It was my friend’s birthday.
I bought a cute purse for her.
I have not been to friend's birthday party for years, so I had good time.
Throughout my school years, I could not visit friend's birthday party, not because I was not invited, but because I did not have any enough spare time to visit.
I know that it sounds sad and pathetic. However, to students in Korea, there are not any another options they could choose.
There are many other advantages to be born in Korea, but I am sure that this is not the perfect place for raising children with healthy mental condition.

My life plan
Plan your days (years) to achieve your goal. Set up your career goal first and then design your life (study) plan for the coming 2020, 2016 and this year.
I don't have definite goal yet. However, I have a few options I can choose from; professor, diplomat, judge. Actually there was also working in UN but I thought that the reason for wanting to work in UN is not appropriate to pursue so I erase it from my options. And I choose professor as my goal.
I have to live my days to the fullest extent of my power no matter what my goal will be which means that I have to be super diligent.
So this is my plan for my goal.
First, I will get a good grade and get more than 105 marks in TOEFL tests.
Next year, I will transfer to London University. Then stay there for about a year and experience and learn a lot of thing from that place.
If I stick to my plan and do not mess up, I will end up graduate in 2016.
The year I graduate I am planning to enroll graduate school. I am not sure whether this graduate school will be in Korea or other country. But, what I do know for sure is that I will graduate school after college.
After I finish graduate school, I will keep study to get a doctoral degree.
To become a professor, I have to have a doctoral degree to be professional or an expert. It is much better if I get doctoral degree from monde anglophone country because if I study there, I would be good at English and experience a variety of cultures while I stay there.
Then, I would probably take a doctorate in 2020, the year when I become 29 years old.
This plan might seem really simple and easy. However I know that it is going to be really struggling to follow my plan and achieve my goal. My goal is quiet hard to get because not only professor is the job in demand but also there are a lot of required conditions to become a professor.

Th story I was the only one who didn't know.
This is the song I have been listening for days.
정말 넌 다 잊었더라
반갑게 날 보는 너의 얼굴 보니
그제야 어렴풋이 아파오더라
새 살 차오르지 못한 상처가
눈물은 흐르질 않더라
이별이라 하는 게 대단치도 못해서
이렇게 보잘것없어서
좋은 이별이란 거, 결국 세상엔 없는 일이라는 걸
알았다면 그때 차라리 다 울어둘 걸
그때 이미 나라는 건 네겐 끝이었다는 건
나만 몰랐었던 이야기
사랑은 아니었더라
내 곁에 머물던 시간이었을 뿐
이제야 어렴풋이 알 것만 같아
왜 넌 미안했어야만 했는지
내가 너무 들떴었나 봐
떠나는 순간마저 기대를 했었다니
얼마나 우스웠던 거니
좋은 이별이란 거, 결국 세상엔 없는 일이라는 걸
알았다면 그때 차라리 다 울어둘 걸
그때 이미 나라는 건 네겐 끝이었다는 건
나만 몰랐었던 이야기
반갑게 날 보는 너의 얼굴 보니
그제야 어렴풋이 아파오더라
새 살 차오르지 못한 상처가
눈물은 흐르질 않더라
이별이라 하는 게 대단치도 못해서
이렇게 보잘것없어서
좋은 이별이란 거, 결국 세상엔 없는 일이라는 걸
알았다면 그때 차라리 다 울어둘 걸
그때 이미 나라는 건 네겐 끝이었다는 건
나만 몰랐었던 이야기
사랑은 아니었더라
내 곁에 머물던 시간이었을 뿐
이제야 어렴풋이 알 것만 같아
왜 넌 미안했어야만 했는지
내가 너무 들떴었나 봐
떠나는 순간마저 기대를 했었다니
얼마나 우스웠던 거니
좋은 이별이란 거, 결국 세상엔 없는 일이라는 걸
알았다면 그때 차라리 다 울어둘 걸
그때 이미 나라는 건 네겐 끝이었다는 건
나만 몰랐었던 이야기

Kim yu na ; Scheherazade
The song's name is Scheherazade.
Whenever I watch this video, my heart beats really fast.
Isn't she so beautiful. It is not because of her appearence but because of her effort.
I hope you feel the same.
What would I be after 10 years?
Until now I have no idea what I want to be. I thought about it for quite a long time but nothing come up to my head. Everybody must have gone through this period; agonizing about their uncertain future.
Right now I am lost. All I can do is just follow the curriculum which has been already set up for me. However this is not my college life I imagined. I hoped that I would have a certain goal and pursue that goal. So at this point I am disappointed at myself. I thought I would be certain about my future so that I don't have to go through this hard time. Some would say that this is nothing compare to other troubles I will face but not knowing I am going to be really scares me.
Whatever job I choose it has to be helpful to others directly or indirectly. I like to be a leader. I don't care whether I have too many works to do. I just need a vacation time to time. I think I am good at making a fair judgment because for my entire life I try to make a judgment I will never regret. My motto is live a life you will never regret. I am also good at being a fair person. whenever there is a fight between friends I regulate their problem.
Therefore,I consider a few options what I'm going to be after 10 years later; Professor, working in UN, diplomat, judge.
First, professor is the job I consider as the most desirable job. I love teaching and I think I am good at teaching. I have more fun with grown ups than kids so university is the right place. Also I always want to be a mentor to someone. I don't really have to be a professor to be a mentor but definitely professor is the job that I can be a mentor to somebody. Plus, whenever I take the test which suggests the appropriate job, the jobs recommended for me mostly include professor. In deep down, I admit that being a professor is the best candidate but I still want to look for other choices so that I don't have to regret.
Second, Working in UN looks cool. I know that this sounds like a stupid reason but I really think this job is awesome. Working for entire world is every kid's dream. I want to be a peron who can help others and working in UN is the good job to make it come true. I heard that I would have tons of work to do if I work there. But I don't care. I always have been good at dealing with a lot of work. The only problem of working in UN is that there is a possibility I might have to leave my country and work in foreign country.
Being a diplomat is appropriate for me because I am trying hard to be good at English so I will be good at it after 10 years. Moreover, I am good at adjusting conflict between two parties so being a diplomat is suitable job for me.
The last but not least is becoming a judge. My father wants me to become a judge because he hope I would follow him. He think that I am quite fair in making a decision and I agree with this idea. I always try to a decision I will not regret so decision has to be the best choice. Since I was young he told me to become a judge who speaks very good English.
