The Game Night

dscn2160.jpg

We gathered at student union yesterday.

Not for protesting something but for enjoying our Game Night~~!!

It started from 6pm to almost 9pm. ALI students and several UT students played card games, Monopoly, Chess…

We could learn new things. and during the games we could share fun and laugh, also pizza and soda~(I was reminded about bad influence of those foods, but that couldn’t stop me^^)

And Beth and Alex were in there.

It  will be held on every wednesday, And I hope many ALI students join this funny Night.

If you rescue me..

When do you feel lonely?

Maybe when you are alone in house or nobody don’t help you when you need some help, you can feel lonely.

Actually, I like and hate loneness. sometimes that makes me crazy like want to die, and sometimes that helps me think.

But after day’s work when i have to go back home, i usually feel empty.

Like today rain falls, that makes me feel more gloomy. That drings me rememberance about Korean liquid(소주) and 떡볶이, 파전, 김치찌개(korean foods that are usually eatten with 소주).

In our country in front of the school, there are so many bars and restaurants which wait students.

So that makes people be drunken and lazy, of course that is not good at all.

But there are some romance like make person settle into natural moods, make noisy, do some dumb things, laugh and fight.

i don’t love these things too much, but now i missed this so much.

Actually after 30minutes i will go ‘Game night’ which is organized for us.

And I know it will be fun and i can be cheered up again, but if someone had said to me “Hey Let’s go somewhere to blow off this melancholy mood”, I would have been glad.

The science of sleep

If you rescue me

If you rescue me, I’ll be your friend forever
Let me in your bed, I’ll keep you warm in winter
All the kitties are playing and they’re having such fun
I wish that could happen to me
But if you rescue me, I’ll never have to be alone again.

Oh the cars drive so fast and the people are mean
And sometimes it’s hard to find food
Let me into your room, I’ll keep you warm and amused
All the things we can do in the rain

If you rescue me, I’ll be your friend forever
Let me in your bed, I’ll keep you warm in winter
Oh someday I know someone will look into my eyes and say,
“Hello, you’re my very special kitten”
So if you rescue me, I’ll never have to be alone again

In the Morning

Usually i get up early. but it is not common early, almost 3~4 am.

The reason why i get up so early is that i love the calmness of the dawn.(this is my plausible execuse)

and another important reason is i can’t bare not to sleep until late. (i sleep at 10pm, sometimes 9…)

My friends often make me fun as an old woman. But i still love my life pattern.

In the morning i do homework or read some books until 7 am

And after breakfast i go to Rec center for swimming.

i swim 3~4 times in a week. But thesedays i started worrying about my widen shoulders (i already have enough..)

but even then i have like that agony, that can’t interfere my fun.

In my country, i swim only in the summer.  because I felt i have no time to do that and shy.

But now i can swim almost,,three turns in the pool and i don’t become exhausted too soon.

Sometimes in the pool, i’m the only person except lifeguard. (Until now i couldn’t see they saved someone. That makes me feel that I need to sink into the water for them sometimes. they looks so bored)

Anyway, As my own pool I writhe myself to forward. And i dream to swim like dolphin in the morning.

Las Vegas

In the spring break i went to Las Vegas with my Buddy BoRam.

It was nice, especially the weather. but we exhausted by many amusements and sleepless nights.

What i was really surprised thing in Las Vegas is even in club, we could see so many old people(like grand fathers)

It was fun and i thought they also can enjoy their nights even they are not so young anymore.

And i gambled several times, first i won at double(BoRam won 5 times!!) but after that we lose again and again.

 By Jack LONDON

this is the book which i have read lately.

i just got a good feeling from his name. Jack LONDON.

when i just looked around the library, i picked up this book (actually i’m so bored thesedays)

and as i read, i was inclined to like his writing style.

i found some good expression until now like ‘pay heed’, or ‘vile hand’ ‘never having been conscious of himself’…

and i surprised about his journey to world even Korea and his political views

he was famous more than i had thought.

the character of this book is an sailor who couldn’t get any education and social manners.

he had scars on his face and hands. he spoke like a foriener  

and he fell in love with Ruth who so educated lady. from that time he started going to the library and hearing about social problems. he wanted to change himself for her.

i just read this until 78 pages. and it has still more.

i wonder how he will be changed, and whether the lady accept his mind or not.

in the real world, it would be hard. but i hope that.
