So I finally met another person from my language exchange web site I have been trying to meet for a couple weeks now. I went to see him play a mini concert along with some other acts at a small playhouse. The venue was really cool! There were sticky note messages all over the walls and little hanging lights on fake trees that were kind of mostly twisted branches. My friend's songs were by far the best of what I saw (I came late because I got out of work half an hour after it started), along with a band that was really cute. One song he did was a rendition of "What's Up" by the 4 Non-Blondes (him on the African drum and a friend on guitar)... with a small part of an opera song interjected in the middle. It sounds wacky, especially for a guy cus the song is so high and the opera was even higher but he totally rocked it. Met his roommate (a foreigner!) and went out to eat at a bakery and have awesome talks. He learned English in only a year and a half in Canada! He actually taught at an English school and that's how he knew his roommate! It's so amazing how some people can speak so well in such a short time and others can be learning a language for years and never quite grasp it.
So tonight gave me inspiration and motivation to play a show, or a few shows (one of main Korea goals), and to study hard to learn Korean (another main goal for Korea)! I can do it!
School is kinda... frustrating me at the moment. The schedule seems to just get worse. I don't even want to get into it... ugh. So I just gotta make the most of the time away from school and not get sucked into being tired and coming straight home all the time.
Gotta live! Gotta have fun! Even if I kill myself doing it! (she says blogging and playing mandolin at 1 am with work at 9:30 the next day).
Haha. Ah Korea...
