Hello fellow classmates, professor and possible internet strangers.
As you can see on the title this is supposed to be a self-introduction post, which I have no idea how to start or how to continue. So, for the sake of anonymity, know me as the Procrastinator.
Let me start this self-proclaimed self-intro from which point in life I am situated on currently. I am a freshman at a woman's university in South Korea but turning 22 this year in November. There were some complications in my life that had brought me this 3 year delay in entering a university, and unfortunately this is not the end. However, since I am very uneducated about the boundary of "too much information", I will not go further into my complications-to-be.
Anyway, one of the 3 years of delay was caused by my family and I leaving to a country called New Zealand in my 5th grade. Long story short, my father had a sabbatical year there, my mom and I liked the country, so us two stayed even after Father's sabbatical year was done. And of course, my father went back to Korea. However, after a while I realised how terrible I was in Korean in terms of writing, so after four years I decided to come back. Once back home, we were worried about my education, so instead of enrolling as a high school freshman, I enrolled in middle school third grade.
Next, my two years of delay was caused by me studying extra years after graduating high school to study the Korean SAT (is what I liked to call it). Those were some tough but worthwhile years.
Many people ask me if I regret coming back to Korea. And I would be lying if I said that I never regretted that choice. However, more often, I am glad that I came back here to find my true Korean colours. Or else, I think I would still be a kid in mind, just blindly following a path that I don't see. It's not that I'm all mature, already foreseeing a future that I want to lead; It's just that I like who I am becoming here, and enjoy just being able to see the next step I wish to take.
And that step is for me to read, write, experience and enjoy life. It sounds all blend and corny now that I have sugarcoated this post into some positive self-help kind of thing. Don't worry I have my dark sides. In fact, they are so pitch black that I'm practically bipolar. But as I mentioned before, I have no idea how personal this should be, so I will stop here. Just know that I am a girl who enjoys reading, writing, drawing, singing horribly, day dreaming, walking and being weird. I am always ready to meet new people and do strange things.
Nice to meet you and goodbye for now.
