My Korean Name is Finally Chosen

After a few changes and talking to several people, I have finally decided to stick with a Korean name!!! For those of you who can't read Korean, it sounds like so-eun. All the Koreans tell me it's beautiful! My friend picked it out for me. She asked me what my name means. I told her that Julia means youthful and that my middle name is Grace. So the "so" part is a syllable in a word that means youthful and the "eun" part means grace. Finally, I have found a beautiful name with a good meaning behind it!!! I'm rather excited :]

I couldn't say this better myself

We watched this video in my Mass Media & Ethics class today. I'm so happy I had a chance to see this. Jean Kilbourne accurately depicts the way women are affected by advertising and how it makes me feel as a young woman. Please watch it. I hope it can actually start a change in the way society views women.

Call me crazy...

...but I really would like to find a guy who wants to live in Korea... and be my other half. I've met several Koreans who plan to live in the U.S. And several Korean Americans who plan to go, but are already taken...

Do I really have to wait until I actually get to Korea??
I am a bit impatient. It seems like going for another year with nobody in sight will be frustrating. People call me picky. But, frankly, I'm not going to waste any time on being in a relationship that's doomed because I'm going to Korea and he's not. And even if I meet someone who wants to/is living in Korea doesn't mean I'll be attracted to him. It's not like I'm attracted to just any guy. I do have a so-called "type". And it's not like I'm picky about that either.

I will just have to wait.
And see.

Self-discovery is awesome

I've known for a while that I'm the kind of person that when asked to do something, or I know I need to get something done, I'll do it right away.

But I just realized that I apply this to homework. I realized that during the first week of classes each semester I'll look over all the due dates in the syllabus and start cramming in my homework for the first week straight away! Haahahaha! Don't get me wrong, I do pace myself, it's just that I need to try and control myself during the first week to not go overboard :]

Tired, all over

I need refreshment
I work all day
I stay out late
I get home and stay up all night
and then I wake up early the next morning to work all day again
stay out late again
stay up all night again.

Luckily, my relationships are strong. I wouldn't be able to make it if I didn't find time to spend time deepening my relationship with God and know such fun people. And have parents that care so much about me.

I really want to spend more time with my sister. Seeing my coworkers who are both sisters move in together and work at the same place and go to the same school makes me jealous.
