Me, after finishing exactly one 5min task from my to do list: Ok fine, that was hard. Now I need to relax for 1h. Let's start by checking social media - the same thing I did right before tackling the 5min task.

Had a terrible work day, which resulted in me being an utterly unproductive mess since I finished work which I'm so going to regret tomorrow.

Wondering if our IT department is bored bc wtf did they do to our email adress names?! It's not only impractical and unnecessary but also downright wrong how it displays our company name now.

I feel like I studied more Korean this past week than in the last 3.5 years since I started combined. Not that I feel like I make a lot of progress, it's mostly drilling vocab into my brain, but it's definitely something.

I'm home and I'd like to thank the spiders for keeping my kitchen moth infestation at bay. In other words: on first glance, everything's ok, just had to vacuum and get some fresh air in. And I already have the first load of laundry in the washing machine.

My plane scheduled for 12.25 got delayed by half an hour yesterday. I barely managed to download #permission_to_dance_onstage_live literally finishing on the runway 30 seconds before takeoff. I was so glad this album kept me company on my flight back from SK 😭.

Started the day fighting with my hair and leaving way too late. Missed out on FESTA bc the queue was impossible. Was sad bc I was overlooked by the people distributing goodies.
And then I got OT7 - 7 as in incl. Yoongi - at Hobi's concert with Koo and Jin performing as well. Best night of my life.

I'm staying in an Airbnb with a family of four, which in some ways wasn't my best idea, but breakfast is included so I get delicious Korean homecooked meals - except for someone who doesn't normally eat breakfast and happens to be a white potato, stomaching this is a lot xD (so good though!)

Made it to the airport by taxi, whew. I'm so early, I have to wait hours for baggage drop off and that's freaking me out bc my bag is too heavy and I have too much stuff in general and I'm not sure they'll let me on the plane like this. Argh, once again too much stress for my liking.

Ah, yes, nothing goes over happily working away from SK and then finding an email that one of your team has decided to quit and will only be here until the end of July. Fantastic. She's only been with us for a year. Back to square 1, I love it.

I thinkbI'm so horribly horribly tired that I don't know how to stay awake bc I pretty much slept less than 5h a day for over a week. That's a level of exhaustion and sleepiness I can hardly fight. I wanted to stay up until 10 but I won't even be able to make it until 9 at that point.

Alrighty, it's time 🥳🥳🥳! I'm on the first (delayed) train to my parents', who'll bring me to the airport tomorrow, listening to DDay (and tearing up a lot bc I just arrived at Amygdala) and feeling so super exciteeeed (also dead).

Spending the last minutes in my flat for the next 13 weeks lying on the floor with a terrible headache and knowing full well that I have to repack everything again bc I have too much stuff.

The flat is clean and I am dead. Now I need to pack for real aka try to make everything fit. But first, a break.

I still have so much stuff to do, I'm considering not sleeping tonight ... but I'm also really really tired. But I only have until tomorrow evening. Ahhhhhhhh. Ok, I'll give me another 5min of rest and will then tackle the next part of the living room. I can do this.

Okay, went to get the last couple of things. I really hope I didn't forget anything ... in the (not quite up to date) packing list we trust.

I'm so overwhelmed and have no energy at all. So far, I only went through all of my clothes and put out the ones I could see taking with me but it's still going to be a lot of work of narrowing it down to what actually fits in my suitcase.

I'm still in bed. I have a shit ton to do before I leave for 13 weeks on Monday, but I'm still in bed. That's so frustratingly me.

It's my last day in the office until the end of July. It's so crazy and hasn't sunken in yet. Feel massively stressed out bc there are so many things I still need to do today. Help!

Future's gonna be ok, right? Because I was too exhausted after work to continue my SK prep. I just fell asleep.

I'm done with my hospital appointment before my original time slot. Well that's new and well deserved since I slept about 3h bc I was stressed out by the trains not runnimg today! Everything's fine so one thing less to worry about.

My mum just dropped me off back home and took away all of my plants except two which I will leave at work. This is getting real and I feel hopelessly overwhelmed.

Did I book anything for SK today? No, of course not. But I got tickets for Marc-Uwe Kling in October xD

Just finished another rewatch of The Hunger Games films. I have such an interesting relationship with this series. Didn't particularly like the books past 1, but wrote my, in my opinion, stellar bachelor's thesis on them, so I'll forever have a soft spot for them.
Also, the soundtrack slays.

I thiiink I finally figured out my travel plans until my fam arrives: Seoul to Cheongju, which will be my base to explore the surrounding cities and national parks, then Jeju. Maybe I manage to book something tomorrow so I can finally stop worrying about not knowing where to go.
