Winter Break: End Of The Semester Goodbyes

(2/05/2013: For some damn reason I cannot get the date on my posts!)

Yes, yes, I know I should have been able to post a lot more since being on winter break. However, I've been unbelievably busy since the semester ended. So let me feel you in what I have been up to.

Last month has been so hectic with Finals Week ending and "Post-Finals Party Week", Christmas, and New Year’s Eve plans... Now that I have a little breathing room with 14 days before my departure I can finally get back to updating this blog on how I've been doing~!

"Saying Goodbye to Jong-Ho"

(Khanhly and Jong-Ho: I love this picture! She's not upset or mad when I snapped the picture she just happened to have her face that way lol)

So, with finals week finally ending for everyone it was time to relax and have fun. Sadly right after finals week Khanhly, Lydia, and I had to say goodbye to two of our Korean tutors, who we have become very good friends with, Jong-Ho and Ga-Hyun. The first to go was Jong-Ho, unlike the other tutors Jong-Ho was introduced to our Korean class later in the semester. Funny enough Jong-Ho was the only tutor who would ONLY speak Korean to us. The other tutors would speak Korean to us also but always ended up just speaking English lol.

Anyhow, with Jong-Ho leaving in 3 days Khanhly wanted all of us to go out to dinner. Unfortunately many of our friends were busy and weren't able to come out, so it was only the three of us. Around 6pm the 3 of us met up at the Edge, then went to China Town in Center City. After walking a few cold blocks we finally got to Terakawa Ramen, which is a basically a noodle shop. (I will be posting a review on this place later!)

Finishing our food we paid and headed back to the Edge where we meet up with the other Korean international and exchange students and basically had a party lol.

"Saying Goodbye to Ga-Hyun"

Towards the end of the semester Ga-Hyun and I have become best friends, so it was especially hard for me to say goodbye to Ga-Hyun. Although I know I'll be meeting up with her the day I land in Busan, I was still sad to see her go.

Unlike Jon-Ho, Ga-Hyun, was staying in the US for much longer. However, she had to move out of the Edge dorm bye Sunday. Of course we hung out here and there when neither of us were busy, and randomly one day Ga-Hyun, Fred (who was apart of Globalinks: Korea Spring 2012), and I randomly went to Dave and Busters lol.

Of course we had a blast, we sat at the bar and drank as few drinks, and ran around the place playing game after game. *sigh* I'm going to miss hanging out with the both of them together.

Although I will be seeing both Ga-Hyun and Jong-Ho in Korea, it was still very sad to see both of them go. Both have gotten back to Seoul safely and are doing well. I'm sure you'll be seeing them and many others on this blog as time goes by.

Oh and bonus picture of another tutor, my homie Ji... He's going to kill me once he sees his picture on here lmfao!
