My Chuseok Holiday and University Entrance Exam Adventure
Hey everyone! I'm super excited to write my first ever daily diary entry.
This is basically a mishmash of my practical exam and my Chuseok holiday adventures...
Flew on a plane, zoom zoom! ✈️
The airplane seat was surprisingly comfy, I slept like a log!
Woke up with an imprint on my face, haha!
Anyway, after arriving in Seoul, I unpacked and did a bunch of stuff.
Then I went to Seokchon Lake and checked it out.
It was so freaking beautiful, seriously, everyone needs to go!
Listening to BTS's "Ma City" while walking around made me feel amazing! ^ㅁ^ I like the lake park better than the Han River, personally...
An unexpected encounter with some ducks.
I happened to stumble upon the Kim Heung-sou: Harmonism exhibition!
Quickly went to check it out!
"Life, where does it come from, where does it go...?"
Random person: "That's what I wonder...ㅜ"
Also, since it was Chuseok, there was a rabbit making rice cakes at Lotte Tower... so cute...
The next day, I just went to Dongmyo and Times Square.
But it was rainy and crowded, so it wasn't great ㅜ
The day after, I met up with a friend and had a really fulfilling day.
We debuted. (As in, we went for the first time somewhere new)
Went to a cat cafe.
Then, off to Yongin for the practical exam...
I went crazy for two days, re-memorizing the additional Q&A like a madman...
Ripping, rewriting, mumbling, ripping, rewriting, mumbling...
I was so out of my mind that I did something I'd never usually do:
Played the claw machine and won on my 4th try!
! And then came the day of reckoning, October 11th (Saturday)!
!Yongin University Practical Exam!
Afraid of being late, I took a taxi.
And the small talk started immediately...
But it turned out to be surprisingly helpful!
Taxi Driver: Are you a freshman in college?
Me: Nope, I'm here for the practical exam.
Driver: Something sports-related?!
Me: No, I'm in the film department!
Driver: Oh, when you go there, don't befriend the sports students. The martial arts guys are totally gangsters~ Drivers refuse to pick up from their dorms~ They beat people up in the taxi~
Me: OMG!
Sounds like a pretty rough school ㅜ
Anyway, I arrived!
The practical exam was super boring ㅜ
The odd-numbered people went first, and the even-numbered people went later,
And I'm not even exaggerating, the wait was almost an hour? Or longer...
We had to hand in our phones and listen to the instructions. Last year they gave us 20 minutes,
But this year they were only giving us 15 minutes!
But it didn't matter to me because it only takes me 3 minutes to analyze.
I wasn't nervous even when I finished analyzing and was moving to the next location,
But while I was waiting to explain my analysis,
The interviewer cut off the person three spots ahead of me,
And seemed a bit harsh with the other applicants,
So I suddenly got nervous ㅜㅡㅜ
But in my opinion, they were actually very kind.
They didn't ask any questions about my scenario analysis, so I guess I did a good job.
They immediately moved on to personal questions!
They asked me 6 questions...
Actually, I don't remember during the interview,
So they might have asked more questions.
I remember one more question each time the day passed, haha.
Anyway, at the end, while listening to my scenario, they seemed to think it was fresh or unique,
They asked, "Is it this? Is it this?" ㅋㅎㅋㅎ
So I said, "Yep ㅎㅎㅎ"
And they said, "Okay, that's all. Good work!"
They said it with a smile and very kindly,
So I think I did pretty well ㅎㅎ
It was supposed to be a 4-minute interview, but it felt like 7 minutes...
Please let me get in...
If I don't get accepted, I'm going to sob in front of the lecture hall ㅜ
Well, goodbye everyone~????
