Train rage and booty workouts

[Personal]

This week was hard and I'm going to rant.

Wednesday was my first day back in school. It was the class on scientific theory and everything about it just felt useless and boring. After 2.5 hours or not understanding anything that was being taught, I thought about leaving early to catch the early train and be home 1 hour earlier than usual. But I decided against it. I was going to be a good student and stay until class finished.

THAT WAS THE FIRST BIG MISTAKE OF THIS WEEK.

As I was on my way home, suddenly the train stopped and we were told to get outside because a cable fell down at another station and we could not go any farther. AHFWAJFJWALA I'm getting angry just typing this but hear me out. So they told us that some busses would come pick us up and take us to the next big station from where we could "probably take another train home." 

The busses were late and there was only one at the time. The driver was an absolute treasure, though. He greeted everyone enthusiastically. At least the weather was great.

I made it onto the first bus but when I got to the station, it'd still be another 30 min. until the next train home. Alright. I can wait. 

But wait! 

They cancelled the train!

Alright then. The next train was 1.5 hour later so "I'll call my brother and see if he feels like picking me up," I thought. He often drives to the other end of the country or even Germany so this shouldn't be a problem. But my brother didn't have his car home and couldn't find one to borrow. Instead, my mom and her boyfriend would come pick me up when my mom was done washing the floor... Alright.

So I'm waiting and I buy a milkshake because I hadn't had anything but 3 pieces of rye bread during class. I walk up to the screen with departures (because my phone was dying and I had nothing else to do while waiting) and guess what. Every. Single. Train going to my city had been cancelled.

BUT WAIT!

Now they announced that they would send busses to bring us home. "Great!" I thought. "I'll call my mom and cancel the ride home." I also thought. They shouldn't waste gas when I could take a bus.

THAT WAS THE SECOND BIG MISTAKE OF THE WEEK.

Not one but 3 busses arrive.

BuT wAIt!

They all go back the the first station that my train stopped at! And now we're a giant flock of confused people with no way to get home! Aaaaaaaa!!?

THEN a 4th bus shows up and THANKFULLY this one goes to my city... and every other tiny city on the wait.

When I finally arrived at my station I had been delayed 2.5 hours. TWO AND A HALF HOURS.

A TRIP THAT USUALLY TAKES 3 HOURS HAD NOW TAKEN ME 6.5(!!) HOURS!!!

I was BITTER and loudly proclaimed my hatred for public transportation. My mom's boyfriend had to go out and buy consolation chocolate and throw at me before I even remotely calmed down.

Thursday I also didn't go to school because *surprise* there were now barely any trains in my city because they all had been cancelled the day before. And apparently no one had thought about driving them to my part of the country during the night, after the problems had been fixed.

Of course they didn't update this information BEFORE I had woken up at 4.30 and biked down to the station and ACTUALLY GOTTEN ON A TRAIN. I could take another train and make a connection later but it would delay me at least 1 hour and, frankly, I didn't trust that things would run smoothly today after yesterday's events. I could take this train and make it to class but it'd take me 5 hours to get to school only to have class for 2 hours and then spend 4 hours going back home. If everything worked out, that is.

No thank you, I chose my bed.

But Thursday was the day of Korean class and with the finals getting near, I absolutely did not want to skip this since we were supposed to have a debate that day. Also, my attendance had already suffered (partly due to trains, partly because important reasons to miss class always would fall on a Thursday this semester).

So I came up with the idea to [video]call a classmate. I explained the train situation to my teacher, who allowed the call on the condition that I made a short summary on what we'd talked about during class. We ended up doing just a regular call through Facebook Messenger but it worked. After 3 hours of purely listening to Korean (something I find very hard because I can't see peoples' mouths or gestures), it was done. I'd managed.

Jasmin and I decided to ditch class Friday since we were going to do group work that has previously been criticized for not being useful. Friday is the only day that we don't actually HAVE to show up, so we didn't. Instead, we stayed home and were productive.

And I regret absolutely nothing because, in the afternoon, a friend of mine posted a status on Facebook, asking for ways to get home because *surprise* the trains had stopped once again.
The two friends I complained to won't even take my anger seriously but calls it 'cute.'
EXCUSE ME BUT I AM VERY ANGRY OVER HERE.

I'm so done with this semester.

Speaking of done, I checked my schedule this weekend and realized that I only have 10 days left of school!

This is now a countdown!

My weekend was spent trying to study and also procrastinating.

I'd actually felt pretty good the previous week. 

 If there was such a thing as fate, I'd accepted mine; that it in no way would be humanly possible to get any better at Korean than I am now in such a short period of time, and that it therefore would be no use stressing about it.

BUT THEN OUR TEACHER REMINDED US THAT WE HAVE TO DO ONE LAST PRESENTATION and she wants to talks to us TOMORROW about how we're going to do it and what we'll talk about. 

AND NOW I'M SUPER STRESSED AGAIN BECAUSE I HAVE SO MUCH OLD HOMEWORK TO CATCH UP ON AND BECAUSE THE ARTICLE I CHOSE TO PRESENT ABOUT HAS SOME WEIRD EXPRESSIONS.

Aaaaaa

The article I'm going to talk about is THIS one related to the ongoing Burning Sun scandal / Seungri Gate.

I want to leave this here in hopes of coming back to this post some day and think "Wow. I can't believe I found this hard once."

Anyways. I'm not chill at the moment and I haven't been all weekend. With the finals coming near, I feel like I need to study. But one can only stare at a foreign language for so long before they need a break. But I feel stressed when I take breaks and 'waste precious study time' so I'm trying to spend that time well.

This has led me, a quite lazy person, to now do booty workouts every time I need a break.

Not only am I butthurt because of the trains but now my butt actually physically hurts. Send help.

And with that, I want to end this post (because I should really stare some more at that article before going to sleep).

Let me introduce you to today's music of the day and then I'll be on my way~

Today's first song is a very emotional one by SHINee's Key that that means so much to me.

The second one was posted on the Instagram story of a model that I follow and it's super relaxing. The last one is one that I have enjoyed dancing and screaming along to when I needed to let loose and clear my head. Give them a listen~
