A lot has changed in the past few months...a lot. I wanted to go to schol for summer to learn the language and it also was a great excuse to go to the country that I love.
Trying to figure out how much time should be devoted to class (4 days a week, 4 hours a day, with now three sets of homework per class and 1 set 2x a week + vocab words), meeting with friends some of which I have known for 7 years, travalign to cities I have never been to/travel within this city, goin to the coffee shop that I love and do homework and get tutoring for free.
I only have a limited time in this city and so I need to get my use out of that while I can. As for the language; I already have my BA and I will be in the country after summer as well. I have learned that tryign to learn Korean while not is Korea, really doesn't work out that well.
I know that it is okay to let my grades drop since the grades themselves don't really matter. But for my whole life I have worked incredibly hard to get the best grades that I can. I feel like I am going against my own nature.
I'm having fun. I'm learning the language. And if I don't get all of my homework down, so be it. Grades should not control my life.

Rick, I have watched as your blog entries have increasingly grown more riddled with Engrish. It's fascinating to watch the conversion of your entire language, as you start to *think* more and more in Korean :-p
God bless you, bro. We're glad to hear you're enjoying your explorations, not even bound to making the grade.
