A shift in plans.
So the summer plans to study in Korea have officially been
dashed. I met with my vocational rehabilitation
(DVR) counselor to find out about a program I had hurried up and signed up for
one in my excitement.
But I wants it! |
Let me preface this with the knowledge that;
1.This did
not come out of the blue.
2.This had been discussed at length on several occasions.
3. It isn’t the worst possible thing.
Yes, I should |
Specifically the Pacific Ocean |
The problem is that voc-rehab won’t back a study abroad
because it is not “needed” for my degree. But it kinda is at the same time. I
worked it out that I have an exchange in the fall, it is different from the study
abroad in the way that FAFSA covers it as an instate tuition and not a foreign
tuition. I am literally exchanging my place at WWU for someone at an adjacent school
in Korea (Korea U or Yonsei). The study
abroad is a completely different program and fees don’t work the same.
So basically I will be here in the summer,
and wait until fall to go.
I am feeling better after opening and E-mail I received. Basically
I need to choose my programs for the fall quarter at the universities.
Tea works wonders for calming rage. |
My
biggest bummer for this whole situation is that I wanted to take a beginning Korean
class to learn anything (everything) I missed teaching myself from the beginning,
and grammar. I also really need to expand my vocabulary. I barely know how to say hello, there are so
many words I just don’t know. Then in the fall I planned to take an intensive Korean
course. I guess now I will just take an intense Korean course and make it work.
Nothing like learning by fire.
I am frustrated and a little hurt that I couldn't make it work. But, I know it is what it is and there is probably a good reason for it. It will work out when the time is right. I will get over it in a couple days. For now I will cuddle with my weiner because she makes me feel better
So immature, can't believe they let me in uni. |
But it's nothing that can't be over come, and the ultimate goal remains the same:
