Dorm Life

I took the KTX to Dongdaegu station and I got picked up by a taxi driver holing a Daegu University sign.
He took me to the university which still took about 30 minutes from Dongdaegu station.
I got there and I was already surprised about how big the campus was.
When I got out I was greeted by a guy named Cheon.
I Think his full name was Cheon Taekyung or something but I can’t really remember because I was jetlagged and everything went so fast.
We went together to the reception and I met the security guy who is a really jolly happy go lucky guy.
I got room 1416 and they said I will be sharing the room with a Chinese girl.
But she wasn’t there.
He has to open the door manually because she wasn’t there and she was the only one who knew the password.
I dropped of my stuff and Cheon began the tour.

He took me to so many places.
Laundry, Cafeteria, Fitness Centre (WAIT WHAT?), Doctors post, more Cafeterias, Stationery shop and a lot more I can’t even remember.
After all the basic stuff he took me to Jongchan’s office.
And I got to meet the guy behind the Uhm’s and Yeah’s.
Of course it had to be a really good looking Bilingual guy who’s English sounds like it’s been taught by some university in the US.
Not to mention the office looked exactly similar to the teacher office of Korean high school dramas.

After that I was off into the campus alone and hoped I would still know the way back.
Which I did, eventually.
I made my way back and asked the security guy to open the door for me since my roommate was still away.
Me and the security guy went up and we heard from other girls that my roommate is actually in China right now.
LOL.
So the security guy reset the password and told me to tell my roommate the new password when she comes back.
The only thing I know about my roommate is : She’s Chinese and she likes kpop.
And there is a giant bag of nuts in our room so I reckon she really likes nuts.

After that I just went to sleep because I was awake for more than 24 hours.
So I quickly just unpacked my stuff.
I didn’t even bother to shower because I just wanted to sleep even though it was like 17:30
So I slept for a long time.

I woke up quite early on Saturday but I just went back to sleep until like 10:00.
I was still amazed that I’m basically living in Daegu now.
Due to jetlag I woke up many times during the night, but overall I feel very happy.
I prepared my backpack and got ready to go to the cafeteria.
I ordered one of my favorite dishes which is Kimchi jjigae (Kimchi stew)
First you have to purchase a ticket  through a mysterious ticket machine.
I swear I have never seen such a thing in a cafeteria before.
And you are supposed to give your ticket to one of the kitchen ajummas and they will prepare it for you.
Luckily the cafeteria food isn’t that expensive.
Because I was too tired and hungry I was not able to eat properly and I had trouble holding my chopsticks.

I found out how big the campus actually is.
I explored the campus for a bit and I’m kind of finding my way around now.
Without getting lost all that much.

Because I had literally nothing to do I went to Donseongro.
This is THE street to go to for shopping.
I katok’d my friend Junhwan and asked him when he is gonna play music again.
He said : Today! Please come, 5 o’clock!
This was another good reason to go to Daegu central.
Because I was at Daegu university I had to take a bus to Daegu station, which takes about 1 hour!
I went shopping at Daisoo (which is a Japanese chain store) for some school supplies and things I might need for my room.
After that I waited until 5 o’clock and I met my friend Junhwan.
He is in a group called Beagles and I met him last year when I saw him playing guitar on the street.

I was so surprised : When people were walking past me I could hear them talking:
‘’Wow, It’s Beagles!’’ and some girl even called her friends saying: ‘’Come quickly! Beagles are here!’’
I guess Beagles got much more famous since last year.
They played loads of new songs and many requests from the audience.
Jihoon didn’t have his usual instruments this time.
Instead he used buckets and other stuff to play his music which worked out fine!

At 7 o’clock I went back home and took the bus back.
Unfortunately I got out at the wrong stop : Daegu Catholic University.
On the sign it said I had to walk 5 stops and I thought : ‘’How long could that actually take?’’
It took one hour, walking, in the dark, alone.
But as always, I managed and didn’t even get lost.

On my way to the dorm :
I saw Pyeon, who is btw not named Cheon who just got back from the swimming pool.
I got mistaken for some random Korean girl. (See.. quarter Korean right there)
