Climbing Ulsan

Kategori:Allmänt

My last climbing trip in Korea was very nice. Ulsan has so many mountains and the view is pretty awesome. It all started 7:30 on Thursday with me forgetting my sleeping bag. 5 h later I'm leading a very scary route! The wall was deep in the forest and the hot weather, the green trees and small roads made me feel like home (prarostino) :-) 8 exhausted climbers were invited by the club's president parents for dinner, sleep and breakfast. Amazingly kind people. The second day we climbed multi pitch on a ridge called arirang. Nice view and nice climbing that finished with delicious sesame soup noodles in a restaurant and camping at the river. Saying goodbye was very fast but ok! Because I had so many good experiences and memories thanks to this club. HTN

Last week in Korea

Kategori:Allmänt

My last week in Korea is quite hectic. So many things to do so little time. But yes I try to enjoy my time and relax as much as possible. I went climbing, on an improvised road trip, BBQ on a roof, and bought new glasses. Rest of the week, pretty much the same. Tomorrow exhibition Wednesday post my boxes to Sweden and Italy, Thursday Friday climbing Saturday goodbye dinner Sunday packing and Monday home. Wow. Not much time.

Last

Maybe I'm more Swedish that I want to admit, but this korean way of saying one thing and then doing the opposite, I can't get used to it. It happened so many times that the professor says something like prepare ppt and panel for tomorrow morning. So I start preparing and work all night to be ready at 9 am. When I arrive, I'm the 4th person in the classroom, the other 3 students were there all night. 1/3rd of the class arrives by 9:30 with the prof. and the rest doesn't show up. It's the final day, why is people not showing up?! No they are still working, I guess they will arrive 30 min before class ends. So Now I'm sitting here in the classroom for 3 hours doing nothing, because I'm finished. Awesome, I could be in my bed and sleep and show up 3 h later. Fuckers!

But Now I just got feedback from the Prof. and he likes my project :-) "Very interesting, good innovation about how to sharing emotions, very conceptual."

Thank you very much prof. Kim Sun, you taught me how to see the world with different eyes.

Nu börjar mitt sommarlov !!! Första stopp --> sjukhuset :-( ska kolla upp mitt tinnitus.

Ambiguous day

Kategori:Allmänt

A day that started quite bad now became rather pleasant. Yesterday evening right before going to bed (in time because of todays exam) I couldn't fall asleep, my ear got strange and I was awake for more than 2 hours in bed. I woke up later than planned and my ear still made strange low frequency noises that worried me and didn't let me study. I wrote the exam and skipped my second class to go to work. I got a teaching job for 5 hours. Took the bus and found the place but I was 20 min early so I watched 2 kids play Yu-gi-oh on the street (this made my day :-) when 10 min were left I called the lady from the job and realized there were 2 places with the same name!! aaa, panic! It's an english academy but it was hard to communicate with the lady at the phone. Finally she passed me another guy that picked me up. 15 min late i started my job. 10 groups of ca5 kids changed every 1/2 hour. They had books and they had to read the books and I just listened and checked their pronunciation. The first group were 8-9 year old boys that couldn't stay still and it was all about reading as fast as possible. the last group was mixed 13-14 years old. After 2 hours I was very tired and the last 2 hours I lost myself in a childish version Romeo and Juliet accompanied by manga-style illustrations. I 5 hours I could pretty much get the to see the transformation of the typical korean kid (I guess): quite normal in the beginning and very wild. Big difference between girls and boys. So happy when I saw a group just with girls!! But later they get cellphones and become very quiet. At the end, school homework and academy turns them into zombies. The English gets worse with time, or maybe is the being-afraid-of-making-mistakes-fenomen" that starts so I had to ask them 7 times before they answered to the question. Anyway the last group (oldest) was the most interesting group. Now I got home, with money in my pocket and I just get to know that I don't have to take my last exam on Friday because my essay was among the 10 best ^^ So A+ and no exam. whoooooo o ooo o o ooo ao oa oa oa oao ao ao oa oa oa oa oa o aoa o aoao oa oao aoa oa oa oa oa oa oa oa o aoa oa oa ao oa aaoaoaoa a aoaoaoa a a aoaoa a a oaoa a aoao ao !

Now back to work. (actually non ci'ho testa and I'm waiting for Eunji to finish her job so that we can eat chicken at Ministop, I hope she is in)

anyong!

Exam period, last week

Kategori:Allmänt

Last week of exams, I had my first this morning, Studies in British cinema. It went well, the class has been really interesting and even if I don't get any credits for it from my home university I am so happy that I took it. I'd like to be able to take these kind of classes in Sweden. We always just study what we need, and what is useful in a future job and never something just because its interesting. Sometimes efficiency is so boring.

Dream Design

Kategori:Allmänt

Today I organized my thoughts and I have come to the conclusion that engineering is about solving problems and design is about achieving a dream or vision. Since I am always in the middle I'm a little bit divided. But at least now I know the difference an can admire and criticize both fields.

Jag gör nånting mer än plugga och klättra. Jag sitter med Eunji och Doha utanför convenience store, drinking beer, sketching and eating until we realize the sun is rising and we should go home. 5am <3

Tyvärr gör jag inte så mycket mer än klättra och plugga. Och plugga ger inte så fina bilder:-)
