Out of the Dorm and into the Goshiwon

[Listening to Cake's Comfort Eagle album right now] ^_^

Sorry for my absence from the blog.

My semester at SKKU ended some weeks ago.
Since then I have moved out of the dorm and into a goshiwon near the Samsung campus at which I am an intern. The goshiwon (고시원) is basically exactly like my dorm room... except 80% smaller.


That's it. Bed. Desk. Shower. Storage. The picture above was taken with my 10mm Sigma from my door frame. These living conditions are in no way ideal, but the rent is relatively cheap, and I am only a 20-minute bus ride from work.

Mirror on my door.


So, yeah, I live in a box. Goshiwons are primarily used short-term by students preparing for a major test or international contract workers, again short-term. I was originally expecting a Samsung dorm, but was informed at an uncomfortably short notice that the dorms were no longer available. So, here I am. Life isn't bad... just cramped. :P

More updates soon. ~promise
