the first day of class

we were afraid of coming in late so we got there at a little past eight for a 9:00 am class. that's asma on the left and siege on the right.



we almost were late for class because we kept taking pictures of ourselves against various backdrops. here i try to pretend it's spring but it still feels chilly.



here siege is being his usual "silly" (asma's word) self, against a rather beautiful tree in front of the building where our classes are held, the institute for foreign language studies (IFLS). grabe talaga ang "othering" dito. which is why siege tries really hard to blend in. and he does. they always speak to him in korean, he soooo looks like a local.



more reasons why we're almost always late for class. kodakan galore, especially now that more and more trees are blooming every day. nothing special in this picture except that i look like an ass. not my best side.



the tree in front of our building, without any silly posing before or beside or under it. i think i botched this shot.



more pictures to follow. but i have to sleep now. gotta wake up early tomorrow to study for the weekly quiz. i could've done that instead of blogging but hey... you know how it is. diba janet?
