My cousin came to Korea from China for one week. When she came to her home, I called her right away and had lunch. After lunch, we went to Baskin Robbins and had ice cream. About nine, we went to Jjim jil bang together. We had eggs, a sweet drink made from fermented rice, and red-bean sherbet. It was wonderful that we wanted to eat more but we felt getting fat so we stopped and went to sleep at three in the morning.

I felt nervous meeting my cousin because we were meeting each other about six months ago. She was the same as last time. When I heard that she will come, I jumped because of happiness.

Learning
In the morning before meeting my cousin, I had Chinese lesson. I learned conversations and vocabularies.

Happened
It is Kay’s birthday today. Helena, Kay, Rina, Wendy and I went to Lotte World altogether. Our eyes were all swallowed because of tiredness. My eyes got so read because of wearing contacts when I have an eye disease. We thought there will be no people at Lotte World because Korean school are having test next week and they go to school today but surprisingly, there were a lot of people. Some machine, we had to wait for more than thirty minutes. However it was better having more people than no people.

Feeling
First going into Lotte World, my heart was beating fast because of scariness. I just got scared even though I can ride everything. When Gyro Drop was falling, my heart also felt falling down. However it was marvelous!

Learning
We also went to Jjim Jil Bang after Lotte World. I really wanted to stay there more and take a rest but Helena and Kay had to go. Therefore, we all decided to go home. It was sort of wasting money. I learned to not waste money. Still it was tremendous today.

At two in the afternoon my mom was shouting at me. I didn’t wake up until two. For lunch I had bread and went to sleep again and woke up one hour later. In front of my laptop, I sat down and turned it on. For more than five hours, I played computer. I got a chat with my friends. Planning where are we going to go tomorrow. We finally decided to go to Lotte World. I didn’t really want to go because I already went there this month.

Feeling
Mt head was almost cracking because of playing too much computer.

Learning
I learned that if I play too much computer, my head gets hurt. Therefore do not play too much computer. Instead of playing computer, go out and just play.

On Chusok we thank our ancestors for this year's blessings. Also during Chusok our whole families get together to celebrate the holiday.
Songpyun is one main food we prepare on Chusok.On Chusok night we can see a full moon. We give a wish to the full moon.



Happened
My mom woke me up at six in the morning. Our family had to get ready to go to grand parent’s house. The good thing is that most of people grand parent lives far away but our grand parent lives right next to our home so it takes only five minutes to get there. Therefore we don’t have to get ready for long time. At seven, we arrived to my grand parent’s home. I really wanted to go to sleep but my mom didn’t let me. Consequently I had to be awake and try hard to not go to sleep. We did a religious service. After we had breakfast and came back to home at about nine thirty. Right away I went to sleep and woke up at one. I had a rest for two hours and got ready to go to another grand parent’s home. In there we had dinner and I played with little sisters and brothers. They are younger than four years old. They were so cute and I really didn’t want to come back to home.

Feeling
In the morning I felt really tired. However in the afternoon when I met cousins, I felt happy. For one month I didn’t see them, so I missed them a lot. It was first time they were being enjoyable in front of me. They always stayed with there parents because they got shy but this time it was great.

Learned
My grand parents gave me money because it was Chusok. I didn’t really express how I am thank you for it. My mom said that I have to learn how to express. Therefore I tried to and I did it. I hugged them and said Thank you. Today I learned how to express my feeling.

At half past ten, I met Kay in front of Apqujung station. We went to Gosok terminal and walk around to see if there is clothes to buy. I had to buy shoes before and right in front of me, there were some shoes. It was beautiful that it made me really want to buy. We went into the store and saw red shoes. It was only 100,000 won. Therefore I just bought it. Kay’s birthday was coming soon. She decided to buy some clothes that she can wear in her birthday party. I saw a skirt that looks really nice, so I asked Kay to try it. I think that she liked it as well. Consequently she bought it. We didn’t have anything to do, but then Wendy just came. We all went to have lunch and walked around. Finally we decided to go to Noraebang. We rode a subway to go back to Apqujung. At there we went to Noraebang and went to Baskin Robbins.

Feeling
It was a tired and fun day. When we walked around the terminal, we got so tired and exhausted because it was way too long. There wasn’t even pretty clothes. At Noraebang, my throat got sore because of singing high notes songs. Still it was fun and cheerful.

For two hours I played computer games and went to Hyundai Department store to meet my grandparents. My grandfather asked me what grade I got in my school classes. I said that there are As and Bs. He got surprised and gave me money! Last year, I never had A except for math, chorale and band. Therefore he got very impressed.

Therefore we went there and had ice-cream and had a chat. Right beside McDonald there was crispy donut. Thus, I went there and bought twelve donuts for my little brother. Then, we rode a bus to go home. Too much cars were out the rode. Consequently, it took one hour to go home.

Feeling
Everyday my eyes are red. I think because I sleep late. Still I went to myungdong with Helena. My heart felt horrible. For the reason that, in the subway we got off at guanghwamoon instead of myungdong. Therefore we had to walk a lot. Still we thought in positive way as it can be exercising.

Learning
Before we went to myungdong, we just went in to subway with no thinking. When we got the phone call, the birthday person said that they are watching movies. Therefore, we thought the movie theater was in apgujung so we took off. Other than we got the phone call again and they said they are in myungdong. We got regret and went into subway again.
