Changes,

An exchange is not supposed to go smoothly. I have realized that over and over during my time in South Korea. I like variation, changes, challenges, problems that can be solved and so on. After two long days of work as an IFCC Staff, bad news was the last thing I wanted. 

Last semester I got to know my life's first roommate, Hyesun. Such a hardworking, strong, kind and likable girl. I was lucky to have her as my roommate and I was devastated when I got the news from her in December, that she got fired and had to move out. I was lost, I didn't want to live with anyone else but her. Half of my winter break was spent to just think about who my new roomie would be, will we get along, can she speak english, where is she from and so on. When I finally found out, who I was going to spend my following four months with, I was relieved. 

That relief didn't last for long though. After living together for one week, she basically threw me out from the room, where I have lived for the past six months. I can't understand how it's possible. I have so much stuff, and she has nothing, since she has spent about one month in this dorm. The reason for all of this, is that her best friend will move in to this room. Feels like when I was in elementary school and I wasn't good enough to spend time with the popular kids, since I was different or something. 

So today it's time for me to move out. Moving out is a bit sad. I mean, I have lived here for six months and even though the room I move into is exactly the same, this is still "my room" and I really don't want to leave. But, I will be moving one floor up and my new roommate will be a girl from Peru, which doesn't sound bad at all. This stress and extra work, was the last thing I wanted before the new semester starts. Anyways, wish me luck to get all my things away from here into another room. And no, I'm not looking forward to this, I don't even know where to start. The drawers are full with clothes and my wardrobe is full too…

Sorry for the mess!
