so this whole posting everyday thing is turning out to be really easy, seeing that no matter what i do, i always wake up at around this time (it's about 2am here) and have absoultely nothing to do. i'm really starting to wonder if i'll ever be able to get more than 3 hours of sleep a day here... and i'm wondering how wmany more days i can go on like this without completely crashing. this lack of sleep situtation is almost reminiscent of finals week, onyl without the all the stress of studying and the burning desire to throw myslef in front of a bus. i figure it'll take about a week or so for me to just pass out.
i finally saw yonsei univesity today. it was so much bigger than i had expected and there were thousands of students roaming all over campus. i'm used to there being a lull in students outside during class hours, but i guess classes begin and end at random times here, so the campus is a zoo all day and all night.
the campus itself is beautiful. there are lots of tree-lined streets and wooded areas. the older buildings are made of grey stones and i love how they're completely covered with that really leafy ivy. my cousin's son, young ju (all my counsin's children are in their early to late 20's, by the way), gave me a walking tour of the campus and the area of the city right outside of it (sinchon).
the amount of people wandedring around sinchon was crazy. the sidewalks were packed with people standing shoulder to shoulder and the cars and buses were insane. apparently, no one follows any traffic laws around here when it comes to driving. there are lines painted on the road indicating separate lanes, but i'm starting to wonder if i'm the only person who sees them. plus, there are virtually no stop signs anywhere in the city, including all over campus. you just kind of go at your own will, and if you happen to be walking, then you better hope to God that the drivers won't flatten you into roadkill.
anyway, right now i'm staying at young ju and his sister, ryung's, apartment near yonsei. i'll be allowed to move into the dorms on thursday and i start classes on sept. 23. i'm thrilled that i have the opportunity to just spend a few more days wandering around the city and learning the subway system. let's hope i don't' get completely lost tomorrow...
