Since I’ve been so absorbed in Hangugeo and Nihongo, I’m now a bit worried about my English. Once, I even forgot how to spell “dream”. That’s why I decided to write this in full English.
I’d like to share my experience that I’ve managed to be my teacher -- applying the proverb I read in Sidu notebook: "Experience is the best teacher"
1. Dry Monday
Monday, October 5, 2009 was a rough day for me. My boarding house ran out of water. Yup, it just stopped flowing. The thing I always take for granted was now nowhere to find. Turns out that I could do nothing without it. I couldn’t bathe, therefore I didn’t go to college. I couldn't cook rice and I could neither wash dishes nor wash my hands. That’s not all. Due to the absence of water to do cleaning after pee, I have to limit my amount of drinking. Or else, I’d have to frequently run to gas station just to pee.
When I told my mother about this, she became so anxious that she couldn’t leave me and Utin alone. She kept texting and calling us to ask how it’s going. In fact, this water-problem became her nightmare.
Well, thank goodness I have my friends. Every time I asked, they always welcome me to shower in their staying places. I took my evening bath in Dena’s boarding house, and I showered in Ike’s dorm the next morning. Fortunately, when I got home from college, the water-problem was already solved.
Moral: You never miss the water until it’s gone.
