3.T.O.P going to grad school next year? [NEWS]

 In 2008, T.O.P. enrolled at Dankook University with Theater and Film Studies as his major. He is now doing his 8th semester there, which means that he will be graduating in February 2012. According to the staff at the university, "T.O.P is currently seeking for advice about which graduate school to attend. If this plan pushes through, he will be a graduate school freshman next year."

On the 14th, photos of T.O.P having a meal at Dankook's University's cafeteria were posted on the internet. According to the staff, it seems that he was also looking for info about grad school that day.

5.Seeing T.O.P in school 14.11.11

 When I arrived at the canteen, T.O.P was halfway through his meal and many people have gathered around him. There were 8 people sitting at the same table - those sitting same row as him are his classmates, and the one sitting directly opposite him is his professor. (she didn’t have time to look clearly at the rest). He was very quiet while eating his meal, looking only at his food! When he was about to finish his food, he realized he still have 6 eggs and so he shared them with his professor and those who sat around him. They thanked him and he smiled shyly. 

After sharing the eggs, he continued to eat. By then, there were really a lot of people surrounding him and he started to sneak some glances at the people surrounding his table and it was very cute.

When he was done eating, he drank from his cup and chatted with the guys beside him, as well as the professor. The students started asking for handshakes when they see that he was probably done with his meal, and he shook hands with them warmly. His hands are really soft and makes one feel comfortable. When he met with students who didn’t release his hand after the handshake, he smiled like a child. 

Later, when security came to clear a path for him to leave, some student hit the table and spilled his drink and he jumped away immediately. The way he acted was very funny. However, the situation at that time was very chaotic. He wore blue canvas shoes, and the drink spilled on his pants instead of his shoes. So he walked to the area in the canteen which provides napkins (it’s not that the people around him don’t want to provide napkins, it’s because napkins are provided everywhere and thus Koreans seldom bring napkins out). Security helped him take the napkins and he wiped his pants with it. The security and student(s) asked if he’s alright and he replied it’s alright in an endearing tone. 

After that, with the security’s protection, he left the canteen. However, as there was really many people, they were unable to move forward. People then started to ask for photos with him and went ‘oppa I want a photo together too’. While taking photos with the students, he wasn’t annoyed and kept a smile on his face all the time. Seeing his skin, it felt as though he’s very tired and it’s worrying. Not to mention he is also very skinny. 

Half an hour later, with the security’s protection, he boarded the black nanny car and left the school

 To add on to the fan-account above, the fan had said in one of her replies that T.O.P was zoning out (like staring into space) at times while eating the food. This is the photo (below) that she’s referring to about T.O.P sneaking glances at the people around him. She also added that his complexion isn’t as good as before, but still as handsome.
