My worst enemy ever: Studying on the vacation..(Travel Journal # 3)


I study at school, I do homework at home, and guess what? I HAVE TO STUDY IN THE VACATION!!!!!!!!
Do you know how that feels? It feels as if you been bit by a deadly mosquito that has a virus and you are actually suffering!!! It's such a pain.
I woke up by the sound of the buzzing in our apartment. The construction man was fixing our neighbors house. Mama, who was waiting for me to wake up, told me to read this very difficult korean book. I sighed... Knowing if I didn't finish this, sooner or later, I wouldn't be in the situation I would want to be in.
I sat on my blue arm chair, staring at the book hopeless. I forced myself to read at least one chapter of the book. I didn't get a single word. I know this is quite weird, but let me tell you something. Korean is hard. Normal hard, VERY hard indeed. Not only the words, but also the math is very advanced. VERY!!!
I finally finished reading. Phew... Then the next thing I realized was, there was a yellow post-it note on my desk saying: " Yeji, do you math and korean work book. When it is 3:00, I will see what you've done so far. At least finish one chapter" ( It was wroten in korean ofcourse)
I felt a not stuck in my throat. When I've thought of it, books, studies have never let go of my life. Not even in vacations. Imagining all my friends have no worries and having the marvelous time of their life, made me cry. I don't really like vacations that much. For me, it isn't any fun, but more work you have to go through.
I grib my pencil tight, the word repeats: " I am dead, I'm never going to surviv till the end"
Living as a Korean, might seem like nothing, but actually, it is as if you have to live with a big rock on your head.
