Just though I'd mention to all my friends that, yes, I am still working on chapter 7 of my little piece of fanfiction. I currently have three pages written and I hope to get it done before this month ends (though finals are going to be appearing soon, so, that is subject to change). But my goal is to have it posted before December. I'm gonna try my hardest.

Now back to your regularly scheduled programme.

I thought I'd make a post dedicated to some of the K-Pop I heard while during my three week stay on the other side of the world. A lot of these songs are damn catchy and infectious. Plus, there's lots of eye-candy for both genders.


Warning: You will get these songs in your head )

Sorry for the delay, but now that I'm back home in the States, I have some time to post more photos from my experience in Gwangju, South Korea. This time, I shall focus on more of the natural sites that surround the city, primarily Mudeungsan (the tallest mountain in the area) and Gwangju Lake Park.

Clicky, clicky )

Just thought I would let my LJ buddies know that I will not be making it home until Thursday at the earliest. We missed our first flight from Gwangju to Gimpo, thus missing the flight from Incheon to Dallas. We're on the waiting list for seats on the next flight to Dallas, but that is not a 100% guarantee. So, for now we're waiting on Incheon island.

Sorry for the delay on trip updates, this is the first time I've had access to a computer for more than about five minutes. Expect more photos soon...but probably when I arrive back home.

Well, I'm finally in Gwangju, South Korea for my three week teaching internship. And holy crap, we spent about 27 hours travelling altogether - 14 hours alone on the Boeing 777-200 to Seoul from Dallas. There's 10 of us who will be teaching English to grade schoolers (plus one professor who is basically a chaperone). It's really awesome that UIW (University of the Incarnate Word) was able to arrange this with the Gwangju city government. And man, we've gotten a bit of VIP treatment thus far. It's quite surreal.

Forget what you've heard/read/seen about Michael Jackson the eccentric, it's a sad day for music today. As a child of the mid-to-late 80s and early 90s, it didn't get any bigger than Jackson. He was it.

He was one of (if not the) the first African-American artists whose appeal crossed over racial, ethnic, gender boundaries. He wasn't just popular with white kids, black kids, women - he bridged the gap. Pretty remarkable. Hell, the man made MTV. Without him, the channel probably wouldn't have lasted. The man just made damn good pop music.

In popular western music, there's about a handful of artists I can name whose music and influence is and will forever be remembered: Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and Michael Jackson.

Mr. Jackson already has immortaltiy through his music.

Now if only I could finally learn how to moonwalk.

I'm just curious as to whether or not a song(s) has ever made you tear up?

Sometimes I succumb to tears when listening to a particularly pretty song (most of these are love songs), other times I'll just feel a chill run down my spine. I'm a sucker for a good love song. And then there are songs that make me tear up because I associate certain memories with them.

Actually, the last song that got me emotional most recently was "Never More", the end theme to Persona 4. I was listening to it last night for no reason and bam! I started silently weeping. I think it goes back to the context in which the song is first heard and my own experiences with friends. I know very well the context in which the song is played during.

I'm such a dork. If I cry, it'll either be silent tears or I get all blubbery and weepy and cursing at the thing that made me break down (think Franky from One Piece).

Well, that was a random entry...

So, I took the THEA examination today to enter my university's education program (it's required for anyone wishing to earn the minor and certification). Without a doubt, it was the longest test I've ever taken. Took me nearly the entire allotted five hours to complete it (I was in one room from 8:30 till nearly 2 in the afternoon). Exams like that really are annoying.

And, like I thought, the only stumbling blocks I had were in the math section. I knew about half of the stuff, and half of it I didn't remember how to even go about solving. Fucking maths. I don't see why I need to be versed in college algebra when I'm going to be an art teacher. :| I'm really hoping I don't have to end up re-taking that portion six weeks from now, but... well, I hadn't had any math courses for about seven years and I really didn't get a chance to study for the thing. Everything else was easy street, though.

After I got out of that hellhole, I had to make my way all the way across town to get to my 3 pm class. Lo' and behold, it had been canceled. That's how it always goes, it seems.

Well, tomorrow I have an interview (again, for the education program) and then later in the week I have another test to take. Plus not to mention the appointment with a counselor I have, too.

I can't wait till I can relax.

The day had me in a silly mood though, all foggy and slightly sprinkling...I'll always think of P4 whenever it's foggy now. I'm such a dork.

Here be the introductory chapter of my original Persona-based fan fiction. Don't expect a lot, it's just a prologue after all.
