Start Alone, End Alone

I went to Korea for my JTA, alone.
I went to Sogang from Incheon International Airport, alone.

Tomorrow, I'll eat lunch, alone.
Tomorrow, I'll leave Sogang, alone.
Tomorrow, I'll leave Korea, alone.

The next day, I'll arrive at NAIA 3, alone.
On that day, I will go to my home from NAIA 3, alone.

Start alone, end alone, indeed.

Comments? :D

Sidetrack to Future...What?

This week's gonna be (a bit) deadly. AND THIS POST TOO! (This is a TL;DR post so read at your own risk)

Currently, I am an exchange student in Sogang University, here in Seoul, Korea (yet, this status is about to end soon).  In almost a week, I'm going back to my home country and continue my studies.  The program (Junior Term Abroad) entitles me for only one semester here.

Back to my first statement, yes, this week's gonna be a bit deadly than the previous weeks.  More or less as deadly as my midterms week. This week is our finals week and every student, whether foreigner or Korean, have their faces into their books and lecture slides. (Just a comment, Koreans have a very disciplined study habits.  Perhaps, they got this from studying for the College Scholastic Ability Test or suneung (수능). This tests sometimes trigger the suicidal instincts of high school students, and that's another part of the story.)  Well, I may not have study habits as disciplined as the locals here but my study habits (aka cram study) puts me to survival in my life as a student.
