27.5.12

results tomorrow, feel surprisingly relaxed and unconcerned.. is this good or bad. gonna check it in office.

in the office i have been teaching myself korean so i can sing along to k-pop songs. i should be practicing my french for september but i do shit like this instead. in any case today i saw korean words and was able to read it out: 감사함니다 i felt like this was something crazy that has happened to me lately. hangul is much easier to learn than chinese, because chinese characters are derived from pictures if you don't already know. i'm sure you've seen the picture of a tree --> 木, they look alike. but hangul has such a logical, rational and easy way of ascribing strokes to sounds so it's really easy. sentence structure and grammar and vocab eludes me still but i feel like knowing that i can read and write korean is a life achievement........ even though i don't understand anything haha

there is a lady in office who speaks english, chinese, french, japanese and spanish. she worked in tokyo for awhile. feel so jealous, wish i could speak that many languages, why did i give up on chinese. at least i hope after exchange i can become fairly fluent in french, that would make me so happy, then i can come back to nus and take korean for real. i heard japanese is really hard.

i am really sad the weekend is over. time is flying by so fast i'm afraid it's leaving me behind.
