Law school has many downsides. (Honestly, at this point, I'm having trouble thinking of many upsides.) You go from being top of your class to hoping you're in the upper 50%, but not really knowing. You start to realize that you're squinting a lot more. You read not til the wee hours in the morning, but to when 'real worlders' are getting up to take showers. Most of all, though, unless you're independently wealthy or your parents are ridiculously wealthy and crazy generous, you don't really have much disposable income. So I don't know if I'll even be able to head anywhere this summer, much less anytime in the next 2 1/2 years, and my K-Deutsch friends aren't helping my any bit. :)
Anna posted pictures of Heidelberg and Hamburg. And I facebook stalked Tanya's brother and went through his whole Germany album. And I WAS JEALOUS. I miss the quaint red-roofed houses, and the gothic cathedrals, and the rustic mountains. I miss armour-filled castles and schnitzel and real bratwurst. But then I miss...Koreanness: serene, sloped-roofed temples, mountaintop fortress walls and towering apartment skylines; I miss $5 비빔밥 and 소주집 and 떡복기 at midnight.
So, the question is, what's going to be at the top of my list in 2.5 years? Will it be Korea? Or Germany? For me, they're both D-land.. heh heh. Or...are we going to go with Africa to fulfill noraebang dreams? I'm accepting votes.
