I really like to try new things, which I hadn't known for years. Since I got married I got interested in gardening. Hum, I'd rather say it planting as I actually don't have a fancy garden but a narrow balcony.
Planting is easy but the plants hardly grows as well as I want. Moreover, some plants easily dies and don't survive during the winter. After all the disappointments, I have little desire left for planting in this spring.
Then, it came to me, "Quilting". As soon as I saw my co-worker doing it, I felt it would be much interesting and helpful to wait my baby to come out.(When I'm pregnent.) This Tuesday I'm going to start my very first quilting. I'm so exctied. And then, I've decided to make big size cushions for our living room. If I had a sewing machine, making cushions would not be a big deal. However, I don't want to take a risk. I'd like to test my sewing aptitude first. If I do it well and can make more things, I will buy a machine. I'll deserve it, won't I? :)
1. 2 Big size cushions
We don't have a safa. I want to have one but I don't want to buy some cheap unattractive sofa which I have to buy to fit in the present house. When I have my own house which have enough space of living room, I will buy a comfortable fancy sofa. Anyway, I've always looked for big size cushions instead. However, I couldn't accept the unbelievably high price. I once make a small size cushion when I was 15. So making cushion is not a big deal for me. Just what I'm worried is that I'm going to put zippers on it this time.
I will put those cushions in the living room and lean on them when we watch moives or read books.
I'm so excited!
2. The blanket for my baby
This is going to be a big deal. I'm not sure if I can make it. But it will be much easier after I finish making cushions. I will make a quilted blanket. Isn't it cool? Waiting for a baby making a blanket? My husband will also like me doing that. I'm so excited!

Do you want to be a teacher?
Being a teacher is very tough but many people think it is very easy and stable. Yes, I agree with the job is very stable. You don't need to worry about getting fired or overtime work.
However, it is not easy. It definitly needs a great amoun of patience. Teachers spend most of their working time with immature kids. Children always want to listen to themselves. They never try to listen to others. So it is very hard to control them at once. If one starts talking about oneself, then others start talking. It's like one-way talk. I really don't want to, but couldn't help shouting to stop them.
What's worse, the size of the class is too big. It's much more than OECD countries' avarage. Dealing with 30 kids is really stressful. I really enjoy the moment when some kids transfer to another school. Teaching 30 kids is actually impossible. We can't call it teaching. It's just pushing kids to pay attention to the teacher. There is no more teaching.
The present government also keep pushing teachers to be more competitive. A teacher as a job is getting far from a stable job. They are evaluated by parents, students and co-teachers. No other jobs which is regarded professional has been evaluated.
If teachers are asked to be changed for better outcome, they should. However if they are blamed for inflating the private education, it should be stopped. Parents who always want their kids to be better than others and the minister of education which never comes up with the right curriculum should be blamed.
For the 'good' teachers.

Will my life pay me back?
My dinner can be leftovers, Kimbap or some bread. Chewing food hard, I keep telling myself 'My life will pay me back. I will be rewarded with an economically safe furture.' However, I can't stop wondering if it will really happen. WHAT IF NOT?
I've always been told that even if you are too uptight and work hard hoping your life will be better, your life will be same.
I'm scared. Since I'm married, my husband and me have worked so hard. We've saved money more than we'd expected. We've hardly eaten out. We've hardly done shopping. We've hardly bought things.
My life should pay me back. That's why I'm working hard. Without any expectation, it is very difficult to do something hard. However,I'm still scared. My parents,who have sacrificed themselves for the better life, are still far beyond what they've expected.
If this is the life what we all should have, it discourages me.
