Vote!

It is November and this year almost reached the end. There are several things you can see in the end of a year in campus. One of them is balloting.
Everywhere in the campus, it is easy to see candidates for the representatives of students and their fellows ask students to cast votes for them. Some of them wants to be the representatives in their departments and some wants to represent their college. They also put their photos on the walls and boards with their profile the promises for the next two semesters. Sometimes, they intrude classrooms before the class starts and promote their idea passionately.
People who are working hard are beautiful. If they don't play a fair game, however, they don't deserve to be praised. Lately, there was a heated discussion of the qualification of the candidate for the chief of the students' association. He was not eligible for the candidate because he was not registered in the university this semester. To make him as a candidate, the chief of election administration, who is the current chief of the students' association, changed regulation five days before candidates registration. After that was known to students, they were blame for trying to maintain their authority. The previous candidate resigned now and there is no one who registered as a candidate.
I don't know how it is going to be later and what is going to go on.
Even though I am going to graduate after this winter, I have a right for voting. I will have a look on the situation and make a right decision for my junior students.

Class Outing

Last Saturday was the outing day of Ryan's Advanced English Conversation Class.
We went to Children's Park. This was not a place I voted, when we voted to decide a place. So, I didn't expect that I would have a lot fun here. As I enter this park, however, my mind has changed. Fresh air made from nature refreshed me. Since I took the teacher appointment test, I have met many friends and got drunk, but have never enjoyed something in nature.
We took a walk to a lakeside and had a lunch there. After we finished our lunch, we were divided into two groups. My group rode a bumper car and a roller coaster. I enjoyed riding a bumper car, but while the others riding roller coaster, I took pictures of them.
After about an hour, we got together, took group pictures, and went home.
Not as I expected, this place was really good for me to refresh. I may visit this place again with my friends in the near future.


Someone was late.

I looked like a beginner driver

Plan B

Sometimes, when they plan something, people set a plan B, which means the secondary plan in case of failure of the primary plan.
Plan B helps people to be relieved because they think that they have another chance even if they fail. However, it, sometimes, deprive them of the opportunities to concentrate on the primary plan. If their will is not strong enough, they will easily give up because they have alternatives.
Even so, having a plan B is important for positive mind.
The worst situation is that they don't know whether it's time for plan B or not. People really get confused and stressed when they don't know what to do.

The Cribs was in Korea


The Cribs, one of my favorite British rock band, visited Korea to attend Grand Mint Festival about ten days ago. The festival was held in Seoul, and I wasn't able to go because I was busy studying recently. If I have been there, people would have told me that I was crazy. I could be crazy, but I chose not to be.
Anyway, it is really bad timing for me that they came just 2 weeks before the teacher appointment test. It was their first visit to Korea, and it was also the first visit of Johnny Marr, the legendary guitarist who used to play in The Smiths, Modest Mouse, etc.
I was a bit depressed that I missed a chance to see them playing. But I know that there's priority in one's life. Someday, I will be able to see them in other places unless they don't break up like Oasis. At the moment, focusing on the test is my No.1 priority.
