My last term as an undergraduate!!!
So it’s my last term as an undergraduate at Drexel University… It feels very weird.. This feeling I have right now reminds me of the various mission trips good-byes. I hated leaving the kids in Tennessee and Guatemala and I will miss life as an undergraduate. I just took my last Korean final. I only get to see the final examiner once a term because she’s the only one that does the oral final. Every time I walk in the final exam room I’m always nervous and I hated being in there, but today was different. After my exam, I felt lonely and I didn’t want to leave that room. I was in there after the exam was over and I just stared at the walls of the room. The map of Asia. The map that had “sea of Japan” written on it. That is completely wrong, by the way, so I had changed it to “East Sea.” That room was the place where I took Japanese 101 and 102. That room was the place where I’ve taken Korean 5 & 7. In the awkward silence after the exam, I said my final good-byes to that Korean examiner, Mrs. Kim. I thanked her for being the final examiner and bowed to her by the door and I slowly walked away. Walking by the places where I always passed by to go to class. The coffee maker where I would steal the coffee things and then instead of paying 0.75 cent, I would bring my own filter and brew free coffee’s for me. I will really miss this place. As week 10 has officially ended, I look back at all the week 10’s I have gone through in my 5 years in Drexel University…they all seem the same, but today as I end my last “week 10”… it seems so much different.
