Wow. What a pleasant surprise. I was exhausted these past few days with school for many reasons, and the school environment was really hard on me both physically and mentally, making me suffer partial insomnia, but then my renown (and very intimidating) professor invited me to dinner and everything changed. Now, the thing about my professor is that he’s constantly pushing me to work harder....

Dear World Politics students, Please don’t come running to me asking for your midterm exam scores. I don’t carry them with me nor do I have all your faces, names and grades memorized. E-mail me just as the professor told you to. That is your responsibility as a graduate student. Thank you.

5 intense courses of school work in my graduate program and immense amount of research work (amongst other things) makes me want to hide & forget everything so I take a 3-hour trip out of Seoul to 강릉 beach & have a good cup of coffee & it makes me feel so much better…^^

역시.. 박사학생들은 다르다.. 내가 무슨 자격으로 이 박사수업을 듣고있는건가… 내가 우수한 학생이라고 교수님이 추천해주신건데 너무 어렵고 힘들다…

많이 바라는게 아니였는데.. 그냥 내가 힘들때 조금이라도 위로해주길.. “괜찮아, 다 잘 해결 될거야” 이 한마디만 바라는데 왜 그걸 못할까.. 힘든상태에 더 힘들게하구나..  싸워도 그걸 이겨낼수있다고 생각했는데..  아.. 당분간 시간이 좀 필요하구나

Speaking and presenting on the abstract IR theory of ‘New’ Multilateralism (and the effects of ‘Bottom-Up’ and ‘Top-Down’ approaches to multilateralism) to Ph.D students for over an hour is terrifying.

Happy White Day! Even though I’ve been ridiculously busy (and stressed) with tons of work from school, I took a (half-day) break for White Day! We ate at House of the Purple The interior of the restaurant is really nice & sat on the white sofa ate some delicious bread, a caesar salad, rose crab pasta, and lamb and then I got my candy & chocolate yummy

It’s only been one week since school started, but it feels like it’s been over a month. There’s been so much work within such a short period of time to the point where sleep seems like a waste of time.. But I’m loving every minute of it. I love the feeling of being busy. I love the fact that I’ve spent every lunch eating with professors, studying actively both in and...

I definitely learned a lot through both intellectual and personal aspects through the courses I took during this semester growing as a person. I had the opportunity to meet some amazing people, many of which I...
