Do you suffer from sleeplessnes?
is there any way to overcome it?
I thouht one of the classmates may have experienced at least one time.yeah, during the wintervacation, i had suffered from experience for a month. it was difficult to sleep early. i almost slept at late 2 or 3. it was so terrible. i would like to sleep early. but, it was not able to do it. i was started to count sheeps in ranch. but it was good for nothing.i found that the cause of sleeplessness is problem of strongly stress. the most common cause of sleeplessness is mental tension brought about by anxiety, worries, and anger. i try to overcome insomnia i always go to bed at a fixed time each night and getting up at a fixed time each morning. early to bed and early to rise is a good rule. and you make sure remember that two hours of sleep before midnight is more beneficial than after and taking an exercise and doing Yoga everyday. it is also effective in treatment insomnias.
and now it is good condition, even though i often didn’t go to bed early. if you have an insomnia. try to do away with it!!
I planed jogging in the every morning. This plan decided to do in begining 2006. My jogging course is TAN river. There is TAN river front my home. It is very a suitable place to exercise. because it has specious jogging course and hiking course. It flows to HAN river. Following to go this way, after one hour and half , can arrive HAN river. When I jog in the morning, I always think today’s plan and feel fresh morning air. and then my feeling is better than before jogging. But nowdays I don’t jog. because I’m very tired and then oversleep. So nowdays I depressed and easily become fatigued. I decide to start jogging again from the next day.
I’m very sad tonight and I can’t do anything now, because I heard bad news from my friend in this afternoon at school. I met a woman in infant education class in 2004. I was same group with her and we spent many time together. She was a good woman, actually, she was a teacher in a kingdergarden, so she was always help me to understand more easily what I learned. After the next year, I was absent from school for a year, so I didn’t see her, but I just believed she would be alright. However, I heard about her today..She… passed away on this January …becaause of sudden death caused by stress. How can this happened? I’m very shocked and it is very difficult thing to accept. I can’t think and speak anything. I want to stop everything goes away. I want to everyone who I konw is happy and healthy. …I pray for her tonight wanting she goes to the heaven without sorrow.
Hi everyone,
I’ve added a note about the homework assignment. Please go read it, it’s Assignment #5 at the bottom of the Resources & Homework page for this class. You’re not responsible for a whole outline, but instead just for one section of an outline. However, your section of the outline SHOULD fit with others’ sections.
Don’t worry, after Tuesday I think we won’t be working in these groups, and on Thursday you’re going to start your own essay-writing projects. I think things will get a little more interesting then.
Topics coming soon:
If there’s a topic you’d like us to deal with and it’s not here, please do leave a comment on this post and I’ll see what I can do about adding it to the course.
Korea education has many problems. Korean students are quiter and less participated in thier class than other country’s students. There is little emphasis on developing student creativity. They study to pass an entrance exam or to get a job. School also teach that. In addition to, Korean students learn same subject and same level. Ocassionally, They have to learn about something that is neither gain nor loss. There are only a few place where student can study in Korea. Education is important to everyone’s future success. Despite the fact that Korea economy grows worse, overseas students are increasing. If educational circumstance of Korea doesn’t change, your child may choose abroad because you think forein education is better. We need to have different educational attitude, method, purpose and environment.
My brother is a special person in my life he always helped me since i moved to In-chen he was a good student and striving to be an instance for may brothers and me he was multiplayers. like muliti entertainor. it is that he plays all sports well better than me .for the reason we wanted to like him. Now he got a job and in a few years he got a promotion. wow he own his small branch. and he managed it. he lives alone but lives in a good neighborhood with many of friends near his house. whenever i have free time i will go to see him and play a basketball together. I will expect to see you someday.
I got a letter of my cell from a brother who I’ve known since last year this evening. That is “Someone who always makes complains when s/he is sick and tired and faces very tuff problems is the third class, Someone who stands something to hard is the second class and someone who can enjoy and smile at the time is the fisrt class. ”
I didn’t consider about the meaning of the sentences just as I saw that, but now it’s really gives me a lot of comfort. Actually, today was very hard to me. Although I finished some classes early, but I came back my home so late because there were some books what I have to find for graduation in the library. Of course I didn’t have supper until 9:00PM, so I was angry just like blow up my tears. I don’t know why I sometimes show temper lately. Especially today is very fatigued. However, I came up with the meaning of the letter surprisely, and then I realized the real meaning. At that time, I could find out myself to complain and murmur. There is a saying ; everything is depend on how to think about that. I think that is really truth. And then, I tried to change my mind like this “It’s very grateful and happy for me to spend most of the time to busy.”
Almost people live a busy life with a hectic schedule. Thanks to this lifestyle, they are able to feel more comfortable and joyful rest. To live happier my life, I’ll try to be more diligent person.”
I went to the dentist’s. I’m curing the nerve of a tooth these days. Dentistry is always fear. Although it was the second cure, I was likewise a state of tension. As a result, the whole of my body was very tired. I will go there next Wednesday but I hate the very sight of it.
Thesedays I got a cold, so a topic “health” just came up in my mind.If someone ask what most important thing is in my life, i will answer it’s health!Back to my childhood, my life was near on the cliff. I had a big accident and I had to have a serious opreration. Fortunately, I got back my life and I am very healthy at the moment. My experience doesn’t only give me lesson about importance of health. In usual if I am under the weather, I might not feel active. I may be depressed and I don’t want to do anything. when I am healthy, I can get a motivation to do something such as making a plan and thinking of my future.There is a old Korean saying ”Our body is sound, our mind is healthy.” I seem to know why people stressed phisical health.
I recently saw the paper. the article was about Dana Reeves who fight tirelessly along with her late husband, “Superman�? actor Christopher reeves.
I think probably you should know of her. She died of lung cancer at the aged of 44.
But I can’t believe that she was non-smoker. But she died of lung cancer.
However I newly known that even non-smoker is able to died of lung cancer.
There was speculation about what might have caused her cancer. The main reason is that she song in smoky bar when she was a club singer. She was a secondhand smoker.
I don’t really understand it can be died of such a things. I’ve never seen around me.
But it is a possibly known risk factor for cancer of lung.
I had smoked since I entered in university. I had stopped the smoke 5 years before. There are many both men and women smokers in our country. Even the price of cigarettes increased till 3000 won. It would be terrible for smoker.
Anyway, we try to avoid the place where people were smoking near you
Quitting smoke is difficult. But we try to stop smoking.
Mt grandmother lived together in my house. I brought up excusively by her. She was my friend and mother and teacher. I always shared in my joy, sorrow, even suffering. I used to talk about my life story, she also listened attentively. I lived my childhood happily with her. One day, what I can’t believe happened. My grandmother went on her last year. I felt very sad and shed tears and couldn’t anything. I wept myself out of breath. Eight years have passed since then. My life is empty. I feel a need to share with someone. Whenever I have a difficult problem, I remind of my grandmather. It still makes me feel sorrow. I really out of love for good old days. I’m really miss her.
During the last vacation, I worked as a salesclerk in a store. One day, I was working in the field floor. An old woman was going against a strong wind with had a bundle in her hand. I was so sorry to see that she was in trouble. So, I helped her. I asked my boss and went together to bus-stop. Walking with her, I heard about her poor family, and The story touched my heart. When the bus arrived, she was very grateful to help and then left. I stared blankly for a long time. Untill now, I can’t put her out of my mind. Through this event, I gave me my word that I’ll lend assistance to poor guys, and I’ll try everthing I can be done. We may one day be in want and need to help. We shall be happy to be of any service to someone. In the hard world, think of your surroundings every now and then.
I’m taking a human relationship course this term. I hesitated whether I chose this class or not when I heard a curriculum at the first time because of so many group activities. But I thought only about that real aid or help to live in my life, so I decided to take this class. It gives a lot of satisfations and delight to me. I had a presentation about some people who can’t adapt to any other persons yesterday. Thanks to the presentation, I became familiar with our group people who I didn’t know former days and I could think about someone near me deeply. Actually, I could find out a sense of gratitude to them as well as my mistake. It’s not difficult to find someone that has a light human relationship these days. In my opinion, that is ordinary thing in our life and sometimes neccessary in various group. However, if there is only human relationship like that, we absolutly feel lonely. I realized I need to more open my mind to others and to believe them. Maybe in time the end of this course, I hope that I can gain to lots of lessons and some tactics for a good human relationship.
I’m driving me mad. These days I don’t like me. I’m living a lazy life and without plan or goal. I have stacks of work to do but I’m easygoing. In fact, I really don’t know how my life make worth yet. So, I always run about in confusion and even. I’m afraid my future. I’m in a state of confusion. I can’t discover a new fresh start. I feel pity and impatient myself without development. I’m tired from meaningless time and life becomes more and more tedious. I wish I had someone who was advised me toward to well live methods.
I have prepared for TOEIC for 3 months. it will be taken on this Sunday. so as soon as I finished my classes, I went to library in a hurry and studied. I met a senior for a long time in there. We have dinner together at cafeteria. She is not employed yet. But she isn’t worried about employment and she is in good earnest. Maybe she ’ll have a good job.^^
It already passed more than two weeks after the semester starts. Starting always makes me have expectations, hopes, and lots of decisions. It’s quite interesting. During that time, I’m just happy. There is no reason for that. I’m full of energy. I feel I could do and achieve anything only if I try.
But from this moment, around two weeks later from the semester, I am a little bit depressed. One reason is that my will is disappearing. The other reason is assignments; too many assignments make me give up many things, as I have done for the rest of Univ. life.
Not to fail, I should pull myself together. I should not worry about too many things to come. I should do my best for things that I right faced.
Prime minister Hae-Chan Lee resignated because of golf accident. His behavior is very imprudence and should deserve to blame. But resignation is not the end. We exactly examine why he plays golf with employers and whether it has politic destination or not. That is, resignation is not covered with facts. I have seen many accident that before faults examine, it is kept secret or becomes concealment. I hope that this accident is not following wrong way. and he heartly realizes his fault and then should not do again same as it. Finally, I want to select new prime minister as soon as possible.
People have a different dream. I have also dream in many ways, not only about my job. Actually, I didn’t know what I want to do and didn’t think about it. I temporarily stayed away from university for a year and worked in store. During working, I was thinking about my future. When I was young, my dream was bigger than now. As I grow older, I feel that my dream is getting smaller. As time goes by, and, it is changing. I’ve never dreamed of doing such a thing, but I’m dreaming now. Anyway, what someone have any dream affects their life. If he/she doesn’t have it, there is no hope too. I looked someone who realized their long-chrished dream. I was really envy them and I’d like that. So, I’m thinking about my future these days and trying to.
In Korea, musical is booming lately, so many domestic and foregin musical productions are performing now. However, most of the hit musicals are big foregin works. For example, most seats of Jekyll and Hyde were sold out when it performed first in Korea and Aida is gaining public favor, besides, two actress were received a trophy in Korea Musical Award last year. Also, I Love You which is still performing now since 2005 and Hedwig And The Angry Inch win popularity although they were perfomed in little theater. Each of four works above has glamour story and many exciting songs. In this situation, Yoduk Story‘s coming is very strange.
Do you know what Yoduk is? Yoduk is the town of North Korea and gulag for inmates who tried to escape from North Korea or were doubted as political criminal is in Yoduk. In other words, Musical Yoduk Story is about the prison camps of North Korea. In that place, execution and brutal violence like cutting a hand or rape are happened continually. This shocking events show on the stage realistically. For this reason, Yoduk Story was menaced by some people who didn’t want to this musical attract attention of the world.
Jung Sung San who make this musical is defector from North Korea. His father was died in Yoduk prison. The death was miserable because it was open execution. Jung Sung San heard his father’s death in Seoul, so he decided to make a story about human rights abuses in North Korea. He hope to this story awake apathy about wretched people in North Korea. In fact, the press of Japan and U.S.A is concerned about Yoduk Story performing in South Korea.
Today WBC a semifinal game held (KOREA&JAPAN)at afternoon. Although I saw at home, many people gather in jam-sil playground, a seoul municipal office and so on. I expect to win again. But we lost 6-0 score. I’m unwiling to lost because of our rival Japan. Frankly speaking, I don’t like baseball. However, WBC makes me like it. and I first heard our poor surrounding. Therefore,we have accomplished a great thing. I’m proud of our players. I also expect to come true again on 2006 World cup.
Korea fighting!!
I climbed Kwan-Ak Mountain with my family. We departed about at 6:30. Although we really felt sleepy, early in the morning’s air is very cool and fresh. We climbed an easy course but felt difficult. Because we didn’t climb a mountain for a long time. At the conclusion of suffering, we arrived the top of a mountain. A wide prospect burst upon my view as I arrived there. It made me both joy and achievement. So, we shouted “ya-ho”. After that we ate a box lunch deliciously. It really tasted good. We had a rest for a little while. All things on the top are sweet as honey. We went down a mountain after we had a good time. By the way, I fell over a stone the moment. I only felt shame at first but I felt a pain gradually. Any way, I was happy because I had a great day with my family.
I have some special things about shoes.When I look at people, I have an weird habit like watching his shoes at first. I don’t know why.. Just my eyes are moving to the shoes. Probably I am very interested in other’s shoes and I get first impression by their shoes. Also I can guess what’s their character like.For example, a person who wears flat shoes might be active and cheerful that’s because flat shoes make people to move freely. Another unique thing about the shoes is that i hate new shoes. I feel more comfortable with old shoes. If I buy a new shoes, I will not wear it more ofen than old one. I am very sensitive with pain on my foot, so I prefer old and comfortable shoes.
My part time job is a tutor. I have been teaching my younger brother from two years ago. subject is mathematics, it was but somewhat difficult at first. A unit of this day was a probability. this lesson usually cause pain to students. Therefore, I was anxious that he might give up with preparation. He has achieved it fortunately although there lay difficulty in the way. I was so happy. Teaching someone is very hard because must assume the responsibility. However gladness is doubled when students got a good result. I hope he’ll get a good result in a final examination.
Today’s weather was very fine unlike yesterday’s weather. Now it is likely to start spring. I am fond of spring. because spring is warm and my mind wanders. Today I went to walk from youk-gok staion to catholic university. During walking, I feel spring smell and refreshing mood. I already expect to come cherry blossoms festival on april. I went to go cherry blossoms festival with my friends a year ago. At that time, I’m so excited and impressed. But I miss not to walk for much time. because there are many people. Of course this year festival will come to go many people. However,I want to go there again.
oh!! this blog a little difficult to me.;; It’s complecated. How were you today? I was very tired. I met my friend and we went to Sin-Chon for shopping. There were too many people. I didn’t eat lunch and dinner. As soon as I came back home, I took supper. However soon I regreted eating. I’m worried about my weight now.
I am on the way to school. my cell phone rang . it ’s my friends “woo shin” I answer the phone. hi what’ up? he said ”it was not fine. so i asked him what happen to you? he said nothing. and suddenly he asked me if i work to live or live to work. i thougt that he seemed to be strange. it was philosophical question for me. I answered the question. and told him if i am not worker and don’t work right now i am not be able to give your exactly answer. and said sometimes i work to live. when i am accustomed to working, we seemed to live to work. and it depends on their idea.
what do you think about that? if everyone had specific reasons plz leave comments.
thank you for Prof. Gord.
Good night!!
Although I have many assignments, I don’t start yet. But, I don’t care because I like do something at night. From my childhood, I liked the stillness of the night. In a deserted room, I used to talk to my friend over the telephone. Till late at night, I listened to the radio. Sometimes, I was in deep thought. When it falls, I can write a letter with a nature voice. I reflect on my conduct and make a plan for the next day. I pass a night without sleep before an exam, and do my assignments by night. The night is far advanced as usual. Now, in this silent night, I’ m writing about my magical night. Maybe I’ll also do something tomorrow night, the evening after next.
Yesterday, I and my friend talked about our marriages. Exactly, we discussed how we can find our husbands. We had totally different opinions.
First of all, in case of me, I believe my destiny, in other words, I and my husband can meet coincidently and naturally. Conversely, my friend said that she will use some companies which are in charge of providing her with men in a wealthy and governing class. I contradicted her opinion right away cause if she will have a sort of artificial meeting with a guy, she will be getting to just focus on the appearances of the guy such as his job, body, face, and socio-ecomonic status rather than his personalities. Furthermore, I added that the personalities of my husband or the chemistry between him and me will be much more important aspects of my marriage life after getting married. From my experiece like blind dates, it turned out that artificial meetings will prevent people from seeing the sincere insides of the people. Despite of my contradiction, she insisted on that you should use this way in that it is extremely difficult for you to find your Mr.Right ,and she gave me advice; you need to be more realistic.
To tell the truth, no matter how people think about my opinion, I want to insist on that marriage be all about love which is formed naturally, not socio-economic things.
