Number of days till the midterm: still 2

So today I have had lots of time to study and get my head round some of the more difficult things. It's not overly incredibly hard, the system is just much different than that of english, it's hard to get the instinctive grasp of what I'm doing. 

I also found out today that my grade will be sent via a numerical grade. I am willing to take the GPA hit though. I'm not worried about it, because I'm fully aware of how I'm already here and I can only do so much. Learning a language isn't as simple as rote studying I think. I will persevere no matter what. 

Class was better today. I learned more I think today, but the grammar is difficult, as is the vocabulary. I don't know why those words aren't sticking better. 

I didn't have class today, since the drop thing with the philosophy class has gone through, at least as far as I know. So in that time I studied and also took the time to have some fun as well. Me and Kayla had a couple of Korean friends over, and enjoyed some great andong jjimdak. Jjimdak is a delicious dish consisting of chicken, glass noodles, and lots of veggies. It's incredibly delicious. 
      Also, I learned that there is a right and wrong way to use chopsticks as well. Apparently, as told to me by Hee-sung, my Korean friend, it's impolite to use chopsticks the right way. I don't really know how to explain the right way to use chopsticks, but I will try and do some research on the subject.  

Afterwards we had S.A.P.P. and we held a one hour class, seeing as how we have midterm on Friday. It went really well, with questions being answered well, I think. 

The rest of the night has been devoted to curling and studying, but not in that order. 

With much more studying to do, and maybe a video to post, I sign off. 

For Now
