As my visa expiry date approaches, my mind is all messed up. I am so tempted to go back to Korea next month. Since I've changed my plan which is going back to University to study English education in Korea, the time is just around the corner. The process to accept students starts next month. It's so tight, though and I'd also like to stay more here to get more confidence of my English. I have to decide by this month. However, I found some good information while I was browsing the university's website about EXP(Exchange Program). The university I want to go to have a program which allows me to come back here to study in UofT. They only select 4 students for UofT regardless their major. I have so much things to do for that. First of all, I have to be accepted first from that university. Secondly, I have to finish one semester to satisfy their requirement to apply as a EXP applicant, then I can apply for that. It would be great I could come back as an exchange student in UofT for one year. I can benefit from that for my next study here. The reason I changed my plan was mainly because of notoriously expensive tuition in UonT for international students. I was hoping to go to UofT. but, I don't have enough money to study there for two or three years. If I could come here as an exchange student, I only pay tuition in Korea, I don't need to pay anything in UofT. What a smart move could be.
Last night, I managed to talk to my friend online. I was asking her to send something to me. During conversation, age thing came up, saying she is turning 30 and I am 36 next year. Actually, I'm one year younger than I really am. My birth certificate says I'm one year older and also Korean age is always one year older than Canadian age or even two since we change our age on the first day of year. I am 33 now, but it can be 35 because of mistake of the birth certificate and Korean age counting thing. It's really bothering me. If I go back to University two years later from now, I will be 37 in Korean age. I have to study with guys who are 15 years younger than me. I don't know that's not a strange thing here but I'm sure it's not very common in Korea. On the other hand, many of my friends keep saying that they want to change their job and career but can't do it for some reasons. I'm so lucky I'm still doing what I dream of. It's because I'm the youngest in my family and have no family yet. My plan is settling down before 40. After 40, I will still have half of life left If I keep my health ( I should keep skating to stay in good health). If I think of my life back, it's really long time. If I could do what I love to do for the half of my life, it would be really awesome. I would go for that.
Anyway, My life is getting boring here. I gotta get out of my boring routine by either getting myself out of this country next month or simply doing something which keeps me busy not to think of boring things.
