i keep telling you all to read my blog about why i'm not going back right?
but as teeni has pointed out, i noticed i forgot to state why =X
cause i think i subconsciously thought i did :P
okay
so the reason why i won't be going back end of this is ...
i'll bring you all back to where it all started
*stares into a distance*
for those who am of the idea i changed universities (i'm not naming anyone XP)
well technically speaking i did and did not.
so this is how it is:
for the first one and a half years, i have been attending language school at Seoul National University (SNU), so i was only focused on picking up the language.
then around february this year, i graduated language school and moved on to my undergrad studies at Yonsei University.
so now, my major is mechanical engineering and i'm a freshman currently clawing her way through sem 2.
ah...now that we've cleared things up, here's the whole point of the blog.
in Yonsei, foreign students need to master the Korean language up to level 6 (this is according to the Yonsei standard) in order to take all the credits (19 creds) like a normal student.
anything below level 6, the student will then be subjected to the torture of only being able to take 12 or less credit hours per semester.
i did finish level 6 at SNU but unfortunately it wasn't good enough.
see, at first, my cousellar told me that this limitation only applies to freshman students but cum sem 2, she tells me a different story and that this limitation applies until we either graduate or get a Yonsei language school's level 6 (booooo O.o)
i've already taken the exam 3 times, got level 5s at during the 1st 2 and level 4 on the last attempt (i know.... O.o)
considering the fact that my major really doesn't dwell much on language, i have decided to attend the korean class this winter semester (this is where you sob - *sobs*) and get that level 6. The main reason why it is so important to me is because if i continue with this limitation to my credits, i'll never ever be able to graduate and JPA will revoke my scholarship and i'll be stranded in this foreign land where its people eat kimchi and fix their noses every now and then.
see, i don't want that. its not that i don't like korea, its just i would want to go home, someday.
so, the winter classes will be starting in Jan stretching to March. don't really want to go through all that jetlag for a 2 week stay again....i love you all, but i'm not that rich and the jet lag'll kill me O.o
why don't you all come over for winter? (:
we can go skiing :D
heeee!~~~
anyway, this is why i can't make it home end of this year. trust me, i was crushed when i found out too. but it is a sacrifice that needs to be made. for the better (i hope)
there might be loopholes here and there in my story cause i'm free writing. so most probably a thought or two might have slipped off and i'm to lazy to re-read what i just wrote. heeee
love you all!~~
muah!~~
come korea look for me!~~~
and buy me milo and tuna and laksa!~~~
-end-
i've got a whole closet of odd socks because the keep getting lost in the washer!!!!
