[프로젝트/영어일기] 6월 영어일기 쓰기 프로젝트

6/7(1일차)

Yoonji and I have made the decision to begin writing a diary in English.
Having a friend who shares the same goal is beneficial.
We have established a rule to write five sentences or more.
I am hopeful that my English will improve significantly.
Do you think this will aid in enhancing my English skills?
Oh, constructing interrogative sentences can be challenging.
Let's give it a try!

 

6/8(2일차)

Today, I spent some time searching for a flight to Barcelona.

Although I was trying not to get too caught up in wedding preparations, I happened to come across a fantastic discount event offered by 국민카드.

It turns out that if I purchase a flight ticket using 국민카드, I can save 80,000 won.

 

6/9(3일차)

I have an appointment today.
I'm going to meet my mom after tennis.
It's wonderful to have my mom close by.
I'm applying a mud skin pack.
It helps remove excess oil from my skin.
I can get rid of the oil by using the mud pack.
Last night, I accidentally bumped my glasses with my elbow and broke them.
I was too frustrated to fix them in the middle of the night, so I waited until today to repair them.

 

6/10(4일차)

I need to write because tomorrow I'm going to hang out with my friends in Jeonju. 

We're planning to have mixed rice and ribs, but I'm worried about the weather forecast. 

It says there's a possibility of rain. I don't know why, but I'm feeling a little nervous. 

I can't figure out the source of this discomfort before I fall asleep. 

It's puzzling me, and I have no idea why I feel this way.

 

6/11(5일차)

I have been to Jeonju for the last two days.

I had been there in 2015, so it has been 8 years. I was 23 back then, and it feels like a dream.

I no longer meet the friend I had visited Jeonju with. This time, I visited there with other people.

At that time, I was a university student, and now I'm a worker.

I am amazed at how much things have changed.

(I can't believe I wrote only 8 sentences, and now it's 9 sentences! Haha)

Contrary to concerns, the weather was good.

 

6/12(6일차)

I had a somewhat strange experience today. 
I read a novel titled 'I Want What is Forbidden to Me.' 
In that novel, George Winston, who is a musician, is frequently mentioned. 
So, I wanted to try his music and searched for his name on Google. 
And I discovered that he passed away only a couple of days ago. 
He died on June 12, 2023. 
Without any particular reason, I had assumed he was a very elderly jazz musician. 
But he was actually born in 1949 and was known as a new-age musician. 
Is there a jazz musician whose name is similar to George Winston's? 
Anyway, I'm now listening to his music, and I feel great as well as sorry for his loss. 
May he rest in peace.

 

6/13(7일차)

Today, I'm not feeling well. I've had a sore throat since yesterday's class. 

When I woke up this morning, I felt discomfort in my throat.

So, I took a self-COVID test, and it came back negative.

I didn't really expect it to be positive since I'm generally healthy, haha.

I'm not sure if this gloomy feeling is due to my health condition or my state of mind.

With it being summer, I've lost my appetite. I only crave liquids or fruits and not hot foods.

These days, I'm not just losing weight, but also feeling weak. I need to get my life back on track.

 

6/14  코로나로 너무 아파서 못 씀.

 

6/15(8일차)

I have a really, really bad sore throat today. I can't speak a single word. Now I can understand the symptoms people talk about when it comes to the COVID virus.

Yesterday, my dad told me that he was feeling extremely dizzy, to the point where he couldn't work properly.

 A passerby noticed his condition and asked if he had been drinking during the day. 

Additionally, my dad mentioned feeling a leaning sensation towards the left. 

Concerned, he went to see a doctor and underwent an MRI scan. 

The results showed that his brain vessels have narrowed. 

Today, he is scheduled for an angiography procedure, during which the doctor will determine whether medication or surgery is the best course of action.

I hope he will recover soon. Despite being obese, he has always been dedicated to exercising regularly and maintaining a healthy diet. I feel sorry for him, and I pray for his well-being. May God bless him.

 

6/16(9일차)

I don't feel well, but I have to write this. I want to be a free man without any barriers, especially the language barrier. 

In order to achieve that, I must speak English fluently. Currently, I'm facing numerous obstacles in my life, such as a weak mindset, lack of physical strength, and a gloomy state of mind. 

However, I am determined to overcome these challenges and become the best version of myself.

Lately, I have been feeling incredibly grateful for my family. 

My mom has been putting in immense effort to support me, and I deeply appreciate her dedication. 

Additionally, my brother has been devoted to addressing our family's health issues. 

I truly feel blessed to have such amazing family members.

 

6/17(10일차)

The only things I'm doing today are sleeping, eating, and watching Netflix. What a great vacation! 

I still have a slight fever and a stuffy nose, but it has gotten better. 

I had Wando abalone today. I keep mistakenly saying 'Jeondo wambok' instead of 'Wando jeonbok.' 

I might never pronounce that word correctly. Haha! 

Thanks to my family and colleagues, I was able to focus on my recovery.

 

6/18(11일차)

I washed my hair finally.
But I can't shower right now. I might get sick after the shower.

The quarantine date is changed from 7 days to 5 days recommendation.

Why did they shorten the quarantine date? It seems unfair to shorten the duration just because the overall number of confirmed cases has decreased, even though the symptoms and suffering caused by COVID-19 remain the same.

What a disaster for all Korean small company workers.

 

6/19(12일차)

I woke up around 6:20ish and then fell back asleep. Eventually, I woke up again at around 8:20ish. 

I believe it's because of the hot weather. It has been scorching since dawn.

From now on, my goal is to get my life back on track, specifically in terms of my health. 

I will make sure to eat regularly, keep my living space clean, and leave work on time.

Although there are many things to do, I will tackle them step by step.

Yes, I can do it! I have the capability. I got this!

During the night, I wanted to open the windows for ventilation, but I'm concerned about bugs, especially cockroaches.

 

6/20(13일차)

Last night, I was tired after work but couldn't sleep. I stayed awake until 1:30 am, binge-watching YouTube shorts repeatedly. I tried to meditate, but it was of no use.

One of my student's moms expressed concern about my health and offered kind words.

It means a lot to me, and I truly appreciate her.

I have been taking a happiness course recently. It's already the third course. 

Does this class truly bring me happiness? I'm not sure, but I think it's better than not doing anything.

 

6/21(14일차)

Since Monday, I am busy doing phone calls. 
I had been on sick leave, so I have many phone calls to catch up.
On Monday I made 8 calls, on Tuesday I made 11 calls, today I have made 13 calls so far. 
I have one more hour to spare. How many calls can I make? This is a personal victory. 

However, I still have 30 calls left to make. Haha, I did my best.
I'm going to take three hours off today as I'm not feeling well again.

 

6/22(15일차)

I'm really frustrated because I don't feel well. I want to cry. 

Should I go play tennis tomorrow or not? What a question. 

Mosquito season is back. 

If I were a scientist or something, I would eradicate mosquitoes first and potentially receive the Nobel Peace Prize.

 

6/23(16일차)

Today is Victory Day. I made 17 calls and attended 4 classes. Unfortunately, two students want to quit, and I have 4 calls remaining. 
On a positive note, I feel better today. I had been experiencing headaches, but now I am okay.

Tomorrow, I am planning to have beef with my father at 남산식육식당, which is famous for its affordable prices and good quality beef. There are always many people there.

 

6/24(17일차)

I'm going home to have lunch, and I'm looking forward to having 몸보신.

I watched 원지 yesterday. It was a story of immigration to the USA, and there were a lot of obstacles to living in the USA. It literally gave me a headache.

I sneezed repeatedly on the bus, so I feel guilty.

 

6/25(18일차)

My dad made breakfast for me, and then he drove me to my new home in Daegu.

I had a tour of the house, which is an apartment located in the Yulha area.

The current price of the apartment is relatively affordable compared to the Jungsan area.

I really like the house, but if I decide to live there, I'll need to buy a car, which will present a new challenge for me.

After the house tour, I went to Seomoon Market to buy a Hanbok.

My mother-in-law gifted me a Hanbok for my wedding, and I specifically ordered a white top and a pastel violet skirt.

 

6/26(19일차)

My coworkers don't drink soda.

Whenever they order food and receive a complimentary soda, they kindly give it to me. Currently, I have two bottles of cola and one bottle of cider.

One of my colleagues will be leaving soon due to their upcoming marriage, and another colleague will be taking a break due to a health condition. 

I'm feeling a bit worried about the next semester and experiencing some stress.

With the weather getting hotter these days, I'm really longing to move into a new apartment that has fresh windowsills and excellent ventilation

 

6/27(20일차)

I had lunch with my coworker. She is a really dedicated person. 

She provided me with a lot of assistance when I was out sick due to COVID. 

So, as a way of expressing my gratitude, I treated her to lunch. 

I had Mandu Shabu-Shabu, and it was delicious.

I strive to gain experience in speaking and writing English, but I failed because my goal is ambitious and it takes time to improve my English. 

I believe it's important to have determination and keep pushing forward. 

Therefore, making an appointment to write an English diary has been helpful. It's the most valuable thing I have done this year.

 

6/28(21일차)

I woke up around 9:30 and stretched my neck area because of my wedding photo shoot. 

Then I washed the dishes, which made me feel refreshed. 

After that, I vacuumed and noticed there were so many hairs. 

Following the vacuuming, I played tennis, but my ball kept hitting the net. 

Finally, I got to work and vacuumed again. 

The office wasn't clean enough, so I had to clean it myself. 

There was a lot of gray dust. I did so many things in the morning that I feel a little exhausted. 

What should I do next?

 

6/29(22일차)

This is the first day of my period.
I took some medicine immediately, so I feel well.
I went to the clinic and had laser hair removal done on my armpits.
I bought a wearable period pad. It was expensive, but I'm going to wear it tonight and I'm looking forward to it.
I'm grateful that I received a card from one of my students.

 

6/30(23일차)

I believe it is important to experience occasional moments of happiness in order to live a fulfilling life.

Throughout our lives, we encounter numerous obstacles and face suffering that cannot be avoided.

However, we can choose to confront them directly and fully experience them.

Yesterday, while listening to 'Top of the World' by the Carpenters, I heard raindrops.

At that moment, I felt a profound sense of pure happiness.
