These days, I have been really busy. Usually eating 1.5 meals a day and sleeping 6-7 hours per night. I get wifi on the subway or at school, but I never really have the chance to sit behind a computer. When I have a spare minute, I think about my future. Whether that future is good or bad depends on decisions that I make today, and how hard I work at my classes.

I have one exam and 3 quizzes to study for this weekend. In addition, I am seriously behind in my intermediate accounting class. I intend on drinking one or two liters of coffee in order to accomplish my tasks today. I am so busy that after going to classes there is little to none residual time left in order to prepare for the next day or class. Saturday and Sunday is my only shot to get caught up.

I regret not learning Korean language earlier in my life. I really envy the Korean middle school students that are learning English, or the international high school students that are learning Korean. By the time these individuals reach college, they will have adequate proficiency in their second language. My high school, community college, and state university did not teach me the skills needed to be successful in Asia.

Schedule

This is what my week looks like. However, time flies. Soon I will be back to blogging about Korean culture and history.

<i>*BASAA Scholarship</i> Anyong friends! I am Brandon Morrissette. I study Finance at Plymouth State University. In the past before college, I worked in the hospitality industry. I was born and raised in a small rural town in the far northern part of New Hampshire. I will study two semesters at Korea University in Seoul. My goal from this experience is to be able to read, write, and speak Korean language at a fourth grade level. I want to travel to all places in Asia. This is because at work I met many friendly, interesting people from that continent. I chose Korea in particular as the result of gentle persuasion from my Korean friends. My favorite academic subject is economics. When I am not studying for my classes, I enjoy learning about Buddha and Confucius. I intend on doing many temple visits. In Korea, I look forward to being reunited with a co-worker who is really dear to me and that I have not seen for 5 years. In addition to seeing old friends, I look forward to meeting many new ones. I also look forward to eating delicious food in Korea. It is possible that I love food because I did not have the best food when I was a growing up. After study abroad and graduation, my goal is to financially support my whole family.
