Korean Notebook

Wow. Hard to believe its been two years since I last posted here.

Time flies. So much has been up in the air with my Korean language learning journey. I remember last time I was taking lessons. But anyways. Hi again to anyone who stops by — with some available time I’d like to start doing something here.

Again, hi, and ty for reading if anyone does. (;

Have an awesome day.

Kirsten.

PS : legit…

Vocab, why you do this to me? WHY?

안녕하세요 여러분!

Yeah, I forgot how much I despise vocabulary, like a lot. I knew I didn’t like the idea of forgetting a lot and having to learn the vocabulary section but I really just forget how much I hated it :(

Today I studied 85 words. That’s it. Just 85 words :(

The grammar is perfectly fine, as I am sure you can all recall if you’ve read any of my previous posts I have a love of grammar and the…

[NEW POST] My Korean Evaluation Lesson :(

안녕하세요.

Today was my evaluation lesson for Korean. Oh my god, I was nervous but looking forward to it.

So the news, I have forgotten the bulk of vocabulary I used to know, so fast track I now have a 100 word a week lesson plan. And to make sure I am 100% truly alright even though I know the information I have asked to have a foundation plan too alongside some other Intermediate content.

My reading…

[NEW POST] Sanely Speaking!

Hello everyone, long time.

Hope everyone has been okay, today I went out, like I left my house. It was weird, my palms got sweaty, my hands were shaking and I almost felt like throwing up.

That is TMI, I know, I am sorry, but this is how I am right now and I just wanted to state it, to move onto my post title, I have moments of sanity too. I have moments when I lift my head, and I feel like I can…

Hello.

World of Warcraft is currently in maintenance and I was just sitting here listening to this song and thought I would log on here and fix links and sort stuff out…just do something while I wait for the game to be up again.

So how has everyone been? Hope everyone’s studies have been going well? I sadly haven’t studied anything in a long time. I dont even know what I remember etc, well, but,…

The other day I was talking to a girl, who is 22, and she lost her mum earlier this year to a terminal illness and from the beginning she has helped me as much as she can. We are both in a lot of pain.  She also cut and she told me not to anymore even if it did help, in fact she said she knows it helps a lot but she said she knows when I go out people will stare, I don’t go out anymore honestly…

A Post of Many Bits and Pieces.

Hello all :)

How has everyone been? I hope you’ve all been well.

So this post comes about as I had yet another horrible fight with my Dad and sister.

Lets just say from the last post I made here I haven’t gotten any better, in fact you could say I have completely fallen apart. Am I proud of that? NO. Can I help it? No, either.

I am totally inactive with everything in my life right now, I…

I’ve Heard Grief Can Destroy a Family or Bring Them Together!

I am sorry to post such depressing posts but I can’t talk to anyone I feel lost and alone and expressing through a post seems the only outlet.

I’ve heard mourning for a loved one can either destroy or bring a family closer, and I wish it was the latter for me but right now I seem to be the person who is destroying everyone. I am not doing it on purpose. But me turning into a walking vegetable…

My Future Intentions With Life and This Blog ⏰⏰😩

Morning.

If you’ve been following my Instagram and Twitter you’ll know that my Mom has passed away and I have not been handling it well, today marks the first week since her death. And over the last week I’ve gone through so many emotions …I’ve been sad as I still am right now then I’ve been angry and sad at the same time. Then I’ve blamed myself, saying I could have changed everything. I could…

BOOKS AND SUN ☀️📚

Ah! It’s so refreshing to have a book you’re enjoying in hand and nice warm weather. Let’s not forget some nice peace and quiet 😜 

I forgot what it felt like to sit in absolute silence with a novel in hand and some much needed sun. Thankfully it was sunny today and I have been reading a novel (been a while with it being winter and all) ; it felt so nice to just be nice and warm without wearing…

These last few weeks have been odd for me. I’m thinking more about life and the person I am ; underneath but odd exterior.

WHO AM I?

I know only a handful of things about myself and lately those few things I know about myself seem to be shifting...it’s very strange but I almost feel like I need to rediscover who I am and what I want in life.

I know what I like, and that doesn’t seem like it’s shifting, on the contrary my feelings/passion for the things I love seem to be getting stronger. Causing a problem with my budget at the same time (living at home, on a self-imposed sabbatical and no job LOL) -- so my parents budget? :/

But I think I see myself knowing ME better.

Speaking of things I like doing, I have some Korean grammar to study :) then maybe search the web for new things to buy that will take me months to finish.

Of Kings and Queens!!

I have a new fascination, with the Korean Imperial family. Well former Korean Imperial Family now, their history and everything. Basically Korean history, but in particular the royal family bit going back centuries. I am sadly far too broke to stock up on new books :( that and I have enough to read as it is. But learning more about Korean history (the royal family part) is really fun. Very…
