Relay Writing - Facebook Update

 Seoyeon SUMMER Kim
Finally. Finally, I have graduated high school. Finally, I don't have to get up at 6 and go to morning exercises. Finally, I don't have to wear that long, uncomfortable Hanbok. Finally, I can order chicken whenever I want and drink cold sodas. I don't have to be edgy on every Monday because of the cleaning checkup. I don't have to walk around the huge school with my sore ankles. I can use my room alone and have peace and quietness. I can also avoid people that make me feel awkward and mad. I'm so happy that now I can end all these meaningless relationships. Finally, I can enjoy my life better.
Reading back I made KMLA life seem all terrible, but there were some great parts about it, too. I'll miss all the teachers (actually not "all" maybe..), the unique education of KMLA, my room in the dormitory, the ramen I ate with my roommates and classmates, and most of all, friends, especially my classmates I've met during the 3 years, ...... Still, I'm HAPPY!!!!!
I NOW FOUND MY LIFE BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations! I know how much you hated your time in KMLA and now you can finally escape it. ;p I haven't heard much about your post-graduation plans. What are you going to do now? What schools did you get into? I know you probably got into one of the top schools but I am still curious. We might be going to schools in the same region!

I actually got regular Harvard! I can't wait to go and meet other people. I guess I'll enter some city orchestra because I really miss my KMLA Orchestra- oh the memories! I also plan to buy an airplane so I can travel around the world in my gap year. My family opened a lobster restaurant next to our pharmacy, so I'll buy you one whenever you come over. :) See you in America! Maybe we'll go to a pub to drink. Or you can visit my penthouse anytime, just so we can chat together and see the beautiful views.
┗ Jihyun Jeon
Great! However, I'm not sure whether I will have time to do so. I have a year full of schedule, to meet with presidents all around the world. They will take me to the greatest restaurant in their country and I will have a great career. I'm not sure whether I'll like your lobster or not... Sorry about that.
┗ Seoyeon SUMMER Kim
Ouch, that hurts... Forget the lobster then. But you should STILL come to the 22nd waver international alumni trip! Don't forget that we booked the plane ticket for May 1st, Incheon Airport. Europe here we go! You gotta see enough of Europe before getting stuck in Harvard, dude.

*Special thanks to Jihyun, Yeongheon, Minji, and Hajin.

Meeting the Real Me (ear plugs)

At first, it came as a free gift from an online shopping mall. Thinking that the pair of earplug would surely come in handy, I kept them in my backpack for sometime in the future. Then, there came a day when this pair of squishy little rubber came to my attention. My sensitive nature sometimes gives me a hard time when my roommate’s working on her homework late at night. At times, I wished I had a roommate who shares the same life pattern as mine, but it was just a dream far away. When, again, she was working on her science device late at night, and I was in the most desperate need of sleep. I remembered the existence of these earplugs. I rummaged through my backpack and took them out, and stuck them in my ears. The sensitivity to noise magically disappeared, and I happily fell asleep. Shutting ears to the negative comments and opinions. Our physiological nature forbids such an amazing feature. Often, I envy those who claim to have selective hearing. When asked what superpower...

Little Big Moment

DAY 1 Taking off at Seoul City Hall Station, a busybody of people were all moving toward 12 different exits of the stations. I felt as if I were the only stranger to this subway station, standing before a big map showing the vicinity of the station and figuring out as to which one of the exits was leading up to Deoksugung Daehanmun gate. At the end of the painstaking effort, I found the exit. A big crowd of protesters was circling a stage with a huge screen filling up the background; I knew I found the right place. Taking out my camera, I started shooting photos. A fair-haired lady in her 40s stood next to me and whispered, “you should probably take that thing off if you don’t want to find trouble here.’’ Only then I realized she was referring to the yellow ribbon badge clipped on my backpack: the ribbon symbolizing the support for the victims and their families of Sewol Ferry Disaster. Quickly, I removed the badge and hid it in my pocket. Half an hour later, when one of the pro...

Review1 'Black Mirror' Season 4 Episode 2: Arkangel

Black Mirror Season 4 Episode 2: Arkangel review : The two faces of parental love by Summer Rating: ♥♥♥♡♡ THIS REVIEW IS WRITTEN FOR ONES WHO HAVE ALREADY WATCHED THE EPISODE Arkangel , a chip technology implanted in children's head allows parents to monitor what their kids see, track their location, and vivify the cause for the children's stress. At first, the technology seems to protect Sarah but it grew to be a problem so Marie--Sarah's mom--stopped using it. As Sarah enters adolescence, Maries feels the need for Arkangel once again, thus changing the mother-daughter relationship dramatically.  The implantable chip is a technology not of distant future. Monitoring every single thing that a child sees may not be possible; however, tracking them by GPS is already commercialized. Therefore, 'black mirror' is raising awareness about the new possibility and its byproducts. Some say that such a technology is meant to protect children who must be gu...
