It's roughly been three months since I came to Korea. I'm horrified by the fact that writing in Korean is easier for me now. Thoughts are formulated in Korean first. I knew this would happen some day but I didn't think it would happen this fast. Every word, sentence, paragraph I write in English takes more effort than before. I'm worried that I may sound like a total FOB to others. My friends in Canada will begin to notice the difference. Ugh.
I guess it's time to hit the books again. Finish The House of Mirth. Work on my novel.
At this rate I'm not going to do well on LSAT.
I remember how it was in England. I didn't have a chance to speak Korean at all and my English profiency was at a pinnacle. Now things don't come as naturally to me.
It's times like this that remind me that I can perhaps never be fully Canadian. Sure I'm Canadian on the papers. I love the country. I love living there. But I don't look Canadian. My English is flawed. I spent three months on this subject in my SDS but I am still without an answer. I know the seminar wasn't suppose to provide one; it would've been easier though if it had.
