Happening 06/13/07

1. Today was the first day of my internship at Korea Times. I will be writing a 700-800 word short article for the student column section. So today I spent most of my time going through the old newspapers to see what other people wrote for the column and brainstorming the issues I would like to write about. I am not totally comfortable with the work environment, not just because it is my first day but also because out of four, I am the only intern who is not a college student, but I will find a way to deal with it. Everybody was very kind though, and we get free tickets for lunch at a nearby place where many people from different companies come to eat. The food was actually pretty good, especially compared to dorm food I am used to.

2. And yes, I am skipping dinner, for I go to sleep pretty early compared to what I am used to. I go to sleep at least before midnight, usually around eleven, so that I can wake up early the next day instead of sleeping in till ten. I am trying miserably to avoid the temptation of various icecream stores, especially Hagen Daz which is only about 5-7 minute walk from my apartment and which I always pass by on my way to the subway station. Anyway, I am still happy because I will be meeting my friend Mirae, whom I didn't see for a year, to have a nice meal and maybe watch a movie or go shopping.

3. I am so tired! It's only my third day and I hardly have jet lags, but still working for eight hours suddenly is very tiring, even if you enjoy it. I do have some pictures enough to make at least couple posts but I am too tired to connect my camera and go through bunch of pictures not yet labeled with proper names but sneaky numbers. Well, gdnite.
