D’autre part, du fait que j’ai travaillé beaucoup, je n’ai
pas profité de Séoul et de la Corée autant que je l’aurais voulu ou que
j’aurais dû. C’est peut-être la seule fois de ma vie que je suis en Corée et je
devrais en profiter plus que je le fais présentement spécialement avec le fait
que j’aime habiter dans ce genre de
ville.
Aussi, j’ai été davantage frappé par la barrière de la
langue, c’est vraiment plus difficile à passer par-dessus que je l’aurais
pensé, spécialement dans le réseau AIESEC. J’aurais pensé que la plupart des
gens pourraient communiquer aisément en anglais mais ce n’est pas toujours le
cas.
Bref, ce sont toutes des choses qui s’accumulent et qui font
que je suis frustré, démotivé et que je ne considère pas que je vis
présentement les meilleurs moments de ma vie, ce qui devrait être le cas, être
en Corée est un rêve que j’ai depuis quelques années.
Toutefois, il reste encore du temps et j’ai pris la décision
de changer de «mood » et d’attitude. Je veux profiter du temps qu’il me
reste et être efficace dans mon travail. Ouaip, c’est ma résolution d’ici la
fin de mon voyage…
*************************************************
So far in
February, it was a very frustrating month. First of all, I had in mind to work
hard and a lot to really advance in my project and do most of the work. For
working hard, I did but the results weren’t there so far. If I left today,
AIESEC Korea would not have anything regarding IT tool, I would not have brought
anything to them. But, I think there no other that me that want the success of
this project. So in that way, I feel right now that AIESEC Korea spend his
money on a CEEDer who don’t do the job. In my mind, I also feel that I spend my
money and that this work experience is not as valuable as it should be. If I
had decided to stay in Canada, I would have earned a LOT more money and would
possibly have a great work experience.
As I worked
a lot, I don’t feel that I enjoy Seoul as much as I would love to or as I should.
This might be my only time in Korea and I should enjoy it more than I do right
now. Especially because I enjoy to live in that kind of city.
Also, the
language barrier hit me hard; it was more difficult to get over than I
previously thought especially in the AIESEC network. I thought that I could
find a lot of people who would able to speak easily in English but it is not
always the case.
All those
things put together make that I frustrated, demotivated and I don’t feel that I live the best moment of
my life right now which would must be the case, being in Korea is a dream since
a couple of years.
BUT, there
is time and I decide to change my “mood” and my attitude. If I want to have the
greatest time of my life, it’s only up to me. I want to take the opportunity to
take advantage of the time it’s remained me and be efficient in my work. Yep,
this is my resolution until the end of my journey in Korea…
Heya Benoit!!!
