YUP, it's finally my last semester in uni.
"Did you take masters?" "I thought you're done with uni? No?"
Bet most of you would actually have that thinking yeah since most that are in the same batch as me, are either married and have kids OR have a full-time job (so-called settle down). Due to financial issues, I took break from continuing in doing uni even I have only one semester to complete. Well, there's always a reason behind everything.
Mid of this year, after saving up money from working multiple part time jobs, I am happy to say that I am finally back in uni. I am quite lucky to say that I only have to do 1 elective unit for this last semester which means, I can focus more in getting those HDs (high distinction in Monash). Sadly, due to Covid-19, I have to do my last semester online. Not an issue for me tho. Since the unit doesn't have to be related to my major, I thought of doing a unit that I have been eyeing for awhile now which is taking a Korean language unit.
Don't think I have ever told you this but I have been studying Korean on my own for maybe 2~3 years now but J U S T imagine, if I were to take an actual Korean class, it would be so sick, you reckon? Back to the story, since it's a Semester 2 unit, I had to take an entry test to see my Korean level is and to be enrolled into the unit. If you follow me in my SNS (Twitter, FB or even Instagram), you would know how I got into it. I took a written test as well as a 8AM Korean interview with the Unit Coordinator. To be honest, he was asking me whether I would want to enrol into "Advanced" class but due to lack of grammar knowledge, I told him to put me into intermediate class which I did!!!
It has been 8 weeks since I have started the class and I am so in love with it. Just had my first ever mid-term test in full on Korean few weeks back AND MY RESULTS ARE OUT FINALLY. Proud to say that my efforts paid off!!! YOUR GIRL HERE GOT HD ㅎㅎ Some might say, it's just mid-term...well, it's a big achievement for me since I don't really have anyone to help me check my Korean skills properly tho. Another good news is, I got picked, among 20 Monash students, to do Korean language exchange program with Seoul Women University for 6 weeks!!!!!! L U C K Y .
Another exciting news is, there's a Korean Speech Contest in my uni and I will be participating. I feel like if I don't do it, it will be such a waste tho... SO YES, I WILL BE PARTICIPATING IT. Usually, I am not the type that always go forward or take up any opportunity that comes BUT I really think that it will be great to expose myself to everyone with my skills even though it's not that great yet.
Would update you soon on another issue that I kept a secret from everyone. For now, stay safe, wash your hands frequently and make sure to wear your mask properly.
