너를만나서, 행복해.

so today was another big day... the day i found out what kind of people i will be living with for a considerable amount of time during my exchange. mmm....

at 8.30am, i woke up, took a shower and BAM walked out the door to check-in at the residence hall... i found out my accom. is just next to where we checked in (there are 3 residence halls) so i thought -  WOOHOO!!! so close!... WRONG. i had to trek it back to my old housing and grab my stuff and what-not.

SOOOO we went back to grab our suitcases.. all 25kg+ of it. the 25kg that i had to haul up the hills on the way to my new housing and *$(#%)*$#()%

for your perspective's sake...


the blue circle and the arrow is the direction of my old housing (approx another 200m from the arrow) and the red circle is my new housing.. all the way at the end of the campus. GREAT.

anyway, so i managed to get there okay, legs were tired as and i felt like i did a month's worth of gym in one seating. KOOL.

NOT.

i walked into my dorm and BAM. it was messy as. the other two people that 'live' there have not cleaned probably for like a year and there was hair and black stuff on the ground. we chatted and it was kool; i have one Japanese guy and a Korean guy who lived in Japan.. the Japanese guy is a nice guy, willing to help whenever and wherever possible.. but cleaning isn't on the agenda for them it seems....

i also found out the guy that just left before i came was a Spanish guy who never washed his hair and was generally very dirty.... and i inherited his bed, desk and cupboard space.

- found an unfinished bottle of soju in the cupboard
- mattress was yellow on his side, white on the other side
- blankets smelt like .. dirty blankets
- bed sheets had yellow stains
- pillow case was yellow
- pillow was yellow

THREW THEM ALL AWAY.








and headed to E-mart to get new ones =]

i didn't think about this well at all - especially carrying all that stuff BACK to the housing... almost as bad as that 25kg suitcase trip with just as many stares from the public.

BUT IT'S OKAY. sacrifices were needed.

when i got back, i also did some cleaning (didn't take proper pictures because i am not finished.. need to do another trip to e-mart for more cleaning supplies). guys.. you really do begin to appreciate your parents and their maintenance of the house when you're living alone like i am... cleaning the dirty stuff that no one else will is a brave job.. (thanks Hemi for always cleaning the big bathroom and mom & dad for cleaning the rest of the house up).
