SUMMER IN SEOUL: A DAY IN SCHOOL [BUZZ KOREA]


Pardon the blackberry-camera-quality picture><

SNU's Building137 had been my school for 3 weeks this summer. Even though this language institute is in SNU, I was told the institute is not directly linked to SNU? I.......am not very sure. 

Anyway, the schedule for this 3 weeks intensive course is:
Mon - Fri / 9am - 1pm 
Breaks were - 9:50am - 10:00am / 10:50am - 11:0am / 11:50am - 12:10pm
Complete a textbook

I had 3 선생님s (teachers); I have the same teacher on monday & friday, tuesday & thursday, and wednesday. I prefer having just one teacher for the entire three weeks but I guess they have other classes to teach. 


This is the textbook I use. It was also SNU's first time using it, according to one of my teachers. There were 9 topics in this book, and we were taughtt 1 topic everyday. Had homework everyday, 2 quizzes, 2 roleplays, 1 oral presentation and a final exam; and all played a part in determining your final grade at the end of the program. 

On a typical school day,
I wake up at 7am if I am not feeling d e a d. Lol kidding, I snooze my alarm till 7:20am almost everyday because I really CANNOT wake up. (✖╭╮✖) Some days I jump out of bed at 7:40am because I fell asleep after 'waking up'. Hahahaha. 
I need to take a bus to school and the bus recommended by the dorm assistant is always super crowded because (i think) it's the one of the few buses in my area that goes to the subway station. After squeezing (or trying to) myself up the bus for about a week, I finally realised there were plenty of buses I could take if I wanna get to school. And most of them are empty!! I KNOW RIGHT, after 1 week then I realise -______-
Takes about 5-10 minutes to reach school, depending on the traffic. Trust me when I say you should always just take a seat when taking a bus in Seoul. The drivers are so good they turn your bus ride into a roller coaster ride. You don't wanna try a roller coaster ride while standing right?? Mmhmm. 

I usually have lunch with my classmates after school; mostly at the school canteen (before my sister came over). You can't buy food from the school canteen if you are not a student, so we were issued this.....letter, and we have to show it every time we get food.


This is how it looks like! 

This canteen only has 2 sets of food for you to choose from for lunch. Changes everyday. Not the best food, but cheap (i.e. 2,500won- 4,500won). 


Some food I've tried while I was there. 

On less lazy days, we head out for lunch.

After lunch, we sometimes hang out together somewhere, or just go separate ways.

Am really missing those days...... TnT
