Second day of class....

Well.... that whole "why not move up a level" thing didn't last long. I spent most of the afternoon/evening yesterday trying to weigh things up and went back to my original class this morning. I'm much happier to be there really. Even if it was another day where my brain could basically switch off, at least in a few weeks' time things will be much more of a review for me and it won't be too long before we get to something I've learned before and forgotten completely or something new. Plus, I won't be spending all my time outside class frantically trying to work out what the hell is going on and/or be super stressed out by the time mid-term and final exams come around....

Quite looking forward to my time here again instead of worrying, now that I've made my mind up! ^-^

Finally moved into halls and first day of class

[Note; I realise this is a very text-heavy post. I'm basically just rambling and apologies for that.]

Yesterday was my last day with Dani (sad times :( ), so after seeing her leave at Incheon airport, I came back for a short orientation talk and to halls for the first nights' stay. Finally unpacked and did my laundry from the last two weeks holiday!

My room is... a standard halls room. I have a slightly bigger bathroom than I expected, with somewhere to actually stand for the shower to the side instead of being in the middle like my old Korean apartment or others I've seen here, so that's nice. However, I could definitely do with more wardrobe space, especially to hang things as it's really narrow and there's room for it to be about a foot wider. Also, it has pretty tiny drawers and shelf space I'll never use right at the top... so in that sense, I miss my one from my Derby halls where it actually had a decent amount of hanging space, shelves and big, wide drawers!

A walk through "space 8"!

Hello from Korea! I visited GD's space 8 exhibition today and wanted to give an idea of what it was like. Unfortunately, I was so distracted, I forgot that I was going to take notes... so I'm going to apologise now for not remembering exactly everything we saw today and not being as precise as I wanted to be.

Reppin' UKBB!
It was pretty quiet whilst we were there, but today was GD, Seungri and Taeyang's stage at Inkigayo, so that must have had an effect! We walked straight in and it was fine walking around as you were able to take your time if you wanted to. It was recommended that if there were crowds, to not take more than an hour inside, but I lost track of how long we took. The gallery itself was relatively small, but the exhibition was nicely spaced. I used my ticket from the One Of A Kind Final concert for entry, and they stuck a sticker with an 8 to the back of it.


First up, the ground floor had Coup d'Etat pictures - some were large, around the size of a metre or so, others around poster size or a little smaller. There were three copies of the smudged painted portraits which are from the album; there was an extra white one to go with black and red versions.
