, Holly
Fried Dumplings, "Spicy" vegetables!
:)
When i got home i got ready for our Banquet/Research symposium with KU &GWU!
Dean Dolling, the GWU Engineering school Dean, Dean of KU Engineering professors from KU and GWU, us and KU students who have and were going to study abroad at GWU and were engineers were all there! It was really a great experience. We got to meet Simon Lee, the CEO of Samsung and the person who had the vision for the GWU & KU exchange program and also gave us money to come to Korea! We all got to go up and thank him and talk about our time at KU and in Korea so far! The food was soooooo Good and Fancy! I cant even remeber how many courses we had and for dessert we had Tiramisu!!!!!!!! :)
GWU Clan
Min Jung, she was at GWU 2 semesters ago. She is so sweet and we will be hanging out soon. Kyu won was at GWU last semester and we became friends and it was really good to see her again and hopefully hang out soon :)

Afterwards we all went out to a restaurant where we had this chicken and potato soup, it was soooo good! probably my favourite individual dish!!!! cant remember the name, i'll have to ask her dong or Richard! They also taught us traditional korean games while eating and songs it was really fun! Definitely hope we can all get together as a group again.
Us leaving the restaurant:
It was still pretty early so after that i went with Kenneth and jacob and hung out with their KUBA group and met more people and hung out, it was fun! We ended up at Daddy J's which was good because then i was closer home and i called it a night :)
Great day!!!!!!! :)
