Tag # 200 - # 212: Musical, movie, concert, friends, KLPT

Oh my God ... I think I've surpassed myself in the category of "do not write in his diary a long time."
If you consider that I've done in the first half as good as each day what to write T_T very sad that I be declining so ... And I really
have a lot to tell ^ ^

Let's just about 2 weeks ago XD
On 14.3. I went as usual to my Animal Behavior lessons (where we are right now, the evolution of animals (and humans) by taking more than their behavior).
The professor normally presented his material in front, until suddenly, about 30 minutes after the beginning of class, a boy in the front row (!) Raised his hand and called out loud "선생님!

선생님 (SeonSaengNim) means teacher, professor, etc. Here in Korea, people are quite often addressed with their profession or their status. More instructive to be simply called SeonSaengNim halt, or possibly with the last name before (= Lee SeonSaengNim). Or someone who has been in a bit more experience than you (eg because he has been working longer in a business, or if that person is a class above you in school), call this person 선배 (SeonBae). And president of a company or a boss is addressed with 사장님 (SaJangNim).

I and I think everyone else in the auditorium have super scared because 1 was never made between the lecture a question, ever afterwards. And 2 he geschriehen the expression truly and in a tone of voice said, as if the professor just said something totally wrong and when the student is able to understand how the Prof and his students can thus teach nonsense. Added to this was, of course, that it was a male voice ... which probably occurs on a Frauenuni not so often (even though we have a regular male students in Animal Behavior. An exchange student).
In any case, the guy jumped up and suddenly began ... music to run! And he started to sing! As in a musical he was in front and sang and danced. Suddenly was only a few rows in front of me and another boy started to sing and also to go forward to the "stage". A girl makes the two guys short time later, even society. Unfortunately I got from the lyrics did not know much, except that it is about learning in the university and you do not give up his dream is to somehow ... so what.
Besides the three people who were singing at the front were also suddenly all people in the audience with a video camera or still camera took us to the whole spectacle ... XD
about 5 minutes the demonstration went and without saying what was going on all the people (singers + photographers) out of the auditorium ... and the professor went on the lecture, as if nothing had happened. because the professor had been watching quietly at all, I think that he had been informed in advance (as opposed to audience).

After class, I was on the Ewha Voice (the English Unizeitung) stopped and questioned, as I found the whole thing and what I think about it. There I also learned that it is probably just a club act in which members of all possible universities are and go from one university to another university and perform in various lectures, these "Musical Contribution". The idea they would probably get on Youtube, because there have seen a video of how it was made in America.

I thought that I have a could find video of the performance on Youtube or maybe a Korean equivalent, but unfortunately I was so far without success TT

But there was something different and something which one really ... I did not expect my REALLY lol And I love music ... all super ^ ^ XD

~*~*~*~*~

On 18.03. we watched in World History through Movies the movie The Passion of the Christ . Because I come to the time when it was in Germany in the cinema so much bad had heard about the film - which he should be brutally difficult and manageable - I had a little afraid to watch that film. But in the end I found him not so bad. Maybe because I had just already expected that he might be bad. But actually, I think so that I would be able to watch the movie without problems. After
film was in the discussion of course again, "arguing" about religions and each had a different view of whether that was realistic or not shown. In my opinion, one should not argue about such things but everyone can believe what he wants.
And until now I still do not understand why a few Americans in my class just could not talk about the film. So for things that have happened in the movie and how they are happening there, as the professor wanted to but always had the Bible and thus bring into play. (Although I must say that I had agreed to the most people ... but the task she had given us the professor, was now one another, through the film and the film alone to speak). Eventually, the professor then gave up and let us go XD

Yesterday (25.03.), We watched in class the film Henry V. , based on the Shakespearean drama. Unfortunately it was very difficult to understand because it was spoken in Shakespeare's language and even the English speakers had their problems. What I can understand but not at all is the fact that the professor said that this film in the last semester of the most popular said to have been movie ... then I ask myself what have looked for other films. I found the film - sometimes by the fact that I have not got it all apart - and I'm pretty boring I think a few times weggenickt ^ ^;;
Well, I just hope that next week the movie is "Luther "something interesting is ...

~*~*~*~*~

On 22.03. I was after a long time back on a concert. And OH MY GOD, what a concert. It was the last concert of a four-concert tour of the Korean singer Kim Jong Kook . After 5 years it was the first time that he was back on stage for a solo concert after by had completed mid-2006 to mid 2008 Militätdienst mandatory in Korea.
fan of the singer since I was about 2005, so I'm very very happy that I was at the time of the concert in Korea and was able to participate in it. A live report I will write all round answer precisely later, so I now consider myself something back.
Suffice it to say: No matter which concert I was until now, I think it was surpassed by the concert now.

~*~*~*~*~

On 23.03. I met SungMin. SungMin is a friend still in Bonn. She is studying at the moment in Bonn, but since there are still semester break, it is one month has elapsed in Korea came home.
equal after class I drove towards Samsung Station (about a 40minutes drive) down and we met at 12am. It was nice to see after half a year to a familiar face again ^ _ ^
Together we went to the COEX Mall and ate something there for lunch. I ate BiBimNaengMyeong. NaengMyeong are cold noodles and Bibim always means something that one has to mix with other stuff. The noodles were dipped in chili paste and stir you had the whole thing with meat and vegetables. It was very refreshing, although it was a bit too sharp (think of chili paste). But sooo delicious.
After we finished eating, and even a gift from RPF Professor Sungmin had bought, we went to Noraebang (Karaoke). Finally someone as crazy about the Noraebang like me!! We are simply gone to the next best, so it was more expensive than I'm used to. But the room was larger than any in which I was ever in there. Actually, it was definitely a room for at least 10 people * haha * Unfortunately, we had a few problems at the beginning, because the women had just started working there again. But these problems have been resolved and then we had our fun. We were definitely agree on one then: her in Bonn must be a Noraebang so we go there together again in Germany XD can
After Noraebang we did not know exactly what we should do more to SungMin remembered that she has two cinema vouchers (!!). So we went to the station and three stops from Kangnam Station, where the nearest cinema chain, for which the vouchers were (unfortunately I forgot the name of the cinema lol). There we spontaneously decided Slumdog Millionaire watching. Since we still had time before the film began, we have again gone to Drassen to McDonalds and have indulged in there a soft ice cream ^ ^

At first we both thought that we had chosen the wrong movie. Moreover, at the beginning of the movie was already shown won how many awards the film has already been, which was a little pretentious came over lol
But in the end the film well worth seeing. And I am very happy that they lifted the Bollywood for contribution to the final credits have ^ ^ (where all the casting then dances along to the station).

~*~*~*~*~

Yesterday I am now registered for the KLPT . is testing a test in which the level in Korea. The test itself will take place on 26.4. instead. Since I am sometimes very curious, as I will cut off. At best, I'll thump the month again right now in, so I cut off reasonably well * haha * A week before the test I also already my Midterm exams here at Ewha in Korean.

Where Is The Extra Fuel Tank On Poptropica

Tag # 195 - # 198 - YounJi, movies and kindergarten

Last Monday (08.03.) I've finally met YounJi ^ o ^
I was very pleased dadrüber that after half a year we could finally meet again! ^ O ^
We met at the main gate of Ewha, and are then gone to the Ewha gemeinsan eat in a restaurant. Something I had never eaten before, unfortunately I forgot the name lol BuDanJjiGae? No, I do not remember. It was definitely a big "pot" in the middle of the table, where were boiled in water and Vegetable noodles. Of course, there was again Banchan (the little bowls of extra things like kimchi, and other vegetables XD). It was delicious ^ ^
Since we had already identified in Germany, we must necessarily go together to Noraebang , which was of course after eating also done the same.
YounJi can really sing well! ^___^ We like being at a concert! I want another go with it ~
Then we went to Namdaemun market . This is a large open market, in which clothes, food and other things are sold legally offer lowest.
From there we went towards Myeongdong.
has at one of the street stalls YounJi bought for us, "egg bread". Very tasty and has me a bit of omelette or "American Knight" recalls. Do I necessarily eat again! We also have
made a small detour to a department store because we wanted to make the search for Haribo. Unfortunately we had not found T_T We have tried many different things to the sher-tasting food stalls. I think if you look not just enough money for a restaurant (which in Korea is almost impossible so, but assuming for XD), one could eat enough of the different tasting booths. Every few yards there to try something else. In
Myeongdong itself, we then started looking for new shoes as possible should not be too expensive.
After we had looked only at SPRIS over, the already had a few good models, I would still only look at other shoes I have to make a comparison. Therefore, we went to the ABC market. A two-storey shoe shop. Alleridngs were the shoes all had something expensive lol Among other things, they also went from the Big Bang Fila Limited Edition still there ... the first time that I would get my shoes from a band ... but the price LOL So again outside and in the end I've to a market-style booths, a new pair of "trainers" bought, it was very favorable. Let's see how long the hold. And I had the boots I had bought here in Korea or the size of 245, I had new shoes already in the 250th And even that is barely so. However, its a size that not every shoe store could stock oO At least with women's shoes so that it will be difficult ....
Are We then briefly to the Libro (book store) left because I wanted to buy a magazine and then it was again said to time bye T_T
But YounJi will come every 3 weeks to Seoul and I hope that we it can also meet once every 3 weeks !!!!!!
(Sorry, I forgot to take pictures T_____T)

Wednesday (11.03.) We have the first movie in my "World History through Movies" watched rate. The film was 300 . It was about the Spartans and the film consisted only of fighting. So my favorite film, the film is certainly not! * Drop * It was also reworked the Sun computer gear, that all looked as if they were computer animated people. Well, but it was interesting to watch sometimes. After the film there was a Disskusionsrunde. We had 4 questions and 4 groups, which have each made one of the questions thoughtfully. Then this should not present the results of the group in front, I have not noticed, however, as it was after the Disskusion himself after 6:15 clock (and thus actually end of the lesson) and I have Korean lessons at 7 AM near the City Hall had already had and, therefore.
Next week we will be the movie "The Passions see Christ. "is a bit uncomfortable to me already when I think of all the stories I've heard about people who have seen the movie lol

Today (Thursday, 12.03.) I've finally made it! I was in the Ewha ALPS Childrens Education and Care Center (short and "kindergarten" called lol).
I had in the I-House in a list for people who are in kindergarten now and again want to help out. A couple of days I then get an email today that was scheduled for 18h a meeting. More specifically, a short interview and a tour of the nursery. Promptly at 18h I was there, too. were but me some Japanese and a Hong Kong there. Ha Bing has also come a bit late to do so.
Once again we have all entered in a list of our data and the times in which we can, it went down in the 1st Basement, where we all sat around the table. After we had been given snacks and drinks ... we sat there.
I had just thought that we might imagine all times briefly, but no ... we just sat there ... we ate snacks lol
Two Beträuerinnen were there. One who almost could not speak English and the English was something gebrocheneres. The second option has then asked us things like: Where are you from? What is your favorite food in Korea? And how much Unterrciht do you have this semester?
Always with a distance of a few minutes of silence XD Somehow something funny. But sowviel on the "Interview"
then added and the one that almost could not speak English, led by the nursery.
I must say, it looks a little, that one is in a EWHA kindergarten. Ewha = money lol
There are 12 "classes". Divided into classes for 1-year-old children, 2-year-old children, 3-year-old children and 4/5-jährige children. In each "classroom" there was a keyboard and maybe other instruments. In the room for the slightly older were also more televisions and computers available. There were also still holding the typical things that is also available in German kindergartens. There is also a "restaurant", where children eat lunch and dinner. And oO a kind of assembly hall, a bit of a gym looks like, only that the children do not run dadrin allowed;; somehow strange, but hey lol
On the roof there's also a place where the children through in toy cars and the like the area can drive.
Even if it is an institution of Ewha can, both girls and boys attend this kindergarten (this is also so with the elementary school, middle school and high school. Only the university is only for girls).
At the end of us, the woman then told that they based on our establish a plan to be times when we can come over and we will send the eMail. I'm curious what will come of it yet. I'm definitely all possible times mentioned, in which I have no classes in the hope that I can come several times a week ^ ^

Jim Banks Probate Scam

Tag # 188 - # 192 - The first week of classes in the new term

So, the first university week lies behind me now.
The first week is always there to attend various courses once and then decide which courses you take ultimately.
In the orientation event you always get a list of courses that are taught in English (you can also look on the internet).
Only Once all courses have been deleted by me in the list that take place in the first three hours, "because I have Korean lessons in time and can not take anything else.
first Hours: 8:00 to 9:15
second Hours: 9:30 to 10:45
third Hours: 11:00 to 12:15 fourth
Hours: 12:30 to 13:45
5th Hours: 14:00 - 15:15 6th
Hours: 15:30 to 16:45
7th Hours: 16:45 to 18:00

Korean lessons:
today 8:30 to 11:10
from March 9: 8:10 to 10:50 (so that it is made possible, that even for Lesson 3 go to other lessons ... I can but hope that no one in my class would do that and we push it back again ... 8:30 is too early anyway lol)

I found several things interesting ... unfortunately it's all geknubbelt somehow in the same time. Moreover, there was not really something that was related to my field of study, so I've decided to take only general interest courses. It is then
Animal Behavior (Tuesdays & Fridays in the 4th hour in the 5th hour), and World History and Culture in / through Movies (Wednesday the 6th and 7th hour).
Today (Friday) had to have filled out a form and get a signature from all the professors that it is okay, that we participate in their lessons. With this form we will then Katherine Kim (her Office is now in the ECC room B334) and with the prices then in the computer. Then you get a confirmation that you have demonstrated these courses now.
Now it has again one months time to decide whether it really was the right decision and if you prove it no longer wants it, is there another week where you can log out, the "opt-out" phase . (However, one must then go back to the professor and get a signature of what can be a bit embarrassing lol).

After I was with Katherine Kim, I went to the Student Union and have tried one of the many students to join clubs, but unfortunately I had to learn that one at least until November sien here in order to join this particular club T_T I found it a bit sad because I would really like to ... joined the club and after a week finally gathered the courage, had to go there T__T But well, can not do anything . I focus on containing only learn Korean again lol
But theoretically, there are a lot of clubs that you can also join as a foreigner. The problem is that in the booklet, that in the beginning with all sorts of information gets to the university, always, only the phone numbers of the clubs. And if you can not perfect Korean is indeed a bit inhibited to call there. However, I've seen today that you can probably also go to Katherine Kim, and then for one there is calling.

Shortly Korean to what my teachers: I have
SeonSaengNim Hwang (Hwang teacher) again! I had them in last semester (she is the one where I had my last two oral exams). I am very happy that we at least one of the two teachers have once again ^ _ ^ My other teacher is
wife Jo and seems to be fine too. Although it is very slow and "Boys Before Flowers" (the Korean drama that I wrote last time and at the moment is SUPER famous here) seems to be crazy lol But this is quite funny (since everyone in the class before the drama I watch, can also do with any their grammatical examples of this drama about something with XD). (Honest, I'm still the 70% of the Korean people (or only living in Seoul) is not oO this drama broadcast).

The current class is the greater-than half the class last year (previously 10 now 15 people). And they come in most of my class from China (including 8 from China) * _ *; Moreover, since today met with a German to us. (= 3 German, also a Japanese woman, 2 in the USA, a Russian woman). I am very curious to see if again such a nice class sense of community comes into existence, as was the case last semester ^ ^ Somehow I do not believe it, although as 7 people from my old class ... or maybe just because we know we have 7 people and form a "group". But who knows, maybe it's different.
