MIDTERMS & HALLOWEEN PREPARATIONS

So the midterm exams are full on and I already had one last week I studied a lot for. It was so different from Finnish university exams that I don't really know how it went. It had only very precise true/false statements and multiple choice questions. I still have two exams left, and one of them is after the actual midterm season. So still some studying to do! However, we have also been preparing for Halloween! A small group of us is going to a costume party on Saturday, so earlier this week we visited a party supply store where we bought supplies for our costumes :) The store was called Joy Party and it was at Gangnam-gu Office.



From there we walked towards Apgujeong where we (I mainly) admired all the luxury brand stores! I especially fell in love with how the Dior store looked like. I also found a Cos store that had a 50% off sale where I found a perfect basic top :)

 

On the way home on the subway we encountered an older Korean man who had a pet bird with him! We got to hold the bird, or my friend did since I'm kind of uncomfortable touching them. But it was so cute! After the subway ride the man put the bird into his little bag before going outside. What an endearing duo! :)

 

Otherwise this week has consisted of another hospital trip, since my flu/illness seems to be a very resilient type, and a lot of studying. We also studied at a cafe a couple of times to get some change of environment which was really nice. The cafes here are really cosy and a lot of students study in them.

 

It has also gradually started to get colder here, although it's still not very cold in Finnish standards. But especially today was a cold and rainy Sunday. We coped by taking a break from studying to take a walk around the Heukseok-area and also went to eat Jjimdak, one of my favorite foods here.
