Hello from Korea!!! It’s been a week since I have landed in Seoul, South Korea, and my time here has been very rewarding. It feels as if this week has lasted forever because I have done so much since being here. The class I am taking has plenty of free time built into the schedule because class only lasts for 4 hours. So because of this, I have gotten to see a lot of the city. Thankfully, I met some really cool people on the first day because we all got on the wrong shuttle headed to class. Ever since then, we’ve all been hanging out and studying together.
We have spent most of our time exploring 신촌 and 홍대. Highlights from this past week include exploring Ewha’s and Yonsei’s campus, visiting SM Town in 강남, and of course the food.
Classes have been going well so far. I’ve been placed in level 1.5. The pace is starting off a bit slow, but I think it is because it was the first week. Hopefully next week we can really dive into our materials.
All in all, it’s been a crazy fun week. I’ve gotten to know my classmates, I’ve made some friends from across the world, and my Korean class went well for the first week. I’m very excited for the next couple of weeks in Korea!
