My Vacation Has Officially Begun.

My OM final went much better than I thought it would, phew. But now, I don't know what I'm going to do with my textbook because it's so heavy, I don't want to bring it home. My friend suggested for us to make a bon fire and have all the international students throw their textbooks in -- sounded like a good idea at that moment!

I did a shop at Dongdaemun while everyone else was packing, finishing up their exams, or writing their final papers. It was nice~ I finally got to explore the new Doota! Fashion Is War building!
It's a very clean and modern store that's set up like the other shopping complexes in that each floor caters to specific segment groups.
The clothes in Doota! are better quality and more stylish in a chic way than ones like Migliore and Hello aPM. Prices range from 32,000-230,000won for women's clothes compared to Migliore's approx. 5,000-50,000won.
I didn't buy anything though I really liked quite a few things.
Designer(ish) family matching tees~
The accessories floor -- Didn't take many pictures last night:
Chipmunk loves fresh&hot cheese naan...
This paht bing su (shaved ice + ice cream dessert w/ fruit + red bean + mochi) is made for 2 ppl but 4 shared.
The coffee cake (Julie loves coffee) we picked up @ Tous Les Jours.
With the birthday girl

The last time I'm going to see my main competition in Korean beginner's class
kk we had fun.







Street food! It was delicious - marinated skinless chicken alternated with green onions... but I asked him if it was "mewoyo" (spicy) and he said "ahn mewoyo" (not spicy). Pssh to him it wasn't spicy -- I could barely finish it.

Going to pack and then go shopping~
Tonight's farewell party.... will be great.

Cloudy

Whahaaaaa Marketing is overrrr! I really enjoyed that class~ His exams are so hard though... the fill in the blank terms kill me every time but at least this time, the essay questions went well.

This is my marketing group taken after the exam ^^
I just realized they all have the most common Korean last names: Kim, Lee, Park, and Choi.
All the girls are in 2nd year - they're so funny and nice and they work so hard -- they had 3 exams yesterday, 2 today, and will have 2 tomorrow so since they stayed up all night and since they were so under-dressed compared to usual, they were a bit reluctant to take a picture. So happy I got to be in their group! We will KIT for sure.

This microwaveable spaghetti box is quite good. 2 minutes ding ding~
And I like that aloe drink. It has chunks of aloe inside.
Operations Management final tomorrow (last one!). It's open book/notes which I'm thankful for, but we've gone though 12 chapters since the midterm and the midterm was killer....... I'm going to treat myself to a manicure after no matter how badly it goes hah.

2 days until goodbye/hello........................ vacation.
