Hi everyone! I finished all my midterms finally! WHOOOHOOOO. These past two weeks were very long and challenging, but I did it. Some professors here like to trick you into thinking they are very easy and nice, but then BAM their exam hits the table and it is harder than expected. Anyway, this post is going to be about hiking in Seoul. Here is a link I found to some great hiking trails in the city: http://www.visitkorea.or.kr/ena/SI/SI_EN_3_6.jsp?cid=309631 My ...

Hi, So the first week of classes is over. All I can say is I am so happy its Friday. It seems as thought it was a stressful week for everyone.
