Heyy y'all it's finals week.... I'm like halfway done already. I did my final essay for one class yesterday, and had half of my Korean language exam today, and the listening and speaking part is tomorrow morning. I'm not really worried about any of it, I just want it to be over with.
In other news, Joanna and I tried to go to a cat cafe today, but the only one close by was closed, and it's been raining today and yesterday so we decided not to walk and find another one in Sinchon, so we're just planning on going tomorrow. Instead, we went and got donuts and drinks at Dunkin and chatted about kpop and bilingualism :) Good fun!
Shall I upload some pictures for youse? Here ya go!

Funny story, while I was taking these pictures outside, a Korean lady came up to me and asked to take a photograph. I assumed she wanted me to take a picture of her with her small daughters, but turns out she wanted to take a picture of ME with her daughters.... It was a little awkward but they were cute and I was just a little surprised that she was like "ohh foreigner I should take a picture with my kids" haha but it was funny i guess :P
Dung Shaped red-bean bread! It's really tasty haha!! So crispy and sweet! yummm :P

| Its sweet red bean paste guys don't worry its the same stuff they put in the fish shaped bread |
We went to a fortune teller in an the Insadong Mall. It was a really tiny place, but Jasmine said it's really popular and accurate :P All in good fun, right?

Me and Jasmine both asked about our near future love lives :P Apparently August and September are my lucky months this year for love and as long as I make a decision in a dilemma i'll be in, I'll meet a nice guy whose easy to communicate with haha :) Here's hoping!!
