Korea life - 17 Oct 2014 (day 237 week 34)
Times past very fast where I have studied and stayed in Korea for 8 months now and currently I'm still studying at Sungkyunkwan university language department. For the past 8 months, times seem to been flying past so fast that I can't believe that I had stayed in Korea for 8 months already. Everyday attending to lesson and travel around Seoul when there is the chance.
Now I'm studying SKKU language department level 4 (they start with level 1 and goes up to level 6). My result has always been the average but still able to pass to the next level. However every since I had started level 4, my result started to fall. I started to not able to understand what is the teacher is teaching in class, I can't understand the question of my homework
I started to wonder. I kind of miss the old days where I have a 9-6pm job and I have salary coming into my account (for the past 8 month, I only have been drawing money out and not putting money in). One night, I asked my brother if is all right I quit the study here and come back home ? His answer actually shock me, "you spent so much money go over to study, why do you want to give up half way?"

Although his words shocked me, but it is also true that my level 4 mid term exam result is not very good, even teacher met up with me and said it's dangerous for me, if I have plans of going up to level 5. It won't be easy and this make me worry even more. For the past few days, I had been thinking what should I do? Should I just continue and risk there might be possibility that I would have to study level 4 one more time ? or withdraw out from level 5. I would have to decide fast if I want to withdraw anot, because if I really choose to withdraw, I have to do it 2 week before end of this school (or else they won't refund me 100%)
Finally I have decided that I will withdraw out from level 5. So one day after school, I headed up to SLI office and try to submit the document (they will need a printout of the bankbook and a withdrawer form [where you need to fill in the reason of withdrawer]). After I submitted the form, they told me that it will take them 1 to 3 week to get the money transfer to my account.

I felt relief after I stepped out of the office. It feels like I have put down the heavy stone that I had carry around my back for so long and I have finally relax for a while. Although I had submitted by withdraw form to the school, but I was not ready to leave korea yet. Let see if there is any way to find a job around so I can stay in Korea for a while more. But that I can worry later, because even though I just submitted the withdraw, I still can stay in Korea for a month due to my Singapore passport !! For now, no need to worry about visa issue but after one month, I will need to !!
