However, I couldn’t study hard, I fell a sleep and it was too hard sat down a chair because it was a weekend. The exam was started on last Monday, so I was exhausted of my mind and health. Even I hated look at the books and I couldn’t read the any words, so I looked vacantly other objects. After I tried listen to music and take a nap, but it didn’t work. I couldn’t concentrate on studying. I had the time like that until six. Then I went to my home to have a dinner. When I went to my home, my sister worried about me and makes a dinner for me. She cooked the fried rice which is mixed with kimchi, tuna, and ham and so on. I helped her by cutting ham. I thought like as my sister is a cook and I’m her assistant. At first, I was worried about her cooking because her cook skill was very bad last time. However when I ate the fried rice, the taste was not bad, it was good and little delicious. I appreciate to my sister. During study, I was exhausted and tired. However, after then I gained strength because my sister cheered for me by cooking. Therefore, I could focus on my books and study hard.

The incident began with something very trivial. It was a curiosity about the wrong number to me. I had a phone call for me that look for a person named 'Heasung Shin'. I just hung up the phone because it isn't call for me. But then I think again, I called hin think of the person named 'Heasung Shin' that he look for may be singer 'Heasung Shin' with curiosity. I called and asked, then the person was not 'Heasung Shin' but 'Heajung Shin'. At that moment, I could not put my face up because I burned with shame and I was ashamed of making mistake. So I wanted hang up but he asked me my name, my age, my address, and the like.

 Then we talked to each other and I explained why I did phone again frankly. Then he shouted with laughter like aghast and I laughed with him because I thought that counts for the fun of it. Gradually we had an interest in telephone conversation with asked and answered that. So one hour later, we were unwilling to and hung up the phone. I know him by name, but not by sight. And that is the first bit of communication. But I felt very comfortable like have known each other for a long time. So I want to keep in touch with him

             I have a bad cold. My sickness kept me at home all through the weekend and it's been so cold, I have not been able to spend much time outdoors.

I had some of the following symptoms of colds a few days ago. Low fever, body chills, sore throat, sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes, coughing, and feeling tired. Especially, my throat very hurted and my nose were stuffy and I felt chilly. But I wink the other eye and act normally.

As a result, I am writing in the bed with my covers over my head now. If I pay attention to my health when symptoms of colds appeared, I would have avoided catching a terrible cold like this. I regret immensely what I've done. I was overcome with regret.

I think that the reason why I take a cold is the autumn weather which a huge daily temperature range and enjoy the cool air-conditioned breeze and I go outdoors too soon after washing my hair. I should have been more careful.

             I had a cold and there are many bad things. I have a headache and sometimes I had a horrible headache so I feel dizzy. And the most troublesome or plain annoying thing is runny nose. Now I must blow my nose with a piece of tissue minutely because my nose will not stop running. So the piece of tissue is indispensable to me when walking along the road, take the class in school, in the subway and even when I eat at any time, and anywhere.

Therefore I wish that get rid of my cold as soon as possible.
