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 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!!

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.

It was difficult to stop thinking about some.. OMG! I cannot say anything more.

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.

나는 사실 - 우리 세대의 청년들이 대부분 그러하듯이 - 정치에 별로 관심이 없었다. 태어나서 처음으로 대통령선거를 했을 때에도 보수, 진보는 커녕, 후보들이 내세운 공약들조차도 모른 채 대선을 치뤘다. 입영을 미루고 있던 대학생이기 때문이었는지, 솔깃했던 軍 복무기간을 줄이겠다던 공약에 “나는 줄지도 않겠네, 뭐..”라고 친구들끼리 웃어넘기던 기억이 나의 첫 대선이었다. 외국에 나와있어서 귀찮다는 핑계로 소중한 국민의 한 표를 무효하게 한 사람으로 뭐라 할 만한 자격이 있는지 스스로도 약간은 찔리지만, 나의 두번째 대통령선거인 이번 17대 대선의 결과는 정치라고하면 딴 나라이야기로만 여기던 나에게 정치칼럼을 읽게하고 관심을 갖게하기에 충분했다.
