and now its all over

so ive failed in trying to write in this thing more

i think my last post was just at the beginning of my break…and now my break is over

not that i start school

but i am returning to UVA about 13 days before it starts up again

why??

is it because i love uva and the spirit of academia that thrives within its walls?

no

in fact i really dont like uva

but nova is WAY too expensive to live in without parents

ive used up about 3x as much money as i would in charlottesville for the time ive been in nova

i cant do it

id rather be alone and saving money then around people and be using it like an NBA player

over the break ive stayed with my parents, at a friends place renting out a room, and by myself in charlottesville

i think of those three id have to choose by myself in charlottesville

not just because i get to save money

but also because ive realized that its been so long since ive lived in a place with someone working a 9-5

that ive become accustomed to basically doing whatever i want whenever i want

i appreciate my friend letting me stay here, but i live on a different schedule then them

i tend to sleep when they go to work and then wake up when they get back

2am lifetime sessions are a pain when i have to sneak out of the house

and it doesnt help that this friend has the LOUDEST STAIRS in the WORLD

and not just loud but repeatedly loud…i step once and it makes 6 sounds

at the same time my friend is too nice to tell me that i need to be quieter at night

i try my best but sometimes i bumped into a wall when everything is dark and i make a sound

life would be easier living alone

and im not used to this nothing-is-open 24hrs thing

i completely forgot that Harris Teeter and Krogers in Charlottesville are 24hrs because of the location

in nova things close AND IT FRUSTRATES ME

i wanna shop for food at 3am IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?!

overall ive spent lots of money, didnt get to meet up with all the people i wanted, and have tons of laundry to do

i call that a successful nova trip

time to get out of this financial black hole and return to college town

but first i will go to Hanaro and buy some stuff for jajangmyun, ddukbohgi, chapcheh, dehjee mohksahl, and some soondae

i know its a really random list but i dont know i just really want to eat all those things

dehjee mohksahl is the neck meat of a pig…i recently had the privilege of eating this after it was grilled on some applewood chips

MEAT WAS DANNNNKKKKK

it was so amazingly juicy and the fat was there but not in the way

O MAN SO GOOD

 

I do have another reason why im going back so early that goes beyond money

a great brother of mine (NATE HWOO PARK) contacted me about a job opening and said i should contact a dear sister of mine (DIANA KIM) to see if she could recommend me for the job.  Diana promptly sent in my resume with a recommendation and a couple of weeks later i got a call.  The man got my schedule down and told me he was going to put my paper work through to HR to schedule a formal interview.  He said it might take a little bit because of the holiday season.  I told him i would be back on the 8th and he said that would be fine because i probably wont get work back till after that.  This interview is for a spring internship at SNL financial in charlottesville.  It’s weird because the manager liked me because of my video production experience and not really for my econ degree.  I would be working in a new sector he wants to get started that does training videos and webinars.  Hopefully i can get the internship for the spring and get offered a full-time position at SNL after i graduate.  I can only hope right??  Lots of prayer is going into this because its such a real opportunity that i dont want to mess it up.  Only when i see hope do i drop God and start to just get sucked into the world, but not this time.  If i do get the job i will go and change my name to Chris Liu II and learn to play basketball a lot better so i can try to be the second chris liu.

man its 5am and im blogging while playing cityville, my life is full of excitement and wonder -_-

good morning world
