cogwheel

I have been living stupidly and was told.
우매하게 살아온 나에게 어떤 분은 말씀하셨어.

Do not even think about any other ways and keep to the right track. You will be a leader.
다른 곳은 쳐다보지도 말고 정도를 걸어. 넌 지도자감이야.

I must be being tested now.
나는 분명 지금 시험받고 있는거야.

I want to be a cogwheel somewhere really needed.
나도 어딘가 나를 필요로하는 곳에 톱니바퀴가 되고 싶어.

아… 힘겹다.

I’ve got to do..

I’ve got to got to do something.
I’ve got to study, make friends, speak to people, think about myself, and… lots of things.
Anyway, I’m going to Gent, Brussel, and Amsterdam next weekend.
First, I’ve got to enjoy going there.
Oh, I’m looking forward to it!

One more thing.. I’ve got to learn how to play a musical instrument!!
And this 10 year old Korean boy makes me want to learn how to play the guitar!!

an unsual day

I woke up so early yesterday morning. The outside was still dark and I looked at my alarm clock. It was 4am but I wasn’t tired but really thirsty so I went downstairs to get some water. I drank cold water from the fridge and took the bottle to my bedroom. When I went back to my bedroom I was totally awake and thought it was just an unusual start of a day. However, unfortunately, it wasn’t. I felt that something is happening in my mind and I knew it was going wrong. I felt the day was really long and I couldn’t concentrate on anything. It was difficult to stop thinking about some.. OMG! I cannot say anything more.

인문학과 자연과학이 만나다 - 대담

지인이 재미있다며 건네준 토론집인데, 받고나서 두어달은 책꽂이에 꽂혀있다가, 읽기 시작했을 때는(물론 나는 책을 읽는 속도가 아주 느리기 때문에 하루이틀만에 다 읽지는 못했지만) 재미있게 읽어내려갔다. 나는 스스로를 과학적인 마인드를 가진 사람이라고 생각해왔고, 요즘에는 인문학에도 관심이 생겨서 책장을 넘기면서 다음 내용이 궁금할 만큼 재미있었다. 역시 지성들의 이야기는 절로 귀 기울이게 되는 것 같다.

University College London

* I was near Euston station because I had something to do there and I met my friend who studies at UCL for his master degree. He showed me around the college and I am using the internet in UCL.

Although I am not sure it was last year or the year before the last year, I remember I was here once. I was walking around the campus(in contrast to many universities in Korea, the fences which divide the campus and the town do not exist in most colleges in London) and there were few people in the campus and it was very calm because it was just after the term but the atmosphere is completely different today.
