Seoul National University

So I’m finally here on exchange in South Korea at Seoul National University. It’s my first winter and the weather is freezing. My friend insists that it’s spring though; if so, I don’t know how long I’m gonna take to adjust to this kind of weather.

Posting after quite a long time because I haven’t started coding anything. Ever since I arrived I’ve been trying to settle immigration, administrative, financial and personal issues. Moreover, though school started a week ago, I haven’t had to do any work yet.

Most of the day my mind is preoccupied with thoughts on how to keep warm. I even had to google it; just doesn’t come naturally to someone who has been living in a tropical country all his life where the lowest temperature is 25 degree Celsius. Walking down the street, I have to clench my teeth to prevent audible chattering from shivering. I wonder if I’m doing something wrong. Anyway, weather is expected to only get warmer from now on so I’m hoping that happens soon.

Courses I’m taking here:
Database
Image Processing
Multi-core Computing
Programming Language

As I mentioned, there’s nothing much to post about so I’ll talk about one of the more interesting classes I’m taking here.
